Moneyed means rich — having money, often quite a lot of it, and often as a class of people rather than one lucky win. Writers like the moneyed classes, a moneyed family, moneyed interests: it paints a group that already has wealth, the kind that sits in nice houses and has a say.
Moneyed means richMoneyed的意思是有錢—— having money, often quite a lot of it擁有金錢,而且常常是相當多, and often as a class of people rather than one lucky win通常是形容一整個階層的人,而不是某個人一次好運。 Writers like the moneyed classes, a moneyed family, moneyed interests作者會說the moneyed classes(有錢階層)、a moneyed family(有錢的家族)、moneyed interests(有錢的利益團體): it paints a group that already has wealth這個字描繪的是一群早就擁有財富的人, the kind that sits in nice houses and has a say那種住好房子、有話語權的人。
It is a little old-fashioned and formal; in speech most people just say rich or wealthy. Though actually, it does not always mean “famous rich.” It can be quietly well-off.
It is a little old-fashioned and formal這個字有點老派、正式; in speech most people just say rich or wealthy口語裡大多數人就直接說rich或wealthy。 Though actually不過其實, it does not always mean "famous rich."它不一定是指「有名的有錢人」。 It can be quietly well-off也可能是那種低調的富裕。
It describes the state of having money, not the act of earning it (that is closer to money-making). You would not usually say “I feel moneyed today” the way you might say “I feel rich today”; it sits more naturally on families, neighbourhoods, and social groups.
