俗話說的“一分錢一分貨”，在經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)中的價(jià)值規(guī)律是：商品的價(jià)格在一定程度上體現(xiàn)了該商品的價(jià)值。今天小編主要給大家分享怎樣用英語口語形容東西貴，希望對(duì)你們有幫助! ?

價(jià)格偏貴用英語口語怎么表達(dá) ?
要表達(dá)“價(jià)格偏貴”這個(gè)意思，你會(huì)怎么說?有同學(xué)譯成the price is expensive，告訴你，這個(gè)絕對(duì)是錯(cuò)誤。你高中英語老師要跳出來說你啦!外企老板也會(huì)無語!老師強(qiáng)調(diào)過上百次，在英語里面，千萬不要用expensive 來形容價(jià)格price，expensive是形容物體價(jià)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(dá)價(jià)格高低，應(yīng)該用high 和low，“價(jià)格偏貴，價(jià)格偏高”的地道表達(dá)是the price is on the high side，價(jià)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(jià)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(jià)格還是偏高。 ?
要記住了，在中文里面“價(jià)格偏高”和“價(jià)格偏貴”是一個(gè)意思，在英語里面，價(jià)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(jià)”，prevailing price;“大路貨”，goods of fair average quality;說“成交，達(dá)成協(xié)議”，strike a bargain。 ?
便宜點(diǎn)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(jià)商品” 的意思，則指廉價(jià)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(jià)格不貴，特別便宜。這個(gè)習(xí)慣用語可以追溯到十六世紀(jì)晚期。ZUI早的時(shí)候，F(xiàn)or a Song是指給街頭藝人的便士，也就是幾個(gè)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(jià)” ?
Now's your chance to buy these items at knockdown prices. ?
機(jī)會(huì)難得，價(jià)格超低! ?
