“咳，我是真的很想帮你，可我最近周转不灵。”

【句子】Look, I’d love to help you out, but I’m not very liquid right now. 【Modern Family S03E05】 【发音】/lʊk/ /aɪd/ /lʌv/ /tʊ/ /help/ /juː/ /aʊt/ /bʌt/ /aɪm/ /nɒt/ /nɑːt/ /ˈver.i/ /ˈlɪk.wɪd/ /raɪt/ /naʊ/【发音技巧】I’d love不完全爆破；but I’m连读+闪音；not very不完全爆破；right now不完全爆破；【翻译】咳，我是真的很想帮你，可我最近周转不灵。【适用场合】今天我们来学习一个很有意思的单词liquid。在讲解liquid之前，先复习一下，今天关键句中出现的help sb. out已经不是第一次见，也不是第一次讲了。help sb. out 就指的是help sb. 帮助某个人脱离困境；分担某个人的压力/负担；复习一个例句eg: I helped her out when Stella became ill.Stella生病时我分担了她的工作。Stella生病时我帮助了她。好，复习完了，那么下面重头戏来了，为啥liquid在今天句子里是这样的意思呢？大家都知道liquid是adj.“液体，液态的”的意思，但在这里Luke却用liquid来形容他的经济状况。其实liquid是可以用来表示“资产的流动性好的，容易变现的”：easily changed into money by being sold or exchanged或者consisting of or capable of ready conversion into casheg: liquid assets流动资产；流动性资产；而与之对应，视频中还出现了一个frozen assets叫做“被冻结的资产” 这种就无法变现了。eg: She has very few liquid assets as most of her wealth is tied up in stocks and shares.她的流动资产很少，因为她的大部分钱都被套牢在股市里了。eg: The bank had sufficient liquid assets to continue operations.这家银行当时流动资产充足，可以用以继续运营。eg: Their shares are more liquid than those of many smaller companies.他们公司的股票比许多较小公司的股票更容易变现。eg: The Regulators also want them to hold more "high quality" liquid assets.监管机构还要求它们持有更多“高质量”的流动性资产。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】This is a highly liquid form of investment.
