Well off, better off:

 

well-off

 

این کلمه به طور کل به پول و مسایل مالی دلالت می کند. از این کلمه وقتی برای کسی استفاده می کنیم که نه ثروتمند بلکه دارای توان مالی تا اندازه ای باشد که مثلا دارای یک خا نه و یک ماشین باشد(نه ثروتمند و نه فقیر).

 

Well-off relates mainly to money matters. If you are well-off, you may not be rich exactly, but you have enough money to live well and comfortably:

However, if you say you are well-off for something, this means that there are many of them:

To be better-off, as you suggest, Mariano, also has another meaning of being in a better situation and is used mainly in conditional patterns as follows:

 

If you’ve got heavy bags to carry, you’d be better-off taking a taxi.

It says on the sign that the motorway ahead is blocked. You’ll be better-off if you leave the motorway at this junction which is coming up now.

 

 

the better-off

 

این کلمه را برای مقایسه کردن گروه مردم استفاده می کنیم.

 

The better-off is sometimes used as a noun to describe a category of people, cf the rich / the poor:

 

The rich and the poor live side-by-side in this part of town.

The better-off should pay a higher rate of income tax, while those who are worst-off should pay no tax at all.

MELT and THAW

We also have the phrasal verbs melt away and melt (away) into meaning to disappear:

کلمهmelt awayرا با کلمهmeltاشتباه نگیرید که به معنای نا پدید شدن می باشد.

At first they were enemies, but over time their differences melted away.

The shoplifters just melted (away) into the Oxford Street crowds of Christmas shoppers.

When something thaws it warms up slowly and changes gradually from a frozen state to a temperature above freezing point:

وقتی از کلمه thaw استفاده میکنیم که چیزی جامد یواش یواش به مایع تبدیل شود (نه بر اثر گرمایی که ما به  جسم جامد می دهیم).

The snow was thawing and the streets had become slushy.

We also have the phrasal verb thaw out, which we use when referring to frozen food or if we have just come inside from very cold weather:
