双十一购物节（Singles Day shopping carnival）将至，不少网友已经摩拳擦掌，准备血拼一场。不过剁手党（shopaholic; big spender）在买买买的同时也要注意节制，以免“入不敷出”，下月吃土（tighten one’s belt; be skint/penniless）。

“入不敷出”，汉语成语，意思是指收入不够开支，形容非常贫穷。可以翻译为“run behind one's expenses，live beyond one's salary，spend more than one earns。”

例句：

他几乎是入不敷出。

The payments he gets barely cover his expenses.

很显然，如果你现在花钱就入不敷出，以后就不得不吃土了。

Clearly, if you are spending more than your income, you'll need to tighten your belt.
