adj.形容词
costly, dear, expensive这组词的共同意思是“高贵的”或“昂贵的”。其区别在于: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。

Selling your house can be a costly and time-consuming business.出售你的房子很可能是费钱耗时的事。dear，expensive，costly这些形容词都表示物品价格“高的，昂贵的”之意。 dear侧重指要价过高，或远高于公道、合理的价格，其反义词是cheap。 expensive指物品的价格超过了它本身所值，或超过了购买者的支付能力。 costly指物品价格高，通常是因物品稀少或珍贵所致。
