1. smart money 精明的投資者,搞經濟的專家
Smart這個字有好幾個解釋,比如說,聰敏,伶俐,漂亮,還可以解釋為厲害等。在smart money這個習慣用語里,smart

少自己有錢叫出租車回家去。
現在,mad money的含義已經擴大了。Mad money是另外放出的一小部份現金,準備在緊急時候用的。我們來舉一個例
子吧。這是一個丈夫在說話。
例句3: The other day we ran out of gas sixty miles from home. I had forgotten my wallet. But we were lucky - my wife
remembered she had her mad money, so we were able to buy gas to get back home.
那天,我們在離家六十英里的地方發現汽車里沒有汽油了。我那天又忘了帶錢包。但是,我們很幸運,因為我太太記得她
有一些準備急用的現金,所以我們能買了汽油,開車回家。
例句4: Last Saturday, my daughter was invited to a dinner party and planned to buy a cake on her way. In the bakery,
she found out that she'd forgotten her pur. Fortunately, she had her mad money in her pocket to pay for the cake, so it
turned out all right.
