When I got my tax refund, I earmarked part of it for savings and part for a vacation - I set it aside for specific purposes. Earmarking money helps me budget because I know exactly what each dollar is for. In politics, earmarks are when money is set aside for specific projects, which can be good or bad depending on the project.

当我收到我的退税时,我为储蓄和假期预留了部分——我为特定目的留出它。标记资金帮助我预算,因为我知道每一美元是用于什么的。在政治中,标记是当资金为特定项目留出时,这可能是好的或坏的,取决于项目。
