“这个价钱很贵”是中语里极其当然的抒发，但平直翻译成“The price is expensive”却是典型的登科英语诞妄。理解这个常见误区背后的英语逻辑，能帮你幸免雷同诞妄，让抒发愈加刎颈老友。

一、中枢逻辑：价钱≠商品自己

根柢原因：在英语念念维中，“贵/低廉(expensive/cheap)”是商品的属性，而“高/低(high/low)”才是价钱的属性。

正确抒发：

✅ The price is high.(价钱很高)

✅ The item is expensive.(商品很贵)

✅ It is expensive. / That's expensive.(这很贵)

诞妄抒发：

❌ The price is expensive.(字面直译诞妄)

❌ The price is cheap.(雷同诞妄)

二、正确搭配公式

记着这个简便公式：

商品 + be + expensive/cheap

价钱 + be + high/low

运用示例：

这个包很贵：This bag is expensive. / The price of this bag is high.

房价很低：The house is cheap. / The price of the house is low.

手机价钱太高了：The price of the phone is too high. / The phone is too expensive.

三、雷同常见诞妄(举一反三)

“作事速率很慢”

❌ The speed of service is slow.(诞妄)

✅ The service is slow.(作事很慢)

✅ The speed of service is low.(作事速率低)

“东说念主口许多”

❌ The population is many.(诞妄)

✅ The population is large.(东说念主口繁密)

✅ There are many people.(有许多东说念主)

“年龄很大”

❌ His age is very big.(诞妄)

✅ He is very old.(他年齿很大)

✅ His age is high.(他的年龄很高——特定语境如统计)

四、实用场景对话

主顾：How much is this jacket?(这件夹克若干钱?)

伴计：It's $500.(500好意思元。)

主顾：

✅ That's quite expensive!(那挺贵的!)→ 当然响应

✅ The price is quite high.(价钱挺高的。)→ 客不雅评价

❌ The price is expensive.(诞妄抒发)

五、为什么会犯这个诞妄?

直译念念维：平直逐字翻译中语结构

属性污染：将商品属性诞妄赋予价钱

母语侵犯：中语常说“价钱贵/低廉”，当然类推到英语

六、高档抒发扩张

强调价钱过高

The price is unreasonably high.(价钱高得鉴识理)

It's overpriced.(这订价过高了)

That's a rip-off.(这险些是敲诈勒索)

磋商价钱是否合理

Is this a reasonable price?(这个价钱合理吗?)

Do you think it's worth the price?(你以为它值这个价吗?)

样貌性价比

It's good value for money.(这价廉物美)

It's quite affordable.(这格外实惠)

七、自我检测教训

判断下列句子是否正确：

The cost is too expensive.(❌ 应为 The cost is too high.)

Vegetables are cheap in this market.(✅ 正确)

The tuition fee is very cheap.(❌ 应为 The tuition fee is very low.)

This restaurant's prices are high.(✅ 正确)

念念维调治覆按

想要实在幸免这类诞妄，需要培养英语念念维俗例：

1. 听到中语“贵/低廉”时，投注平台先念念考样貌对象是物品已经价钱

2. 讲话前在脑中快速判断：主语是price/cost已经具体物品

3. 多阅读英文商品样貌、价钱连络，酿谚语感

记着这个小决窍：在英语里，price我方不成“贵”，它只可“高”;实在“贵”的是阿谁商品。掌捏了这个中枢区别，你就跨过了登科英语的一个贫瘠门槛。从当今启动，特意志地用“The price is high”替代“The price is expensive”，你的英语会坐窝显得更刎颈老友。
