你有没有遇到过比较挑三拣四的人呢？可能别人送的礼物自己并不喜欢，总会挑挑毛病，这可能不是个好习惯，所以就用到今天的习语啦，我们听听Joy and Chris是怎么解释的！

C: Hi guys. I’m Chris.
 
J: And I’m Joy. The idiom we are learning today is: Beggars can’t be choosers. It means that people can’t complain about something they get for free. You can usually use it when you must accept what is given to you, especially when you have no other choice.
 
C: Sometimes you might see beggars on the street. A lot of them go around begging for money. One time while I was back in America, I had just finished dinner with my friends in Chicago and I met a beggar on my way back to my hotel. He begged me for some change. It was really funny because I happened to have no more US cash but only some Chinese Renminbi. So I gave him 10RMB. He asked me if he can use it. I told him that he can go to the bank and exchange it into dollars.
 
J: Wow. That’s hilarious. So did he take the money?
 
C: Yeah. He took it and walked away. I’m guessing he would’ve preferred US dollars but since he was the one begging for money. He had no other choice but to take it.
 
J: Well, beggars can’t be choosers right?
 
C: Yup. We can also use this idiom for receiving gifts or getting job or school offers. Let’s look at an example of it:

 

J: Hey Jacob. How’s the apartment hunting going?
 
C: Yeah well so far I found one about 15min away from my work. I would have preferred a place of my own rather than sharing with someone else, but beggars can't be choosers, I suppose.
 

 
 
J: Have you ever gotten anything for free and it wasn’t good enough. Well beggars can’t be choosers.
 
C: Yeah, that sounds about right. Alright guys. If you like our channel, feel free to share it with people you know! Talk to you next time! Bye!
