一筆錢
錢本來就是數字,一筆錢就是被收攏、被講定的那一個數,所以 sum 直接拿來指金額。
amount of money · noun · B1
An amount of money, especially a particular amount.
金額
Picture a column of numbers with a line drawn under it and one number written below — everything gathered into a single figure. That gathered-up total is the picture inside sum: many separate things pulled together and expressed as one. From there it slides to the money you count out, to the school exercise that produces the total, and to the short sentence that gathers a whole argument into one line.
