和老外聊天的地道口語第119期:我都快入不敷出了!
E: hi, Lander. What's wrong?
L: I can hardly make ends meet these days.
E: same here. I have't brought any new clothes for three months.
L: my income remains the same but prices just continue to rise.
E: true. The news says that there is a general increase in the price of daily mecessilities.
L: difinitely. I have to spend 300 yuan more on food every month.
E: the biggest price jump is for pork, so most people have to turn to chicken.
L: is that inflation?
E: inflation is more than just the rising prices, I guess. But the central bank is warning about the risk of inflation.
L: has the government taken some measures to curb it?
E: yes. The government has banned price hikes in some key industries like energy.
L: but I'm afraid the price hikes will spill over from food into other areas of the economy.
E: you said it. I think we should tighten our budget and cut our spending.
L: how?
E: for a start, we can take the public transport to work. You know, running a car is a big expense.
L: sounds a good idea.
嗨,藍德,怎麼了?
我都快入不敷出了.
我也是.我已經三個月沒買新衣服了.
我工資沒漲,但是物價一直在上漲.
是啊,新聞說,幾乎所有的日用品都漲價了.
的確,我每月要多花300元錢在食物上.
漲價最厲害的就是豬肉,所以很多人改吃雞肉了.
這就是通貨膨脹嗎?
我想通貨膨脹不僅僅是物價上漲,但是中央銀行說有通貨膨脹的危險.
政府採取什麼措施了嗎?
是啊.政府禁止主要行業如能源領域的物價上漲.
但是我覺得物價上漲會波及到食品業以外的其他行業.
所以我認爲我們應該緊縮預算,減少開支.
具體怎麼做啊?
首先,我們可以乘公交車或坐地鐵去上班,開車花費太高了.
好主意.
