(单词翻译:单击)

   Jeff:  Hey Beren, are you good at saving1…saving money(省钱), or do you blow through(花光,花完) your paychecks generally.

  Beren:  I guess it depends, like if I have to, you know, save money for something special, I’m pretty good at, you know, putting it away, making sure I take a little out of each paycheck. But generally, I’m not a big…I don’t think about the future in terms of money, which is kind of bad. I’m kind of living in the moment. So like, “Ah, I want this new instrument or some records”...I don’t know, I blow through a lot of money.
  Jeff:  Yeah I think I’m in the same boat(我和你是同一类人). I try to live pretty conservative2. Under $5.00 a day is my goal. But I can’t say I make that all the time.
  Beren:  That is super…under $5.00, that’s impressive3. I mean do you have a nest egg(养老金,用于某种用途的钱) you’re working on or are you just saving for…
  Jeff:  Not really.
  Beren:  You just like to save money, or you’re just hoarding(囤积,存钱)?
  Jeff:  Trying to pay the bills, and maybe go out to eat every now and again. I think that’s what gets me.
  Beren:  Yeah, totally. I mean if I have cash in my pocket, I’ll usually spend it.
