今天豆豆去逛國貿,進去後豆豆傻眼了,只能do window shopping了, 因為裡面的東西太「貴」了!!
「貴」的英語是expensive,那「非常貴」呢, 除了expensive, very expensive, 你還會其他的說法來表達「貴」嗎?
#=very expensive
I wanna buy that Cucci handbag, but it's a bit pricey.
我想買那個古馳包,但有點貴。
大家對exclusive最熟悉的意思是「獨家的」,「獨有的」
比如,
exclusive right: 獨家版權
exclusive shoes: 獨有的鞋子
exclusive也可以用來描述商品非常貴, 貴到available only to people who have a lot of money。
Don't enter in. It's an exclusive shop.
別進去, 這是一家有錢人才消費得起的店。
I don't have much money to afford this pair of extravagant shoes.
我買不起這雙昂貴的鞋。
#調侃式地說「貴」
在中文裡, 我們常常會用「賣腎」「搶銀行」等來調侃某個東西貴, 英文裡也有這樣的說法。
-He bought his girlfriend a necklace, but it really costed him an arm and a leg.
他給女友買了一根項鍊, 但真的花了他一大筆錢。
to break the bank = to cost all the money you have in the bank; more commonly used in the negative form to not break the bank when you want to say that something is expensive, but not that expensive.
-Getting a new bag won't break the bank.
買一個包包不會讓你傾家蕩產的。
它可以用來指商品的價格unfair, unreasonable, 以至於讓消費者pay through the nose
Why did you pay through the nose for a second-hand car?
你為什麼花那麼多錢去買一輛二手車?
It costs me a small fortune to get this house.
買這套房子花了我一筆小錢。
