    expensive, costly, dear

    这组词共同的意思是“高贵的”或“昂贵的”。它们的区别在于:dear指本身并不见得贵,但与同类物品的价格相比而显得“贵”; expensive指虽物有所值,但超出购买者支付能力的“贵”; costly则指物体本身“贵重”,因而价格“昂贵”,常引申指耗费的物质或精力很大。例如:
    In the middle of the summer, fresh oranges are dear, but in the winter months they are cheap.仲夏时节的鲜桔很贵,但在冬季的几个月里却很便宜。
    We indulged in an expensive supper after the concert.音乐会后我们尽情地享受了一顿昂贵的晚餐。
