短释义：
The first time you get a paycheck, you might be tempted to go on a spending spree, buying fireworks, a rabbit costume, and a giant gumball machine. But be careful, because if you fritter away your hard-earned cash like that, you won’t have any left for important things, like food and rent. The Old English root of the word means “break into fragments,” which is what happens to someone who fritters their life away.
挥霍的人选择把精力花在浪费的事情上。你可以浪费金钱、时间或精力，但一旦“浪费”了，就无法再收回来了！

当你第一次拿到薪水时，你可能会忍不住大肆消费，购买烟花、兔子服装和巨型口香糖机。但要小心，因为如果你像这样挥霍辛苦赚来的钱，你就没有剩下任何钱来购买重要的东西，比如食物和房租。这个词的古英语词根意思是“打碎成碎片”，这就是那些挥霍生命的人所面临的情况。
文学例句：
It was like all the good and true things he’d ever done didn’t matter, and he, who he was, the legacy he’d worked so hard for, was dissolving, frittering away with every lie they told.
就好像他曾经做过的所有美好而真实的事情都无关紧要，而他，他是谁，他为之努力奋斗的遗产，正在溶解，被他们所说的每一个谎言所浪费。

词源：
fritter (v.)”whittle away, waste bit by bit, spend on trifles,” 1728, probably from noun fritter “fragment or shred” (though this is recorded later), perhaps an alteration of 16c. fitters “fragments or pieces,” which is perhaps ultimately from Old French fraiture “a breaking,” from Latin fractura [OED]. Or perhaps from a Germanic *fet-source (compare Middle High German vetze “clothes, rags,” Old English fetel “girdle”).Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
fritter (v.)“削去，一点一点地浪费，花在琐事上”，1728，可能来自名词 fritter“碎片或碎片”（尽管这是后来记录的），可能是 16c 的变形。装配工“碎片或碎片”，这可能最终源自古法语fraiture“断裂”，源自拉丁语fractura [OED]。或者可能来自日耳曼语 *fet 来源（比较中古高地德语 vetze“衣服，破布”，古英语 fetel“腰带”）。相关条目及更多
