Jessica 在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是吴琼要问的：扫货。

Jessica: Wuqiong, 明天我们去吃火锅好不好？

WQ: 火锅儿？好吃! 可...我没钱.

Jessica: No money? You told me you got a scholarship!

WQ: 奖学金是拿了，可我一高兴就拿去扫货啦!

Jessica: 扫货？

WQ: 就是 buy a lot of things!

Jessica: Oh! You went on a shopping spree!

WQ: shopping spree?

Jessica: Right! Spree is spelt s-p-r-e-e. Going on a shopping spree means you spend a lot of money during a single shopping trip. 头脑发热，看什么都买。

WQ: 对! I went on a shopping spree after getting my scholarship money! 我那天疯狂扫货，一分钱都没留下!

Jessica: But do you really need all the things you bought on the shopping spree?

WQ: 说实话，好多东西都用不着，可我当时就是那么烧包！烧包你懂么？就是看着手里的钱难受，非把它花出去!

Jessica: Haha! Actually, in English, we have a similar expression--your money was burning a hole in your pocket.

WQ: My money was burning a hole in my pocket? 钱把衣服兜烧了个窟窿？这的确跟“烧包”很像!

Jessica: Wuqiong, next time your money is burning a hole in your pocket, take me with you! I'll make sure we only go window shopping!

WQ: Window shopping? 买窗户？

Jessica: (Chuckle) No. Window shopping means we only look at the window displays, without really buying anything!

WQ: 哦，就是光看不买! 这个好，省钱!

Jessica: 对! Now tell me what you've learned today!

WQ: 第一，扫货叫go on a shopping spree；

第二，烧包叫money is burning a hole in one's pocket；

第三，光看不买是window shopping!

I also like to go on a shop spree after getting my salary,that's really a bad habit,well, I have many clothes to never wear on .I decide that I ever never do this thing that money is burning a hole in my pocket,when seeing the beautiful things I just do the window shopping.

Actually I don't like to go on a shopping spree even if I got much money, that's only because I don't have many things to buy. The only case that money is burning a hole in my pocket is when I visit my grandmother, I wish I could give all my money to her. She is one of the most important person in my life.
