Every time I see her I always find that she holds a new style of cell phone. She must have money to burn.
(每次看到她总是发现她又拥有了一款新式手机。她的钱一定多得用不完!)
大家需要注意，这个片语往往指由于钱比较多而不珍惜，往往胡乱的花钱，特别是花在一些不必要的地方，看看英文解析就比较清楚了：this idiom refers to someone who has more money than he needs, so that he spends it on unnecessary things.再看一个例子：
I think the expensive car is probably not for me, unless I have the money to burn.
(我想这款昂贵的车可能不适合我，除非我钱多得用不完。)
今天我们要学习的第二个片语是：put money on it.你知道这是什么意思吗？ 这个片语最初来自于博彩业，如果人们坚持相信某事将发生，他们可能就会把赌注压在上面，从而形成这一片语，意思是“肯定某事会发生(to be certain that something will happen)，在某事上打赌。”the idiom used to say that you feel sure that something will happen.先看个例子：
Tom is very confidant of his success to accomplish his purpose. He tells his workmate that he can put money on it.
(Tom对于成功实现他的目标很有信心，他告诉他的同事，他在这事儿上可以打赌。)
2003年10月，我国首艘载人航天飞船已经成功发射并顺利完成飞行任务，这是我航天事业发展中的一个非常重要的里程碑，我敢肯定不久的将来，登陆月球将变成现实。
After China launched its first manned spaceship successfully, I was sure that Chinese people’s dream to land on the moon would come true soon. I was willing to put money on it.
(在中国成功发射第一艘载人航天飞船后，我相信中国人民实现登陆月球的梦想不久就将实现了。我愿意打赌。)
结束语：今天我们学习了两个片语，一个是have money to burn，这是一个夸张的说法，意思指钱多得用不完。另一个片语是put money on it，指确信某事会发生，愿意就此事打赌。
