Fork Over (hand over, give) 

归还，付出

--Hey, Dan. How come you’re looking so sad?

--It’s nothing, really. I unexpectedly bumped into Ralph and he asked me to fork over the ten bucks I owed him.

--Did he expect you to pay him back right then and there?

--Yes, he did. It was all the money I had, and I had to hand it over to him.

--Don’t complain. After all, he did you a favor by lending it to you in the first place.

--嘿，丹。你怎么看上去很不开心呀？

--没什么，真的。我无意中碰到了拉尔夫，他让我把欠他的十元钱还给他。

--他让你当场就还钱了吗？

--是呀。我身上只有那么多钱，不得不给他了。

--别再抱怨了。毕竟他一开始还是帮了你一个忙，把钱借给你了。
