看绝望的主妇学英语高频短语:Cut back on (something)
Cut back on (something): to reduce or decrease the amount of something;to reduce the use, amount, or cost of something. As in You are all going to have to cut back on water usage. Or You simply must cut back on office expenses.
中文释义:“缩减开支”,我们可以用“stop spending so much” 来表达,但是,日常生活中,老外会说”cut back on expenses”,其中cut back是减少的意思。 例句:“Yeah, it is getting out of control. we have to cut back on expenses.” (我们花钱有点多了,我们要节省开支。)另外引用其他两个意思相近短语:“cut the frills”,它可以来表达“减少不必要开支”的意思;“hold back spending”,这里表达的是“缩减,减少花费”的意思。
