英语同义词at the cost/expense/price /sacrifice of口语训练

英语不是“用”来学的(用来学成中文)，而是学来“用”的(用成英语)。

英语同义词at the cost of , at the expense of, at the price of, at the sacrifice of something or somebody都有“以。。。做为代价”，“以。。。。换来的”的基本意思，但是，我们不是把它们“用”来学的，我们把它们学来“用”它们：现在就“用”：

我们看这句英语：

He achieved what he set out to do, but he did it at the cost

of his life.

这句英语“读懂”了吗？

读懂了，但不是“用”来读成中文：他实现了自己既定的目标，但却献出了生命。

我们读懂了，但是是读成英语：

Okay.I got you.When you say：He achieved what he set out to do, but he did it at the cost of his life,you can also say/you mean：

He achieved what he set out to do, but he did it at the at the expense of his life,or at the price of his life,or at tge sacrifice of of his life.

下面，到你用同义词替换理解和表达下面的英语句子：

这样一来，我们不需要中文就把学到的英语“用”起来了。

1. The poor fox escaped from the ice hole at the cost of its tail.

2. The house was built at the expense of $500,000.

3. You should not promote your own welfare at the expense of others.

用中文理解很重要，但是对于你，“用”英语理解英语更重要。
