| 词组 | cost |
| 释义 | 1．at the cost of（以……为代价）后面接的词通常表示损失或花费的东西。例如：life，health，time 和 money。但有时也接表示被遭受的东西的词。例如：discomfort，hardship，misery 和 suffering。at the cost of losing his life 和 at the cost of his life 意思相同。at the cost of leaving your meaning vague 和 at the cost of the clearness of your meaning 也意思相同。 2．at all costs（不惜任何代价、无论如何）比 at any cost 普通。 3．cost 原来是不及物动词，This cost me much money 里的 me 是间接宾语，money 是状语宾语。不过这种结构很特别，为便利起见，不妨把 cost 看作及物动词，me 看作间接宾语，money 看作直接宾语。但注意 This cost me much money 决不可改作 This cost much money to（或 for）me，也不可改作 I was cost much money（by this）或 Much money was cost me (by this)。 4．cost 的状语宾语（或直接宾语）通常是表示损失或花费掉的东西的词。例如：life，health，time 和 money。但有时也接表示被遭受的东西的词。例如：discomfort，hardship，misery 和 suffering。The accident cost him his life 和 The accident cost him the loss of his life 意思相同。 |
