廣東話我有錢一般意思係我手頭鬆動，所以不應說 I am rich (我很富有)，應說 I am well-off 較為貼切。Rich 意思是富有，通常指外人可以看見的，譬如俗語話住洋樓，養番狗，揸靚車。還有 Wealthy 意思是很有銀，資產豐厚，但外人可能看不見 (和 rich 有小分別)。Affluent = 收入富裕，小康。Well-off, well-heeled = 手頭鬆動，生活富裕 (但不一定是很富有)。Filthy rich, Stinking rich = 富得漏油，或一身銅臭味。I am loaded, I am rolling in cash = 我很叠水。Financially comfortable = 財政安穩，衣食無憂。
Hey, I've just donated $10 millions to charity. I don't have kids and other dependencies; and I am rich. Not a big deal for me. After my wife divorced me, she left me with a 2007 junk car and a small condo which is not paid off. I am poor; you should pay for my meal this time. Nothing wrong with saying it as it is. The words "rich" are "poor" are in the dictionary. Use them. Mostly people who don't really understand English think they should teach others how to speak. Try reading Hemingway and Steinbeck.

For the benefit of other viewers, 我將你第二舉例譯中文: 我同老婆分手，她留下給我一架爛車和一間未還清的小寓所，我現時很窮(I am poor), 所以今餐要你請。你言下之意是無論任何情况(真窮，開玩笑，撒謊)説 l am poor 都沒有錯。所以請別再教人如何説 I am poor。 話雖如此，但Melody的視頻目標是教基本英語而不是教花言巧語(Rhetoric)。如果各位想要學高級英語，請去上學。
I lived in Toronto for twenty years, including studying. When I was working, I was the only Hong Konger and I spoke English day and night. I don't know where you learned English, what's the problem with I am poor, even I am broke, or you go first (another video). On the contrary, I rarely hear the English you teach. 等於廣東話，你同朋友講，我很窮，我就嚟破產，又有什麼問題
You speak English well as you have been living in Toronto for 20 years. I came to Toronto in 2006, now living in Toronto for 18 years. Unfortunately my English is not improved. I am retired and I don't need to speak or write English in my daily activities. So sad. However, I can still speak and understand German very well. I am a Chinese from Hong Kong. Ich bin arm (I am poor).
Actually, English expression links to local common usage as well colloquial expression. UK English is different from USA and Canada.. so, this practice from the video does not really apply to all over places
我很窮意思通常係我無錢，所以應該說 I am broke。Poor = 貧窮。Poverty-stricken = 窮困潦倒。Strapped for cash, short of money，tight on money = 手頭緊，冇水 (不一定是貧窮)。Broke, penniless = 窮到燶。
Poor (貧窮) 和 broke (冇錢)有很大分別，poor係因為長期失業或低入息所以生活貪困冇錢。Broke冇錢只是財政狀况有問題，譬如因爲揮霍無度，賭博以至入不敷支而冇錢。Poor people are always broke, but people who are broke may not be poor people.
@@danielyang4707 廣東話我很窮係有雙重意義，1. I am poor (貧困) 2. I am broke (冇錢). 不諳英語的香港人經常見字譯字，所以往往將我冇錢說成 l am poor, 這是辭不達意。Melody never said "I am poor" is wrong English.
Are you sure it can’t be said like that in English? Don’t mislead others. Are you sure people don’t say it like this in everyday English conversations? I’ve lived in North America for 20 years. The locals all say it like this. Don’t try to be too unconventional.

我很窮意思通常係我無錢，所以應該說 I am broke。Poor = 貧窮。Poverty-stricken = 窮困潦倒。Strapped for cash, short of money，tight on money = 手頭緊，冇水 (不一定是貧窮)。Broke, penniless = 窮到燶。
I am broke = I completely run out of money =/= i am poor

I'm rich. Okay to expess this way. I'm comfortable to what? That is based the course of conversation.
Wealthy and well off can replace "rich"
Good 👍 sharing !
美国前总统演讲时就说：I'm rich, and very rich. 前几个月的事情，可以查证的。
Trump uses simple words, simple sentences, he is not sophisticated, not well learned, though he graduated from ivy
Melody小姐好，That's rich 意思係諷刺某人雙重標準，有口話人，冇口話自己。
I’m rich I’m poor 無問題喎🤔 其實同外國人對話有時都會用到，所以又無話係錯定啱喎
thank you 😂very much for your videos 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Most welcome 😊
现在的年轻人说话都很夸张，我听到的最多的就是 I am broke today. 汉语说出来不好想，我今天破产了。第二天她又活灵活现地出现了，大把花冤枉钱 I am rich today.
e.g.
Uncle Ho was rich. Few months ago, he left his family.
Now he is not so rich.
蝙蝠俠响電影對話中有講過 I am rich! 好有說服力，我信佢，I am rich😅😅
ur videos are as great as ur style!keep up the amazing work!
Glad you like them!
My financial situation are below average😅難道要說成這樣？如聽方沒有足夠的耐性，我怕他會直接講You are Poor 👌🏽❓😂
主持人，超级靓女。很少看到有咁靓的， amazing beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!
Batman 先可以講 I'm Rich
Mr Wayne what is your super hero ability? I am rich.
😂😂
Trump also said : I'm really rich.
看來只有超級富豪才可以說：I'm Rich
澳洲這裏西人地道英語形容窮可以講 flat broke.

Barry/Flash: what’s your superpower?

In Uk, it’s common to say somebody is rich
It’s okay to use the word “rich” to describe a person, but it could mean something else if you say “that’s rich”
喺英國用rich, 冇問題，常用，直接了當形容有錢。
英國人講嘢都比較婉轉，所以經常用 well off.
英语只你用来沟通基本方法，跟普通人讲i m rich 就OK，除非英语专业或英殖地区，不然好多鬼佬都唔知你讲乜，简单直接最实用
想問下老師有沒有一些寫作課程合適中二生呢? 謝謝
請問 I am broke 是否解破產？
“I’m broke” it can be referred to as financial difficulty or simply lack of money to support your living.
@@GOJMNY Thank you😀
I am broke 解我身無一文。破產是 I am bankrupt.
@@dannywong8727 thank you
I’m dirt poor. I’m skint, I’m broke. I’m rich as fuck. I’m dead rich. I’m filthy rich & blah blah blah for spoken English only
❤❤❤
冇錢最常用的說法是 I 'm skint
感謝補充～
Skint 是英國俚語(slang)，其他海外地方不常用。
英國口語， broke 亦都常用
好鍾意你 transfers English to Cantonese ❤❤❤
Batman 自己都講 I'm rich
Im very rich
Rich people in North America would usually say that "I'm comfortable" as rich.
Yep that’s right!
根據民調，75%美國人認為須要有至少$500,000才算comfortable(財政安穩)。但富有(wealthy)須要至少$2,500,000。
He is rich or I am poor 都经常听人这样表达，并没有什么不妥之处，请不要捉字虱请了。妳的英语口语让人听不太清楚。
