Shopping

1. Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?

答案:

Not necessarily! While expensive products often come with better quality and features, it doesn't mean they are always the best choice. For instance, I once bought a high-end blender that broke quickly, while a less expensive one worked perfectly for years. It’s important to evaluate products based on their performance, not just their price tag.


助记: necessarily, expensive products, better quality, features, best choice, high-end, blender, broke quickly, less expensive, evaluate, performance, price tag


翻译:

不一定!虽然昂贵的产品通常具有更好的质量功能,但这并不意味着它们总是最佳选择。例如,我曾经买过一台高端搅拌机,它很快就坏了,而一台便宜一点的搅拌机却完好无损地用了多年。重要的是根据产品的性能来评估,而不仅仅是价格标签。
