   除了cheap, 便宜还能这么说:


  形容东西很便宜,有很多英语词,意思也稍有不同:
  Cheap: 便宜,常常有东西比较廉价、质量一般的意思。
  Inexpensive: 不贵
  Low price: 低价、廉价
  怎么用:
  This is so cheap. 这个很便宜。
  That computer is inexpensive. 那台电脑不贵。
  The car is at a low price. 这辆车价格很低。
  更多地道用法:
  美国人说自己捡到便宜、买了物美价廉的东西,都会这么说:
  做名词:
  Bargain: 做动词是讨价还价,但做名词可以表示合算的东西。
  Steal: 动词是偷,做名词意思是便宜得像偷来的,价格低得不可思议。
  怎么用:
  What a bargain! 好便宜啊!
  What a steal! 真是好便宜!
  做形容词:
  Budget: 名词是预算,但做形容词可以表示经济的、廉价的。
  怎么用:
  Budget airlines: 廉价航空公司
  Cheap形容人,是什么意思呢?
  Someone is cheap: 指一个人对钱很小气、很吝啬,通常比较贬义。
  He is cheap: 他很小气。
  I am cheap: 我很小气的。颇有自嘲的意味,常指自己很节俭。
  Cheap还有一些衍生词:
  A cheapskate: 小气鬼、铁公鸡
  A cheap date: 很省钱的约会对象,通常指不太在乎昂贵消费的人
  怎么用:
  He is such a cheapskate! 他真是个小气鬼!
  I am a cheap date. 我约会的时候,物质要求很低。
  小气vs.节俭
  小气和节俭性质完全不同,多学一些表达吧:
  这两个词都是贬义词:
  Miserly: 贬义
  Stingy: 自私小气,贬义词
  有时候也不是小气,可能是节俭,是美德:
  Frugal 1: 节俭
  Thrifty 2: 勤俭节约
  这两个词是中性词,是贬义还是褒义可以根据语气变化而变化。比如:
  My grandma is frugal. 我奶奶很节约。
  物超所值!
  最后教大家两个“物有所值”的表达:
  Bang for your buck 3: 超值!(这是非常地道的美国口语表达)
  Great value (for money): 性价比高
