“狂热的相爱”答案中给的是“so much in love”,エイシュン君童鞋指出牛津里面刚好有“madly in love”的用法,大家选择自己觉得比较好的用吧!
今天我们要学习的两个习惯用语是:Front money & Hush money。
Front money:Front就是前面的意思。那么,front money 按字面来解释就是:前面的钱。这听起来似乎不知所云,但是它确实包含了实际的内容。Front money作为习惯用语,它的意思就是:头款。这是指开办新企业时所需要的钱。Front money 也可以指开始进行一笔交易时先要付的一笔钱,也就是定金。这笔钱能够保证你今后有参与这笔交易的权利。
eg: I can see the future of that computer software company will be very profitable and I would very much like to invest in it. But the group wants me to pay a large sum of front money which I can't afford.
eg: Taking hush money from a gangster to keep your mouth shut about something you saw him do is dangerous. He might decide it's cheaper to hire somebody to kill you than to keep paying you off the rest of your life.
