People can be liberal with their money, cash, criticism or advice, often in a way that other people do not approve of. People are more likely to be generous with their time or help, and this is sth that other people do approve of. If sb is generous with their money, you can just say that they are generous (without stating 'with their money'). 表达此义时，liberal仅用于liberal with sth或liberal amounts of sth句式。liberal可与money、cash、criticism或advice搭配，常带贬义。generous较常与time或help搭配，常表示褒义。形容人在金钱方面慷慨大方，可以只说be generous（后面不接with their money）。■ ˈfree with sth
