深度学习
squander (SKWAN der) If you spend extravagantly, you’re squandering money. If you don’t take an interesting summer internship, you’re squan-dering a chance to pick up new skills. Either way, this verb expresses the idea of “wasting.” The root word, thus far, baffles linguists.
•Although Shakespeare’s Polonius doesn’t use the word, he counsels his son against squandering when he says, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend.”
•Mr. Fleetwood, my neighbor, was given to quoting the Roman poet Horace, who orders us to “seize the day” and further urging his son and me not to squander our youth. “It will pass quickly enough anyway,” he’d add, knowingly.

挥霍（SKWAN der）如果你挥霍无度，你就是在挥霍金钱。如果你不参加一个有趣的暑期实习，你就有机会学习新技能。不管怎样，这个动词都表达了“浪费”的意思。到目前为止，词根词让语言学家感到困惑。
•尽管莎士比亚笔下的波洛尼乌斯没有使用这个词，但他建议儿子不要挥霍，因为他说：“无论是借款人还是贷款人，贷款往往会失去自己和朋友。”
•先生。我的邻居弗利特伍德经常引用罗马诗人霍勒斯的话，他命令我们“抓紧时间”，并进一步敦促我和他的儿子不要浪费我们的青春。“无论如何，它会很快过去的，”他会意地补充道。
