小贴士
out of pocket
out of pocket最常见的意思是“赔钱、白白损失”（having suffered a financial loss）。如果用连字符将out of pocket这三个单词连起来，就成了一个形容词out-ofpocket，最基本的意思是“没钱了”（having no money）。out-of-pocket expenses 则是指一些需要事先用现金支付的，事后可以报销的开销，比如出差时的交通费、食宿费等等。但近来out of pocket成了网上的一个通俗用语，越来越多的网民用somebody is out of pocket来表达“某人现在不在这儿”。那么“赔钱”和“缺席”有什么关系呢？如果你不在办公室（out of office），没有及时被分配任务，那你就失去了赚钱的机会（out of pocket）。如果你不在办公室而在外出差，那么你就经常会有一些out-of-pocket expenses。
例如：
i#039m out of pocket these days.
这段时间我不在。
