Money, Money, Phrasal Verbs about Money!
money，money，和money有关的动词短语！
Well, last week I finally dipped into that money that I had been putting aside for the past year and a half. I decided that I should really enjoy myself so I splashed out and had a great meal at Andy's. Next, I went to Macys on Saturday and laid out $400 for that suit I'd told you about. Of course, I used a great deal of what I had saved up to pay back that bill I had run up on my Visa card. It feels great to finally have some money after all those years of scraping by. Thanks again for tiding me over during that long winter of '05. I don't think I would have got by without your bailing me out. Unfortunately, I also had to cough up about $250 in insurance costs. Oh well, I guess shelling out the cash for those things is just as necessary as anything else...
嗯，上个星期，我终于开始清点过去的一年半里我存下来的钱。我决定好好享受一次，所以我花了一大笔钱在Andy店里吃了一顿好的。接下来，我又在周六去了梅西百货公司，花400美元买下了上次跟你提到过的那套西装。当然，我花掉了一大笔自己存的钱，来支付信用卡账单。这些年来勉强维持着生活，现在有点钱，这感觉真不错。再次感谢05年冬天帮助我度过难关。没有你的帮助，我肯定过不下去了。不幸的是，我不得不为自己的保险支付250美元。好吧，我想这些费用确实是必要的。

One last tip
最后一个建议
Make sure that when you are studying new verbs in the dictionary to read the entire entry. Don't just learn the main verb; take time to look at the phrasal verbs that are constructed using the verb.
在学习词典中所有的新词时，一定要看看整个条目。不要只学习主要动词；花点时间看看与动词构成短语的其他词语。
This will save you a lot of time in the long run. Believe me, if you haven't been to an English speaking country, chances are that one of the biggest difficulties for you will be understanding phrasal verb usage. If you already live in a country where English is the primary language you certainly have already experienced this.
从长远看，这会帮助你省下不少时间。相信我，如果你刚好没去过说英语的国家，你遇到最棘手的问题可能就是动词短语的理解问题。如果你在英语是主要语言的国家生活过，你就一定曾经历过这种情况。
