<p>我们已经给大家介绍过几个跟钱有关的习惯用语。今天我们再给大家讲两个以钱，也就是<span word="money">money</span>这个字为主的习惯用语。对于许多人来说，钱是非常重要的东西。在美国的成语和俗语里有不少是跟钱这个字有关的。</p><p>我们今天首先要给大家介绍的一个习惯用语是：<span word="Smart">Smart</span> <span word="money">money</span>. <span word="Smart">Smart</span>这个字有好几个解释，比如说，聪敏，伶俐，漂亮，还可以解释为厉害等。在<span word="smart">smart</span> <span word="money">money</span>这个习惯用语里，<span word="smart">smart</span>是指聪敏。大家恐怕也不难猜出<span word="smart">smart</span> <span word="money">money</span>的意思。<span word="Smart">Smart</span> <span word="money">money</span>是指那些有经验的投资商或善于赌博的人经管投资的钱。有的时候，<span word="smart">smart</span> <span word="money">money</span>可以直接指这些人。下面就是一个例子。这是一个人在对朋友说经商的前景。</p><p>例句1: <span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="think">think</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="economy">economy</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="heading">heading</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="down">down</span>? <span word="The">The</span> <span word="smart">smart</span> <span word="money">money</span> <span word="seems">seems</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="think">think</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="business">business</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="better">better</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="maybe">maybe</span> <span word="it">it</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="put">put</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="money">money</span> <span word="into">into</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="stock">stock</span> <span word="market">market</span>.</p><p>这个人说：你认为经济的前景是会变得更兴旺呢，还是会变得越来越疲软。那些搞经济的专家们似乎认为商业会越来越好，所以，也许现在是把一些钱投资到股票市场去的时候了。</p><p>******</p><p>由于美国投资市场五花八门，许多人都感到难以入门，可是最保险的银行存款又利率太低，所以越来越多的人把钱投入互助基金等收益更高的投资项目。下面就是一个退休的人在说他自己的经历。</p>
