dear是“亲爱的”，money是“钱”，那dear money是什么意思？
如果问当代年轻人的愿望，“暴富”绝对是其中之一。英语里也有很多和“money”有关的表达，今天就来了解一下吧。
首先，需要给大家介绍的就是高频短语dear money...看到“dear money”后你的第一反应是什么？是不是认为dear是“亲爱的”，money是“钱”，所以就想当然地把dear money翻译成“亲爱的钱”了呢？
其实不然。钱对人们来说确实是“亲爱的”，但要注意“dear”，除了大家熟知的“亲爱的”这层意思之外，它还可以表示“高价的；昂贵的”。
The food was good but very dear.
饭很好吃，但是太昂贵了。
It costs me much to buy that ring as diamonds are very dear.
买那枚钻戒花了我不少钱，因为钻石价格非常高。
所以，老外常所说的 dear money实则就是 “高利贷，高价的利息” 的意思。
He said the bill fails to address dear money issues.
他说，这项法案没有解决高利贷问题。
It is illegal to make dear money.
放高利贷是违法的。
“money”是一个非常常见的英语单词，再来复习一下与它相关的表达吧。
