n.(名詞)

cost作名詞時,意思是“成本,費用,價錢,代價”。引申可指“損失,犧牲”,包括時間或精力方面的消耗。

cost作“成本”“費用”解時,可用單數形式,也可用復數形式; 作“代價”解時,一般用單數形式。

v.(動詞)

cost的基本意思是“對得到的事物、行為或事情的結果付出代價”,可依據上下文靈活譯為“值…”“花費”或“失去”“蒙受”“招致”等。引申還可表示“估算成本”“計算費用”。cost側重的是“以…為代價”,而不僅僅是數量的陳述。

cost主要用作及物動詞。作“花費”“付出代價”解時,不用于被動結構,主語通常是物或事物。接名詞或代詞作賓語時,賓語為金錢、時間、精力等(在當代英語中,這一范圍正不斷擴大)。接雙賓語時,直接賓語為金錢、時間、精力等,間接賓語則總是人。作“計算費用”“估算”解時主語一定是人,且可用于被動結構。

cost也可用作不及物動詞,意為“需要花費”“需要付出代價”,這時其后一般有副詞性狀語。

cost也可用作系動詞,可接形容詞,表被動意義。

cost的過去式和過去分詞有兩種形式,作“花費”“失去”解時用cost,作“估算”解時則是costed。

n.(名詞)

cost, expense, outlay

這三個名詞的共同意思是“花費,費用”。其區別是：

1.cost指為獲得或生產某物所費的金額,是時間、勞力等的總計。一般指日常生活的開銷,也可指勞力、服務等的“費用”“花費”; expense則含有較不確定的意味,泛指“費”“費用”; 而outlay則指為一定目的而花費的金額。例如:

She built the house without regard to cost.她蓋這房子根本不在乎花多少錢。

The expense of a good education is great.受到好的教育需要一大筆費用。

We need a large outlay on scientific research.我們需要科學研究的大量費用。

2.cost和outlay既可用作動詞,又可用作名詞,而expense只能用作名詞,其動詞形式為expend。

v.(動詞)

cost, price

這兩個詞都有“價格”的意思,有時兩者可以換用。例如:

What's the cost〔price〕 of that book?這本書多少錢?

其區別是：

cost有“原價”“成本”的意思,指對物品所作的代價,包括物的發現,制造等所花去的一切費用; 而price指商品的“銷售價格”,尤指賣方對商品所要求的價格。一般說來,物品的price總比它的cost高些。例如:

They want to sell the things at cost.他們想按成本價把這些東西賣了。

What is the price of this table?這張桌子價格多少?
