For a song

For a song 意為「廉價地,非常便宜地」,通常與 go、buy 和 sell 等動詞連用。它從 1500 年代末期開始使用至今,英國劇作家莎士比亞在他的戲劇《終成眷屬》(All’s Well That Ends Well) 中就使用了這個慣用語。這一喜劇首次出版於 1623 年。All is well that ends well 字面的意思是「結局好,一切都好」。

例句:

  • I bought this car for a song. (我以非常便宜的價格買了這部車)
  • My mother bought the bed for a song at an auction. (我媽媽在拍賣會上以非常便宜的價格買了這張床)
  • Because the shopping mall’s closing down, most of the stock is going for a song. (這家賣場要關門了,所以大多數存貨都廉價出售)
