今天查Value for money的解释,觉得investorwords.com的解释不错,但是几个中文词典网站的解释有点儿离谱:& X+ [; Q3 ? B- ]: H

A buyer's perception of the goods or services that they receive. A consumer can attest to value for money when they feel that they have received an item that was worth the price that they paid for it. Several factors go into the consumers' decisions, including price, quality, and product or service suitability.. C! e0 w, C. b7 \ j7 e
从这个解释看,翻译成“物有所值”是合适的。 $ E. Z1 ~) M/ D+ s8 ^: } e! E! O+ O( k
再看几个中文词典网的解释: 4 O% X7 D+ g9 q7 ahttp://dict.youdao.com/search?q= ... ;keyfrom=dict.index3 G& ]. z8 d9 C: W* [# }4 {

这样看来,金山的解释还是不错的,就是不知道,其他几个网站的“现金交易价格”是从哪里来的。
