"唯利是图"用英语怎么说?
“唯利是图”,汉语成语,意思是“只贪图利益,不顾及其他(seek nothing but profits;care only for money)”, 唯表示“只(only)”, 图是“图谋(plot; conspire)”,含贬义。与英语俗语“on the make”意思相近,表示“Seeking wealth, success, or an improved social status, often ruthlessly or in a self-serving manner”。
例句:
他这个人一贯都是唯利是图, 我从来不知道他有什么无私的行动。
He's always on the make; I have never known him do a disinterested action.
He's on the make everywhere and cultivates all the Chicago hotshots.
