介绍:
Hi everyone and welcome to today’s podcast
Today’s expression is “well-off”
Well-off is another way to say “rich”, but it sounds better because it’s more polite. At the same time, it’s less formal than “wealthy”, so we say “well-off” a lot in everyday conversations.
well-off
比 rich 更婉转，礼貌
比 wealthy 更接近日常口语
Let’s have a listen to a dialogue
A: How are you and Jen going?
A: 你和 Jen 还好吗？
B: I guess we’re ok, but I don’t really get along with her family.
B: 还可以吧，但是我跟她的家人不是很合。
A: Oh? d"Why not?
A: 哦？为什么呢？
B: Well, they’re pretty well-off, but I come from an average family, so sometimes I feel like they look down on me.
他们挺富裕的，但是你知道我的家庭挺普通的，所有有时候我觉得他们瞧不起我
Here’s my question to you: do you know anyone that’s very well-off?
