用法与细微差别
This is a slightly old-fashioned and informal phrase, mostly used in British English. Commonly used as 'put money by for a rainy day'. Don't confuse with 'put aside' (very similar, but more broadly used for all types of things). Rarely used for objects other than money unless context is clear.
