英语口语：“最近手头紧”( I'm on a budget)英语怎么说？

春节到了，最近手头(有点)紧。

“最近手头紧”在英语里有几个意思：

1. 不说I am poor，你说I am on a budget.

2. 不说 I don’t have much money to spend，你说 I am on a budget.

Budget，中文“预算”。英文：

When you say budget, you mean you are balancing your spending and your income, you want to make a balance between how much money you will earn and how much money you can spend. Do not spend more than you earn.

这也是“英语口语”，不是吗？

那么，I am on a budget又是什么意思(英语)呢？

不是中文：手头紧。

1. Well,when you say You are on a budget, you can also say：I am having a tight budget.

2. Well,when you say You are on a budget, you mean I have only a limited amount of money to spend on something,OR：

I have only a certain amount of money to spend on something.

这也是“英语口语”。

I am short on cash也是“手头紧”。

用中文学英语很重要，用英语学英语记英语积累英语同样很重要。
