alumnus n pl. alumni
A male graduate or former student of a school, college, or university.
Usage Note: Alumnus and alumna both come from Latin and preserve Latin plurals. Alumnus is a masculine noun whose plural is alumni, and alumna is a feminine noun whose plural is alumnae. Coeducational institutions usually use alumni for graduates of both sexes. But those who object to masculine forms in such cases may prefer the phrase alumni and alumnae or the form alumnae/i, which is the choice of many women’s colleges that have begun to admit men.

“They cost money.”

“I’ll pay for it, Carl Lee! Listen to me! I’ll pay for it all. You’ll have the best lawyer and doctors money can buy, and your old pal Cat will pay the tab. Don’t worry ‘bout money!”

John Grisham, A Time to Kill, 1989

「金がかかるだろうが」

「費用ならおれに出させてくれよ、カール・リー！　おれのいうとおりにするんだ！　費用は全額おれが出す。そうすりや、おまえさんは金で買える最上の弁護士と医者をつけられるんだぞ。費用は一切合財、この旧友のキャットさまが出すといってるんだ。だから、金の心配はするんじゃない！」

ジョン・グリシャム『評決のとき（上）』，白石朗 訳，新潮文庫，pp.319-320.

In my catalogue notes I wrote: “The marriage of reason and nightmare which dominates the 1960s has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world. Across the communications landscape stride the spectres of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy. Thermonuclear weapons systems and soft-drink commercials coexist in an uneasy realm ruled by advertising and pseudo-events, science and pornography.

J.G. Ballard, The Kindness of Women, 1991

Maybe he really did have a “magic touch,” but he also had a talent for finding capable people to work for him. He paid them high salaries and treated them well, and they in turn worked hard for him. “When I know I’ve got the right guy, I put a wad of bills in his hand and let him do his thing,” he once told me. “You’ve got to spend your money for the things that money can buy, not worry about profit or loss. Save your energy for the things that money can’t buy.”
