今天讲到的英语俚语惯用法是"over the odds",中文解释为"价格超过正常的,价格过于昂贵",主要出现在英式英语中。
Oxford字典定义为"在可以接受的水平之上,特别指的是价格",而Webster则解释为"比正常的或者期待的量多"。
一些同义词包括:excessively high, excessive, every expensive, extremely high。
看下几个例句来理解这个惯用法的应用:
在Oxford的例句中:"We already suffer by paying over the odds for Insurance e to excessive and fraulent claims." 意味着我们已经因为过多的和欺诈的索赔,而支付了超出保险正常价格的费用。
而"no venture capitalist wants to pay over the odds"意味着没有风险投资家会愿意支付超过正常水平的价格。
在Oxford的另一个例句中:"Antique furniture, for example, has plummeted in value recently, meaning you could be paying over the odds to insure the contents of your home." 意味着古董家具价格的下跌,可能意味着你支付的保险费比物品实际价值高出了很多。
Cambridge的例句:"They paid way over the odds for their new offices." 指的是他们为新办公室支付了远超出正常价格的费用。
在Longman的例句中:"They still expected to get cheap baked beans, but would pay over the odds for high-quality fresh food." 意味着他们期望购买便宜的烤豆子,但对于高质量的新鲜食物,他们却愿意支付远远超过其实际价值的价格。
