strapped [stræpt] 這個字是 strap 的過去分詞
雖然它有「捆綁」的意思
可是當我們說一個人 be strapped 並不是說他被綁住
而是他缺錢、「手頭緊」的意思
後面也可接「 for + 物」來表示缺什麼
比如strapped for cash, strapped for funds
所以 I am a little strapped. 就是「我現在有點缺錢」的意思
我們來造些句：

I ’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
