这句话出自：《理智与情感》第二章 第4节
"I believe you are right, my love; it will be better that there should by no annuity in the case; whatever I may give them occasionally will be of far greater assistance than a yearly allowance, because they would only enlarge their style of living if they felt sure of a larger income,
and would not be sixpence the richer for it at the end of the year。
It will certainly be much the best way. A present of fifty pounds, now and then, will prevent their ever being distressed for money, and will, I think, be amplydischarging my promise to my father. "
整段话意思是：
“亲爱的，我看你说得对，这事还是不搞年金为好。偶尔给她们几个钱，比给年金有益得多，因为钱给多了，她们只会变得大手大脚，到了年底.一个小钱也多不出来。这是个最好不过的办法。不定时地送她们五十镑，这样她们什么时候也不会缺钱用，我还能充分履行我对父亲的诺言。”
这里的 sixpence 意思是“一个小钱”的意思 ，整句话通俗意思是指:一点点钱都没有留下的意思。追问谢谢，sixpence the richer总感觉怪怪的，richer是形容词，在这里是起修饰sixpence的作用么？如果不是，是什么用法
