Meaning: Having plenty of money available, especially temporarily.

（尤指暂时性地）手头很宽裕，有大把现金可花。

Tener mucho dinero disponible, especialmente de forma temporal.

（特に一時的に）お金がたっぷりあること。懐が温かいこと。

(특히 일시적으로) 돈이 넉넉한 상태. 주머니가 두둑한 것.

Being 'flush' means having an abundance of money right now — not necessarily being wealthy long-term. It's often temporary: flush after payday, flush after a bonus, flush after winning a bet. The opposite of being broke.

'Flush'的意思是眼下手头有大把钱——但不一定是长期富有。通常是暂时性的：发了工资手头松、拿了奖金手头松、赌赢了手头松。是'broke（没钱）'的反义词。

Estar 'flush' significa tener dinero de sobra en este momento, no necesariamente ser rico a largo plazo. Suele ser algo temporal: forrado después del día de cobro, forrado después de un bonus, forrado después de ganar una apuesta. Es lo contrario de estar sin blanca.

「flush」は今現在お金がたくさんあるという意味——長期的に裕福というわけではない。一時的なものであることが多い：給料日の後、ボーナスの後、賭けに勝った後など。「broke（金欠）」の反対。

'flush'하다는 것은 지금 당장 돈이 넉넉하다는 뜻이지, 장기적으로 부유하다는 의미는 아니다. 보통 일시적인 상태를 가리킨다: 월급 받은 직후, 보너스를 받은 직후, 내기에서 딴 직후 등. 'broke'(빈털터리)의 반대말이다.
