名词 n.
  1. An electricity bill. US,dated
    — People who have been connected to utility electric lines have used them almost entirely for lights, because of the expense. […] But now with plenty of power, calling their monthly statement a light bill is, I believe, wrong psychology. Too many come in and remark about the amount of their light bill even though they may use 50 to 100 kilowatt-hours.
