例句1:
"If you ask me, some oil companies are really making hay out of the Gulf crisis. They keep raising the price of a gallon of gas, even though the experts say there's enough gas to go around if people don't get greedy."

這個人說:“要是你問我啊，我告訴你，有些石油公司乘著海灣危機而大發其財。他們不斷抬高每加倫汽油的價錢，盡管那些專家們說，只要人們不太貪心，汽油供應是足夠的。”

我們再給大家舉一個 to may hay的例子。這是一個人認為一個新的電腦公司的股票會使他賺很多錢，他正在勸他的朋友買這個股票。

例句2:
"I tell you, the smart thing is to buy as much stock as you can afford. You want to make hay before everybody hears about it and the stock doubles in price."

他說：“我告訴你，盡你的能力買，這是聰明的做法。你要在別人還沒有聽說這個股票之前就賺一大筆錢。等到人家都知道了,股票的價格就會加倍。”
