Add up to and number can be used to emphasize the process of calculating a total through mathematics or counting; total and amount to sth focus more on the number/amount rather than the process of arriving at the result. Total and amount to sth are used especially in business writing when describing the performance of a company or industry. Number usually has people as the subject of the sentence; total is the only other verb that can be used like this. * add up to和number强调通过计算得出总数的过程； total和amount to sth更着重于得出的数目或数量，而非计算的过程。total和amount to sth尤用于描述公司或产业业绩的商业写作中。number的主语通常是人，本组同义词中只有total也可这么用◆The crew totalled / numbered sixteen.机组人员共计十六人。◆The crew added up to/amounted to sixteen. ■ ˈrun to sth phrasal verb to be of a particular size or amount, especially when this is surprisingly large 达到，有（尤指惊人的规模或数量）◆The book runs to nearly 800 pages.这本书有近800页。◆The cost of repairing damaged roads alone will run to £1 million.单是修复损毁道路的花费就将达到100万英镑。 cost verb cost ♦︎ be ♦︎ sell ♦︎ trade ♦︎ go ♦︎ retail ♦︎ set sb back sthThese are all words that can be used when sth costs a particular amount of money and you need to pay that amount in order to buy, make or do it. 这些词均表示价格或费用为某数额。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆How much does this cost / is this?◆That costs / will set you back a lot of money.◆sth sells / trades / retails at £9.95◆sth sells / goes / retails for £9.95■ cost (cost, cost) [transitive] If sth costs a particular amount of money, you need to pay that amount in order to buy, make or do it. 需付费；价钱为◆I didn't get it because it cost too much.我没买，因为太贵了。◆Calls to the helpline cost 38p per minute.拨打热线服务电话每分钟收费38便士。◆All these reforms will cost money (= be expensive).所有这些改革都要花很多钱。◆Good food need not cost a fortune (= be very expensive).好吃的东西不一定要花费很多。 see also cost ⇨ price noun ■ be linking verb (especially spoken) to cost 需花费；价格为◆'How much is that dress?'

Sell is a more general word than retail, which is used mostly in Business English, and only for goods that are sold to the public through shops. * sell较retail含义广，后者主要为商务用语，且只用于经商店向大众销售的商品◆The book retails / sells at £14.95.这本书的零售价是14.95英镑。◆The painting retailed for $70 000 at auction. Go in this meaning is more informal than sell. In British English it is used especially in the phrase going cheap and about particular items being sold on particular occasions. 表达此义时，go比sell较为非正式。在英式英语中，go尤用于短语going cheap，以及某些场合下出售的某些物品◆The painting went for $70 000 at auction.那幅画以7万元拍卖售出了。In informal American English you can also use go to talk about the usual price of sth in a shop. 在非正式的美式英语中，也可以用go指某物在商店里的通常价格◆These boots usually go for around $30 a pair.这些靴子一般每双卖30元左右。 ■ ˌset sb ˈback sth phrasal verb (setting, set, set) [no passive] (informal) to cost sb a particular amount of money 使花费；使破费◆The repairs could set you back over £200.修理这些部件大概要花你200多英镑。ⓘ Set sb back sth is used especially about things that are considered expensive. * set sb back sth尤用于昂贵的东西。 |
