n. (名词)

expense, cost, outlay: 这三个名词的共同意思是“花费,费用”。其区别是：

1.cost指为获得或生产某物所费的金额,是时间、劳力等的总计。一般指日常生活的开销,也可指劳力、服务等的“费用”“花费”; expense则含有较不确定的意味,泛指“费”“费用”; 而outlay则指为一定目的而花费的金额。例如:

She built the house without regard to cost.她盖这房子根本不在乎花多少钱。

The expense of a good education is great.受到好的教育需要一大笔费用。

We need a large outlay on scientific research.我们需要科学研究的大量费用。

2.cost和outlay既可用作动词,又可用作名词,而expense只能用作名词,其动词形式为expend。
