我們都知道

cheap是廉價的

所以當有人說

「You are cheap

」是什麼意思呢?

你很便宜?

或者是「你是賤人」?

一起來學習吧

其實，cheap還有小氣的，吝嗇的意思：

A "cheap person" is usually a person who doesn't like to spend money, especially someone who doesn't spend money in situations when he can and should.

通過英文解釋我們知道：

cheap表示：「吝嗇」、「不愿花錢」、「摳門兒」

Oh, please, Dad, just this once don't be cheap.

哦，求求你，爸爸，就這一次，別小氣嘛。

與cheap相關的常用表達，我們再來學習幾個：

dirt cheap

非常便宜

They're always selling off stuff like that dirt cheap.

他們總是以非常便宜的價格把類似那樣的東西處理掉。

cheap and cheerful

物美價廉的

There's a restaurant round the comer that serves cheap and cheerful food.

街角處有家飯店，出售價廉物美的飯菜。

cheap and nasty

便宜貨

Her shoes looked cheap and nasty to me.

她的鞋在我看來質量低劣。

talk is cheap

光說沒有用

Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

空談廉價,供過于求。
