adj.便宜的；廉价的

cheap的基本意思是“低”,可指价格低廉,也可指质量低劣,还可指人品低下。作“价格低廉”解时是相对于其内在质量或一般水平而言,即“便宜”,而非绝对值的贱；作“品质低劣”解时含有“尽管价格低,但也不值”的意味；作“人品低下”解时指“低俗,卑鄙”,可用于人、言语或行为。
cheap在句中可作定语、表语。cheap的比较级为cheaper,最高级为cheapest。
cheap还可充当副词,意思是“廉价地,便宜地”，但只能与买卖或租赁有关的动词连用。例如:I was very luckly to get it so cheap.我很幸运能如此便宜地买到它。I bought the cloth cheap because there is a small defect in it.这布我买得便宜,因为上面有个小疵点。
cheap既可作“廉价”解,又可作“劣质”解; 因此,为了避免误解,有时改用low-priced这样一个复合形容词来表达“廉价”的意思。例如: This is the cheapest restaurant in town.这是全城最廉价的饭馆。This store sells low-priced edition.这家书店有廉价版本出售。下面三句话都是正确的: The fruit is very cheap.水果很便宜。The price of the fruit is very low.这种水果价格很低廉。I bought the fruit at a very low price.我用低价买了那水果。
