短释义：
This adjective is from the Latin word lucrum, meaning “profit.” In Latin, lucrum also meant “greed,” a negative sense preserved in the English phrase filthy lucre, or “shameful profit or gain.” But the word lucrative doesn’t carry a similar sense of shame — if your lawn-mowing job proves lucrative over the summer, you might be able to buy yourself a used car.
使用 hurrative 来指代赚钱的业务或投资。虽然你的父母可能希望你从事一份利润丰厚的职业，但你却致力于成为一名专业哑剧演员的计划。

这个形容词源自拉丁语lucrum，意思是“利润”。在拉丁语中，lucrum 也意味着“贪婪”，这是英语短语 filthy lucre 中保留的负面含义，即“可耻的利润或收益”。但“有利可图”这个词并不带有类似的羞耻感——如果你的割草工作在夏天证明很有利可图，你也许可以给自己买一辆二手车。
