让我们去购物吧。到了季末，所有的商店都在大减价，样样东西都非常便宜。
B: But I don’t have any money.
但我没钱。
【疯狂注释】dirt cheap的意思是“很便宜；便宜得很”！很多中国的英语学习者误以为是“dirty and cheap”，闹了很多笑话！

Kim’s Note: This is a favorite word of Americans. It is often used as a one-word sentence. 这是美国人很喜欢用的一个词，经常一个字出现在句子里。
☆ A: What did you think of that new restaurant?
你认为那家新饭店怎么样？
B: Cheap!
太差劲了！
P.S. Be sure to pronounce this word well. You need to exaggerate the long vowel sound. If you don’t, people will be confused and think you are talking about a popular American snack, potato chips. 当心这个单词发音要准确，你得夸张其中的长元音。要不然，人们就会迷惑，以为你想要美国人爱吃的小吃——炸薯条！
