36. I really can't afford any more interruptions right now.

点睛

afford本义为“给予；买得起”，引申开来可以表示“承受”，如本句中的cannot afford就相当于“不能承受”。

考点归纳

afford的用法十分灵活。如：
I can't afford to play game with you, sorry. 抱歉，我跟你玩不起。
Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school (＝can't afford education). 这个村子里的很多小孩都上不起学。
I'm too busy to afford an hour for lunch. 我太忙了，抽不出一个小时吃午饭。
