“Not to have a bean” có bean là tiền đồng -> cụm từ này nghĩa là không một xu dính túi, rất nghèo.
Ví dụ
IT is difficult not to be sympathetic (đồng cảm) to Karla Elliott's plight (hoàn cảnh khó khăn). Her reputation (danh tiếng) is on the line, her life in tatters. She doesn't have a bean to her name. She is on the dole (sống nhờ vào sự bố thí, tiền trợ cấp thất nghiệp) in a rented house.
“Favelas bulldozed (dọa dẫm), people displaced, all for the Olympic Games? And what’s going to happen after? They don’t have a bean and venues (nơi gặp gỡ) were built that will serve no use afterwards . . . you can understand the anger from the locals’ point of view. That’s why all the venues were empty, there was no atmosphere at anything.”
"These kids don't have a bean, they have nothing, it is a flipping ordeal (sự thử thách, thử tội) for them to get there," says Duncan. Once viewed as an archetypical (nguyên mẫu, nguyên hình) working-class sport this is no longer the case, according to Eric Donovan. "It is a disadvantaged sport." Until the Covid-19 lockdown Daina Moorehouse worked part-time in the kitchen of a hotel in Enniskerry.
