cheap
國小小四下/tʃiːp/
adj.便宜的
low in price
什麼時候用
cheap 指「價格低」,但用來形容人或行為時是「小氣、廉價」,帶貶意。想中性地說「便宜」可以用 inexpensive 或 low-priced。
常見錯誤
- 說某人 cheap 是在說他小氣,不是說他便宜。
- 價格本身不能用 cheap 形容:The price is cheap 不自然,要說 The price is low。
- 反義是 expensive;比較級是 cheaper,不是 more cheap。
常見搭配
- cheap ticket
- dirt cheap
- cheap labor
