词语用法

adj. (形容词)

1. cheap的基本意思是“低”,可指价格低廉,也可指质量低劣,还可指人品低下。作“价格低廉”解时是相对于其内在质量或一般水平而言,即“便宜”,而非绝对值的贱；作“品质低劣”解时含有“尽管价格低,但也不值”的意味；作“人品低下”解时指“低俗,卑鄙”,可用于人、言语或行为。
2. cheap在句中可作定语、表语。cheap的比较级为cheaper,最高级为cheapest。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

cheap, inexpensive

• 这两词均有“便宜的”意思。其区别是：
• cheap有时可指价钱虽便宜,但质量不一定好; inexpensive则主要指质量不低于其价格,公认不贵,便宜。例如:
• The car was inexpensive.那部汽车是便宜的。

下面两个句子的意思不同:

• Apples are the cheapest in autumn.
• 在秋季，水果中苹果最便宜。
• Apples are cheapest in autumn.
• 苹果在秋季最便宜。

inexpensive，cheap

• 这两个形容词均含“便宜的、价廉的”之意。
• inexpensive指商品价格公道，数量和价格相当。
• cheap普通用词，既可指物美价廉，又可指价格低但质量却不怎么样。

low，mean，cheap，shabby

• 这些形容词均有“卑鄙的、卑贱的、卑下的”之意。
• low指行为卑鄙、可耻、不文明，可引申指庸俗。
• mean指行为卑鄙，自私，为人们所不齿。
• cheap侧重指人或物的品质低劣，下贱。

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 这顶帽子很便宜。

   误 The price of the hat is cheap.

   正 The price of the hat is low.

   正 The hat is cheap.

2. 因为价格便宜,所以我把它买下了。

   误 I bought it because the price was cheap.

   正 I bought it because the price was low.
