미국 캐나다 생활 영어: Pinch pennies

미국 캐나다 생활 영어: Pinch pennies

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

​

"Pinch pennies"

돈에 극도로 신중하거나 검소하거나 경제적인 의미로 사용되는 관용구입니다.

이는 누군가가 돈을 지출하는 데 매우 신중하며 가능한 한 절약하려고 노력하며

종종 불필요한 지출을 피하거나 비용을 줄이는 방법을 찾는 것을 시사합니다.

 

한 마디로

"돈을 아끼다"라는 소리입니다. ^^

​

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
