我们最爱说的“小气鬼”“胆小鬼”，英文表达竟如此不同中文喜欢用「鬼」来描述一些人的特质英文的 “ghost” 却没有这样的用法那么这些小鬼要怎么用英文表达呢？爱哭鬼、胆小鬼英文怎么说？来自英语口语精华Club 00:00 06:5301爱哭鬼 a crybaby有一种人不论开心难过都会哭，像个小 baby，他就是 a crybaby。
受不了时，你可以呛：Don’t be such a crybaby!不要当个爱哭鬼好吗！美国很受欢迎的电视影集 The Big Bang Theory（中译：生活大爆炸），有一位讲话尖酸苛薄的女生，她说一位同事的孙子会被其他小孩找碴的原因是：“Nobody likes a crybaby except their mommies and Democrats.”没有人喜欢爱哭鬼，除了他们的妈妈和民主党的人。
02小气鬼 a cheapskate便宜的溜冰？是的，便宜的(cheap)溜冰(skate)就是小气鬼，其实 cheap 这个字单独当形容词用时，就可以用来批评别人小气：That guy is cheap.那家伙很小气。
据说电影 Million Dollar Baby （中译：登峰造极）的女主角 Hilary Swank 因为从小成长环境比较刻苦，所以相当节省，他是位：a coupon clipper and discount shopper专门剪折价券和并只买打折商品的人其实节省(economical/thrifty)应该算是很好的特质吧！只要不要对自己很大方，却对别人很小气~~~03讨厌鬼 He/She is a pain in the neck/ass你有脖子或屁股酸痛的经验吗？（怎么感觉像在卖药……）脖子或屁股酸痛不是极度痛苦，但却难受地让你有点抓狂、坐立难安！讨厌鬼也让你有这种感觉吧！neck ：脖子ass：屁股pain：苦痛一个人是你脖子或屁股里的痛，就是讨厌鬼的意思。

1. He is a very stingy person. 他是个很小气的人。
Stingy在这里就是指“吝啬的。
小气的”，例如：He was reputed stingy.（他吝啬得出了名。
）
Don't be so stingy with the sugar.（别那么舍不得放糖。
）
2. What a miser! 真是个吝啬鬼！
Miser做名词，意思是“守财奴，吝啬鬼”。
听说Jenny最近要结婚了，Bless her from marrying a miser.（上天保佑她不要嫁给一个吝啬鬼。
）3. He's not a generous person. 他不是个慷慨的人。
Generous常用来表示“慷慨的”，He is generous with his money.（他花钱大方。
）；而且，He is generous to the poor.（他对穷人很慷慨。
）4. She's such a penny pincher. 她真是个守财奴。
顾名思义，penny-pincher就是那些连一分钱都要捏在手里不放的人。
You know, with the national debt getting so big, maybe we ought to elect some penny-pinchers to the Congress next time.（你知道，现在我们国家的预算赤字越来越大，也许我们应该下次选举那些花钱很紧的人去做议员）。
5. He's such a tightwad. 他真是个小气鬼。
要想让tightwad多掏些钱，可真不容易。
Oh, no, my dad is driving me bonkers. He is such a tightwad!（噢，我老爸快把我逼疯了，他太小气了！）
6. Money means everything to her. 她视钱如命。
如果money means everything to her，那在她眼里，也就没有什么更重要了，但是，Money isn't everything.（钱不是万能的。
）
类似的说法还有：This news means everything to us.（这条消息对我们来说至关重要。
）
7. He's very tightfisted. 他很吝啬。
怎么样，tightfisted这种说法够形象吧。
但有些时候，tight-fisted是因为人们“手头紧”，例如：As a result, the US consumers will remain tight fisted if the price stays on the same level.（因此，假如价格没有变化的话，美国消费者的手头还会很紧。
）
8. Her boss is a skinflint. 她老板是个一毛不拔的人。
如果你的老板是个skinflint（铁公鸡），你该怎么对付他呢？
9. She never wants to splash the cash. 她出手从不大方。
当然了，splash the cash（花钱大手大脚）也不是好习惯。
我们再来举个例子看看splash在这里的用法：
Do not splash the news about.（不要四处散布这条新闻。
）
10. He's a real scrooge. 他是个不折不扣的守财奴。
我们还可以说：His middle name's scrooge.（他是出名的守财奴。
），要是天天和这样一位scrooge（小气财神）打交道，可真让人闹心啊。
