如何表达：我手头有点紧

首先给大家介绍一个词：redundant, 它是个形容词，意思是：因人员过剩而被解雇的；不需要的; 多余的

Our plant just closed down and made a bunch of us redundant. 我们工厂刚关闭了，大部分人都失去了工作。

These equipments are redundant, put them away. 这些设备是多余的，把它们放一边吧。

      那么，redundant的名词形式是：redundance/redundancy, 过多，过剩。

Redundancy among clerks is caused by the increasing use of computers. 因计算机的使用日渐增加，造成了职员的过剩。

      听众Amy来信询问如何形容男生长得不错，我们可以用“decent looking”来形容：

He's a decent looking guy but he's really shy around girls for some reason.

他长得不错，但不知为什么，他在女孩面前会特别害羞。

The guy I'm seeing these days is really decent looking. 最近我约会的那个男人长得很好看。

Do you think you're a decent looking guy? 你觉得你是个相貌不错的男人吗？

      下面，我们来介绍这个手头有点紧的用法：Be strapped for cash，strap是用皮带捆扎的意思，在这里是个动词，被动语态，cash是现金的意思，现金被抽紧了，那意思就是手头有点紧，缺钱。

I'm strapped for cash recently since I'm investing most of my money into the stock market. 我最近手头有点紧，因为我把大部分钱投到股市上去了。

Are you strapped for cash; you’re not going out these days. 你手头有点紧吗？这些天都不见你出门。

I’m afraid you'll be strapped for cash soon if you're spending money like there's no tomorrow.  你再像这样大笔花钱，很快手头就会紧张起来。
