rob Peter to pay Paul

每日一詞---rob Peter to pay Paul

好的，今天來介紹一個很有趣的片語，那就是rob Peter to pay Paul。到底搶Peter的錢來付Paul是什麼意思呢？我想有些人應該已經知道了，那就是「挖東牆補西牆」。好，閒話不多說，馬上來看看例子吧！

Without a constant supply of quality nutrients, our body has to rob Peter to pay Paul. 如果沒有補充適當的營養，我們的身體就必須挖東牆補西牆(也就是從其他器官挪用能量)。

再來一句是說：They took out a second mortgage on their house so they could buy a condo in Florida--they're robbing Peter to pay Paul. 他們又抵押現住的房子籌貸款，好去買下佛羅里達的一間公寓---這樣根本是挖東牆補西牆。

當然，這個片語也可以用在政府上，所以最後一句是：The new funding scheme is apparently robbing Peter to pay Paul; it won't work. 新的籌資計畫根本是挖東牆補西牆，肯定沒有任何幫助。
