另外,在具体生活中, 价格的表达方式很多,需灵活使用。不过,有两点还请读者注意。
其一,表示物价的“高”,“低”且与price搭配时分别要用high和low;表示某物的“贵”,“贱”时分别要用expensive和cheap。二者不能混淆,但可以变通。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.这个市场的
西红柿贵。
其二,询问价格时要注意what与price 连用; how much 与某物连用。如:
What is the price of this car? =How much is this car? 这辆小汽车多少钱?
