一、詳細(xì)釋義:


adj.

昂貴的;代價(jià)高的


例句:

That's as much as the output of a costly converter, thirty feet high. Really wonderful!

那等于一座高30英尺造價(jià)昂貴的轉(zhuǎn)爐的年產(chǎn)量,真了不起!


例句:

Waste of time is the most extravagant and costly of all expenses.

浪費(fèi)時(shí)間是一切花費(fèi)中最奢侈豪華的費(fèi)用。


二、詞義辨析:


dear,expensive,costly

這些形容詞都表示物品價(jià)格“高的,昂貴的”之意。 dear側(cè)重指要價(jià)過(guò)高,或遠(yuǎn)高于公道、合理的價(jià)格,其反義詞是cheap。 expensive指物品的價(jià)格超過(guò)了它本身所值,或超過(guò)了購(gòu)買(mǎi)者的支付能力。 costly指物品價(jià)格高,通常是因物品稀少或珍貴所致。
