Cheap and cheerful
cheap比較好理解,但是如果只是單單用cheap形容一件商品,通常意味著商品的質(zhì)量也非常一般。這時,如果再加上 “cheerful”這個單詞,就很好地將“物美”的感覺表達(dá)出來。
Cheerful:adj.快樂的; 高興的; 令人愉快的;
Cheap and cheerful
When people say that something is cheap and cheerful, they mean the product doesn't cost much but it serves its purpose.
Example:
He made a lot of money from designing cheap and cheerful toys for children.
他為孩子設(shè)計(jì)物美價廉的玩具,從中掙了不少錢。
但如果時候買回來的東西雖然便宜,但是你發(fā)現(xiàn),質(zhì)量確實(shí)很差,簡直是粗制濫造,這時,可以用“cheap and nasty”來表達(dá)。
nasty adj. 極差的; 令人厭惡的; 令人不悅的;
Example:
Everything in this shop is cheap and nasty, don't buy anything.
這家店東西都很粗制濫造,什么都別買。
