an entirely new phase of existence——a butterfly idleness;nothing to do, nobody to be responsible to, and untroubled with financial uneasiness...San Francisco was Paradise to me. I lived at the best hotel, exhibited my clothes in the most conspicuous places, infested the opera...I spend monty with a free hand, and meantime watched the stock sales with an interested eye.
尤其是后面兩個句子，說花錢大手大腳，就是“spend money with a free hand"非常形象的表達(dá)，如果說揮金如土可以寫成 squander money like water 但是最為美麗的是后面卻用了一個interested eye 這個表達(dá)方法。
infeste the opera也是一個非常有意思的說法，infest有兩個含義，第一是：to spread or swarm in or over in a troublesome manner 比如 a slum infested with crime就是說一個犯罪成災(zāi)的貧民窟，再比如 shark-infested waters說這片水域里面鯊魚非常多。
第二個是 to live in or on as a parasite 像寄生在。。。。。上面似的。如果說某人對。。。非常上癮，就可以說infest
首句中Butterfly idleness說作者自己“清閑得如同蝴蝶一樣”這樣的修辭是我們自己創(chuàng)造不出來的。而通過閱讀，就學(xué)會了。
如果托?？谡Z考題問你閑時候都怎么度過，你就可以用到這個單詞了。你可以說：
...actually seldom do I have free time because I spend much time in working and learning. Learning is a life-long process. I learn music, language, and movie. Nevertheless, occasionally, I enjoy the butterfly idleness. It is an entirely new phase of existence. However, I am not the one who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth so I dare not to spend the money with a free hand...
