朋友说心情不好，拉着我去逛商场.一个下午过后，他居然把卡上的钱给洗刷得一干二净。我不停的劝他还是不要买了，这么贵又没用的东西值不能的，他居然念了一句诗把我吓得半死：钱嘛，野火烧不尽，春风吹又生!。呵，还真没想到这句诗会用在这里，我想他是在表明他非常有钱吧!这让我想起了英文中的一个相应的表达have money to burn. 从字面上看，这个片语的意思是指拥有可以用来焚烧的钱，我想暗含的意思不外乎两种，一种是这个人肯定非常有钱，另一种是这个人肯定是疯子。当然这只不过一种调侃的说法啦，事实上这个片语的意思是：有用不完的钱。如：
Every time I see her I always find that she holds a new style of cell phone. She must have money to burn.
大伙应该注意，这个片语总是指因为钱比较多而不珍惜，总是胡乱的烧钱，尤其是花在一些非必须的地方，看看英文分析就比较了解了：this idiom refers to someone who has more money than he needs, so that he spends it on unnecessary things.再看一个例子：
I think the expensive car is probably not for me, unless I have the money to burn.
今天大家要学习的第二个片语是：put money on it.你了解这的意思是吗？ 这个片语刚开始源于博彩业，假如大家坚持相信某事将发生，他们可能就会把赌注压在上面，从而形成这一片语，意思是一定某事会发生，在某事上打赌。the idiom used to say that you feel sure that something will happen.先看个例子：
Tom is very confidant of his success to accomplish his purpose. He tells his workmate that he can put money on it.
2003年十月，国内首艘载人航天飞船已经成功发射并顺利完成飞行任务，这是我航天事业进步中的一个尤为重要的里程碑，我敢一定不久的以后，登陆月球将变成现实。
After China launched1 its first manned spaceship successfully, I was sure that Chinese peoples dream to land on the moon would come true soon. I was willing to put money on it.
结束语：今天大家学习了两个片语，一个是have money to burn，这是一个夸张的说法，意思指钱多得用不完。另一个片语是put money on it，指确信某事会发生，想就此事打赌。
