Lollies
“Lollies” 是 lolly 的复数形式，主要有以下含义：① 棒棒糖（英式/澳式）；② 糖果、甜食的统称（英式/澳式）；③ 钱（澳式俚语）；④ 块状物。在英联邦国家，“lollies” 常泛指糖果，美式英语中更常用 candy 或 lollipop。
- “The children filled their bags with lollies from the party table.” (孩子们从派对桌上装了一袋子糖果。)
- “She bought a bag of lollies for the long car journey.” (她买了一袋糖果以备长途车程。)
- “He made a fortune—he’s rolling in lollies now.” (他发了财——现在钱多得数不清。澳式俚语)
lolly 可能源自 lollipop 的截短，或与 loll（懒洋洋地倚靠）相关——吃糖时舌头”懒洋洋”地舔。lollipop 来自 lolly（舌头）+ pop（流行、棒），原指棒棒糖。lollies 作”钱”解为澳式俚语，可能与”甜头""好处”的隐喻有关。
