美国俚语:过上舒适富裕的生活 in fat city
英语课
今天要学的习惯用语是：in fat city。 in fat city这个习惯用语最早出现在七十年代，如今已经广泛流传。我们看个例子来体会in fat city是什么意思吧：
例句：Some people have all the luck 1! I just heard that my college 2 roommate 3 Freddie is in fat city these days - a rich aunt died 4 and left him 20 million 5 dollars.
他说：有些人就是幸运。他刚听说他大学时的室友Freddie的姑姑去世，留给Freddie两千万美元的遗产。
Freddie得了那么可观的一笔钱财，如今一定是优哉游哉，尽情享受人生。他说他的前室友is in fat city these days就是这个意思。可见习惯用语in fat city是用来描绘舒适富裕的生活的。
