用法讲解

adj. (形容词)
  1. expensive的基本意思是“昂贵的,费用大的”,指花费的时间多、金额高或精力大。在用于价格时,含有超过应有价值或超出购物者的购买能力的意味。
  2. expensive常用于修饰物,有时也可用于修饰人,此时多强调一个人的“衣着华丽”。
adj. (形容词)
expensive, costly, dear
  • 这组词的共同意思是“高贵的”或“昂贵的”。其区别在于:dear指本身并不见得贵,但与同类物品的价格相比而显得“贵”; expensive指虽物有所值,但超出购买者支付能力的“贵”; costly则指物体本身“贵重”,因而价格“昂贵”,常引申指耗费的物质或精力很大。例如:
  • In the middle of the summer, fresh oranges are dear, but in the winter months they are cheap.仲夏时节的鲜桔很贵,但在冬季的几个月里却很便宜。
  • We indulged in an expensive supper after the concert.音乐会后我们尽情地享受了一顿昂贵的晚餐。
  • Selling your house can be a costly and time-consuming business.出售你的房子很可能是费钱耗时的事。
    • dear，expensive，costly
  • 这些形容词都表示物品价格“高的，昂贵的”之意。
  • dear侧重指要价过高，或远高于公道、合理的价格，其反义词是cheap。
  • expensive指物品的价格超过了它本身所值，或超过了购买者的支付能力。
  • costly指物品价格高，通常是因物品稀少或珍贵所致。
    • 用作形容词 (adj.)
