今天我们要学习的是Foot the bill

 

一．Foot the bill就是结账的意思了。可以理解成去走去柜台埋单。在语言表达的时候也会时常出现买，出资的一些场合。

下面的题目，看看如何去将foot the bill运用到回答里面去。涉及到出钱的大家都可以用这个短语了。希望大家能够举一反三多加运用。

1.Why young people tend to waste money?

Frankly speaking, Young people are an age-group that in their adolescence, which is time that they want to establish their own way of living style and proving how different they are from others.Therefore during this period of time they would quite likely to footing on the wrong bill on buying things overly charged without actual practical purpose to distinguish themselves.

老实说，年轻人正处于青春期，是一段树立自我生活方式和与众不同的感觉的时期。在这个阶段当中，他们很容易就会买一些很贵，却没多少实际用途的东西来突出自我。

2.Should government spending more money on building more public gardens?

In my opinion, public gardens are places that have plenty of vegetation and facilities allowing citizens to have some relaxation and improve their living standard. Since governments are powerful authorities that have the power to collect tax for taxpayer, they do have the responsibility to foot the bill on building gardens to increase the satisfaction of the public。  

我看来，公园是一个充满绿化和器械,可以让市民去放松并提高生活标准。因为政府是一个可以向纳税人收税的权利机构，应该负起提高民众满足感的责任，并为公园建造花钱的。
