Bilk
Bilk 是一个非正式但很有力的动词。它通常指通过不正当手段骗取他人的金钱或应得的利益。
- They bilked investors out of millions of dollars. (他们从投资者手中诈骗了数百万美元。)
- The taxi driver tried to bilk the tourists by overcharging them. (出租车司机试图通过超额收费来诈骗游客。)
- He managed to bilk his creditors and flee the country. (他成功避开了债权人并逃离了该国。)
记：Bilk。联想 milk (牛奶)。Bilk 就像是从别人身上“挤奶”一样骗取钱财。或者记：Bill (账单) + k (kill)。把账单“杀掉”，就是逃债或诈骗。
The con artist spent years bilking elderly people before he was finally caught. (这位骗子在最终被捕前，诈骗老年人长达数年。)
