聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 1089 Squeeze Blood out of a Turnip

 
2--Vegetables don't have any blood in them... And who is squeezing turnips?
 
1--Let's see if we can figure out what it means...
 
2--Hey, Can you loan me $50.00, I can pay you back on Friday.
 
1--I wish I could help, but I don't have any money....
 
2--Are you sure? I really need it.
 
1--I understand, but you can't squeeze blood out of turnip.
 
2--You can't squeeze blood from a turnip means you cannot get something from a person that they don't have to give you.
 
1--And it's used about money.
 
2--You see, it actually makes sense, because no matter how hard you squeeze a turnip, it will never bleed.
 
1--and if somebody does not have any money to give you, you'll never be able to get it.
