第一、Catch
You're giving me half a million?! What's the catch?分我五十万!The catch?
A catch is any tricky or concealed drawback to a deal.
a catch是指某件好事的附带条件。
For example, when you go on a web site, and they tell you you have a chance to win a laptop, there's usually a catch.
例如:某些网站如果说你有机会赢一台手提电脑,通常都要回答问卷,订阅周刊等等好多好多条件,所以这些条件就是a catch。
There is no catch.没有别的企图
Everything that sounds too good has a catch to it.天下没有白吃的午餐。
第二、Grand
One grand is equivalent to one thousand dollars.
one grand是一千块钱的意思。
五千块要说five grand, 因为grand代替了thousand dollars这两个词。但为什么是说five grand而不是 five grands呢?
因为grand已经是复数了, 所以要说five grand而不是five grands。
