用法讲解
adj. (形容词)
- costly的基本含意是“昂贵的”,不在于价钱上贵而在于其豪华、精致、珍贵。costly还可用于时间、精力和体力。
adj. (形容词)
- costly, dear, expensive
-
- 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。
