不过,俚语中,cough (sth) up 还有另一种意思,勉强给予(钱或信息),英文释义为:to produce money or information unwillingly。

最常用的情况就是让某人掏钱时会说 cough it up.

举个例子:

I've just had to cough up £40 for a parking fine.

我只得掏出40英镑交停车罚款。

当然也有 cough sth out 或 cough out sth 这种说法,也有“把...咳出来”的意思,所以“把肺都咳出来”还可以说成 cough one's lungs out。

不过 cough out sth 还有另一种意思是 to say something while coughing,一边咳一边说话。
