英英释义：
An old word meaning ‘to cheat or trick someone’.
例句：

除此之外，shark ，作为名词，可以表示“坑蒙拐骗的人;诈骗者”
If you refer to a person as a shark, you disapprove of them because they trick people out of their money by giving bad advice about buying, selling, or investments.【熟词生义】

如何记忆“shark”的这个意思？有朋友和我说“鲨鱼，吸人血，钱就是人的血”（当然这夸张了，大家哪样方便哪样记忆哈~）
再补充一个很常见的短语：
loan shark 放高利贷者 【If you describe someone as a loan shark, you disapprove of them because they lend money to people and charge them very high rates of interest on the loan.】
例如：

拓展：
上面例句中的do porridge是一个短语，英文解释是：spend time in prison
不过关于“porridge”的这个意思比较少见，很多词典都没有收录，我在朗文词典上才查到这个释义。
3.egg

英英释义：
To encourage someone to do something, especially something that they do not want to do or should not do.

这里补充三个常见的关于“egg”的短语：
①puts all the eggs in one basket 寄希望于一件事上;孤注一掷 【If someone puts all their eggs in one basket, they put all their effort or resources into doing one thing so that, if it fails, they have no alternatives left.】
