双11狂欢之后，如何用英语表达"我很穷"?

一年一度的双11购物狂欢节已经结束了，在经历疯狂的剁手之后，你的钱包还好吗?今天跟小编一起来学习下“我很穷，没有钱”用英语怎么表达吧!

strapped

缺钱的，手头紧的

例句：

I am broke

我破产了

很多人一看到这个短语，第一反应可能是 “我受伤了” 。这里我们要说明一下，broke作为形容词，意思是 “一文不名的”，作为动词，才是 “破坏，损坏”的意思。 而broken是 “破损的;坏掉的” 的意思。因此如果要表达 “我受伤了”， 应该要说 I am broken.而 I am broke 的意思是 “我破产了;我很穷没有钱”

1、He spends all day complaining about how broke he is 。

他一天到晚抱怨自己穷到吃土。
