这几天，看新闻说比尔·盖茨要退休了，500亿的家当啊，全捐出去。他不心疼，我心疼。我也很穷，我不贪心，基金会给我个零头就行了，咱金字塔才到物质水平阶段，什么时候上升到精神水平的上层？

• flat broke   没钱
  ex: Bill Gates, please help me. I'm flat broke.  盖茨啊，我没钱啊。接济，接济我吧。
• a red cent  面值最小的钱
  我看到有些网站上说I don't have a red cent是没钱的意思。实际上a red cent本身就是面值最小的钱了，还有比这更穷的么？
  ex: I have a red cent.   我穷的叮当响。
• penny-wise, pound-foolish 小钱计较，大钱糊涂
  ex: He spent very little on food, but blew all his money in casino last week. He is a penny-wise, pound-foolish man.  上个礼拜他把小钱都省下了，大钱挥霍一空在赌场。
• down-and-out  没钱，没工作，没家
  ex: After losing everything in one bet, he's completely a down-and-out.    他一把输掉了全部身家，现在他成了个穷光蛋。
• A fool and his money are easily parted. 笨蛋哪里存得了钱
  ex: He is such a fool. He either spends or lose his money by accident. A fool and his money are easily parted. 他真是个笨蛋。不是花钱就是掉钱。笨蛋存不了钱啊。
