價格偏貴用英語口語怎么表達 ?

要表達“價格偏貴”這個意思,你會怎么說?有同學(xué)譯成the price is expensive,告訴你,這個絕對是錯誤。你高中英語老師要跳出來說你啦!外企老板也會無語!老師強調(diào)過上百次,在英語里面,千萬不要用expensive 來形容價格price,expensive是形容物體價值,比如說the car is expensive,或者 the book is expensive,cheap也是一樣的用法。要表達價格高低,應(yīng)該用high 和low,“價格偏貴,價格偏高”的地道表達是the price is on the high side,價格偏低就是the price is on the low side。 ?

我們通過例句來學(xué)習(xí)on the high side 的用法: ?

I like the house but I think the price is on the high side. ?

我喜歡這房子但它的價格太高了。 ?

Your price is still on the high side even if we take quality into consideration. ?

即使將質(zhì)量考慮在內(nèi),你們的價格還是偏高。 ?

要記住了,在中文里面“價格偏高”和“價格偏貴”是一個意思,在英語里面,價格不能用expensive 形容。我們總結(jié)今天內(nèi)容:雙方都做讓步,meet each other half way;“流行價”,prevailing price;“大路貨”,goods of fair average quality;說“成交,達成協(xié)議”,strike a bargain。 ?

便宜點用英語口語怎么說 ?

What a good deal! ?

字面意思就是“一樁好交易”,即 “劃算、便宜” ?

Really? What a good deal! Where did you get it? ?

真的嗎?真便宜!你在哪里買到的? ?

That is a (real) bargain/What a bargain! ?

bargain 有“特價商品” 的意思,則指廉價出售的商品 ?

What a bargain, let's buy it. ?

這么便宜,讓我們買了吧。 ?

That's a steal! ?

便宜貨,幾乎都算不上掏了錢就可以買到,多用于美國非正式口語 ?

The meal only cost 200 Yuan, that's a steal! ?

這餐只花了200塊,真便宜! ?

for a song ?

價格不貴,特別便宜。這個習(xí)慣用語可以追溯到十六世紀(jì)晚期。ZUI早的時候,F(xiàn)or a Song是指給街頭藝人的便士,也就是幾個小錢的意思。 ?

We bought this car for a song. ?

我們買的這輛車非常便宜。 ?

Knockdown ?

除了有“擊倒”的意思,名詞可作“減價” ?

Now's your chance to buy these items at knockdown prices. ?

機會難得,價格超低! ?
