单词 | free lunch |
释义 | free lunch Economists' jargon for a nonexistent benefit. It derives from a 19th century tavern that advertised free food, it being clearly understood that anyone attempting to exploit this offer without buying a drink would be thrown out. The phrase is now used to reflect the economist's belief that wherever there appears to be a free benefit, someone, somewhere, always pays for it. |
