A saver is someone who puts money aside instead of spending it all, often in a bank. Banks like the word when they mean ordinary people with savings accounts. It is a quiet, money-talk word, not poetic.
A saverSaver is指的是 someone who puts money aside instead of spending it all把錢存起來、不全部花掉的人 often in a bank通常是存在銀行裡。 Banks銀行 like the word喜歡用這個字 when they mean ordinary people with savings accounts指的是有存款帳戶的一般人。 It它 is a quiet, money-talk word是個很平實、講錢的字 not poetic不是什麼詩意的用詞。
Though actually, English also glues -saver onto other words: a is a trick that saves time, a screensaver is the moving picture on a computer, a lifesaver is something — or someone — that gets you out of trouble. Those are not “a person who saves money.” This sense is the money person.
Though actually不過其實 English also glues -saver onto other words英文也會把-saver黏在別的字後面 a time-saver time-saver is a trick that saves time是能省時間的小訣竅 a screensaverscreensaver is the moving picture on a computer是電腦上會動的那個畫面 a lifesaverlifesaver is something — or someone — that gets you out of trouble則是能把你從麻煩裡救出來的東西——或人。 Those這些 are not 「a person who saves money」都不是「存錢的人」的意思。 This sense這個詞條 is the money person講的才是那個存錢的人。
Do not mix it with saviour, who rescues you; the two look like family, and they are, but they do different jobs.
