别人找自己借钱，这时候首先想到I have no money这种表达！虽然偶尔老外也听得懂这种说法，不过，“我没钱”确实不是这样表达。
今天，我们就来聊聊如何地道表达：#我没钱#，还有关于钱的一些相关用语。

1 I have no money 我没有钱
↓
"I'm skint"我手头比较紧（钱都花光了）。
I have no money听起来很对，但感觉像警匪片里遭到抢劫后会说的句子，日常中老外不会说这么啰嗦，只会说一句"I'm skint"别人就知道你最近手头比较紧，不方便借钱。
例如，An area of London where skint punk rockers would hang out，就是指：
伦敦的一个地区，那里经常有一贫如洗的朋克摇滚乐手出没
2 I have a lot of money 我有很多钱
↓
"I'm loaded"我很有钱
对，没错！这句话就非常的土豪了，基本上代表着你就是传说中的钻石王老五。
一般情况下，人们不太会说I have a lot of money，但是，如果要表达这层意思，很简单，就说I am loaded.
例句
Can you imagine being loaded like that? Having expensive cars and lots of houses—it must be incredibly rich.
你能想象有钱的样子吗？拥有昂贵的汽车和大量的房子——这一定是惊人的富有。
3 I am poor 我没钱
↓
I am strapped.手头紧
经常听到人说I'm poor.. I'm poor...I'm poor，不管什么都用poor。
但歪果仁就算手头一时很紧，也不会说自己poor，因为poor是穷到基本要靠救济过日子的程度。他们一般用strapped来代替poor。
例句
I'm strapped for cash recently
我最近手头很紧。
4 low budget 预算少
↓
on a tight budget预算紧张
tight是很紧的意思，budget是预算，on a tight（small、shoestring）budget就代表说，处于一个预算很紧张的状态，言下之意，没钱。
例句
She started her business on a small/tight/shoestring budget and could not afford to overspend.
她开始做生意时预算很少，不能超支。
有关钱的句子有哪些用法？
wrong change =找错钱
↓

收银员给我找错钱了。我买了5美元一本的书，给了她10美元，但她只给我找了2美元。
too much change =多找钱
↓
give someone too much change给某人多找了
If a cashier gives you too much change, you'd better give it back.
如果收银员给你多找钱了，最好还回去。
short change =少找钱
↓
I think I was shortchanged in the restaurant, because I've only got $10 in my wallet when I should have $20 .
我感觉饭店给我少找钱了，因为我钱包里只有10美元，本来应该有20的呀。
或者，可以说
