迷你对话

B: It is very normal. He spends his money like he is playing duck and drake.
这很正常，他花钱挥霍无度。
地道表达
play duck and drake
1. 解词释义
Duck和drake都是鸭子。Play duck and drake原来是指一种游戏：在河边捡起小石子把它们一个个扔到水面上，看是否能激起水漂，这样做就会惊起河里的鸭子们。而游戏玩得高兴就难以罢手，直到河边的小石头扔得差不多了才停下来，所以现在用这个短语来形容一个人花钱像扔石头随意和无节制，即为挥霍无度的意思。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. The little boy spends his money like his playing duck and drake. His parents spoilt him by giving him too much pocket money
那小男孩挥霍无度，父母给他太多零用钱，把他宠坏了。
e.g. I learned later, he wrote to his father on the subject that I spend my money like I am playing duck and drake.
我后来听说，他给他父亲写信说我挥霍无度。
e.g. He spends his money like he is playing duck and drake, which is why he is always in debt.
