make ends meet

使收支平衡

例句：

I wouldn't be able to make ends meet.

我没有办法两头兼顾。

But we know it takes two paychecks to make ends meet today, when it used to take one.

但是我们知道今天花了两张付薪水的支票来收支相抵，就在惯常的花掉一张的时候。

What you say can't be more true.Everything is so expensive. I can hardly make ends meet myself.

你说的对极了。现在东西都贵极了。我几乎是入不敷出。
