第19课：吝啬的，贪婪的 - 6
【迷你小对话】
A: Lisa did not bring a birthday gift to the party. I think she is becoming more closefisted with each passing year.
B: I think she is parsimonious because she is afraid she will run out of money. It is a little frightening to retire and live on a pension.
A: Lisa来参加生日派对的时候没带生日礼物。我发现她一年比一年小气了。
B: 我认为她是担心会把钱都花光，所以过于节俭。退休后只靠养老金过活是有点儿让人恐惧。
