中英文稿：
Hello and welcome to The English We Speak with me Neil...
大家好，歡迎收聽地道英語，我是尼爾…

...and me, Feifei. In this programme, we’ve got an expression which means ’to be very rich’.
我是菲菲。在這期節目裡，我們要學一個表達方式，意思是“非常有錢”。

And, as usual, in order to demonstrate the meaning of something, I’m going to make a fool of myself. Now, Feifei, please describe what I’m doing.
像往常一樣，為了解釋短語的意思，我會讓自己出醜。菲菲，請描述一下我現在在做什麼。

OK, so now Neil is rolling around on the floor covered in... money.
好的，現在尼爾正在鋪著…錢的地板上滾來滾去。

So, Feifei, how much money does someone need to roll in it?
那麼菲菲，要想在裡面滾來滾去的話，一個人需要多少錢呢？

Lots!
許多！

And so we have an expression in English - ’to be rolling in it’. It means to be extremely rich.
所以英文中就有了一個表達方式——“財源滾滾”。就是極其有錢的意思。

That’s right. Imagine a person has so much money they can literally roll around in it and you can understand this expression. Now get up Neil.
對。想像一下，一個人有很多錢，他們簡直可以在裡面滾來滾去，這樣你就能理解這個表達方式的意思了。現在起來吧尼爾。

OK. Let’s hear some examples.
好的。讓我們聽幾個例子吧。

Carlos is always moaning about lack of money but his parents are rolling in it, so he should just ask them for some.
卡洛斯總是抱怨缺錢，但是他的父母非常富有，所以他應該直接問他們要一些錢。

Since tuition fees have been introduced, you need to be rolling in it to afford university.
自從學費被引入之後，你要很有錢才能上得起大學。

My neighbours must be rolling in it - they’re having a swimming pool and tennis court built in their garden.
我鄰居一定很有錢，他們正在花園裡修建游泳池和網球場。

So, there we are - we say someone is ’rolling in it’ if they’re very rich.
好了，如果某人特別有錢的話我們就說他“財源滾滾”。

I’d love to be rolling in it.
我非常樂意很有錢啊。

OK then -come and join me!
好的，那麼，過來加入我吧！

No, I mean that I’d like to be rich - but that does look quite fun actually... woah!
不，我是說我想要很有錢，不過滾來滾去看上去確實很有趣呀…哇哦！
