另外,在具體生活中, 價格的表達方式很多,需靈活使用。不過,有兩點還請讀者注意。
其一,表示物價的“高”,“低”且與price搭配時分別要用high和low;表示某物的“貴”,“賤”時分別要用expensive和cheap。二者不能混淆,但可以變通。如:
The prices of watches are low at that shop. =Watches are cheap at that shop. 那家商店的手表便宜。
The prices of tomatoes are high in this market. =Tomatoes are expensive in this market.這個市場的西紅柿貴。
其二,詢問價格時要注意what與price 連用; how much 與某物連用。如:
What is the price of this car? =How much is this car? 這輛小汽車多少錢
