  expensive与dear的区别
 
  1. 两者都可表示“昂贵的”:expensive 通常指物美价高, 非购买者财力所能及;dear 主要指普通日用品因暂时的供应不足而造成的价格上涨。如:
  That’s a beautiful dress, but it’s too expensive for me. 那是件漂亮的连衣裙,但对我来说太贵了。
  We really don’t need such a big, expensive car. 我们的确不需要那么大,那么贵的汽车。
  In the middle of the summer fresh oranges are dear, but in the winter months they are cheap. 仲夏时节,新鲜桔子很贵,但到了冬天就很便宜了。
 
  2. 两者通常都不与 price 连用。如:
  这外套太贵。
  误:The price of the coat is too expensive.
  正:The coat is too expensive.
  正:The price of the coat is too high.
