King's Ransom

An Arm and a Leg

A Fortune



含义:这三个词的含义都是一样的,就是指价格昂贵,付出很多钱才得到的意思。语气严重的程度也差不多,但King's Ransom一般用来指非个人的主体花了很大的代价,而其他两个多用于形容个人 - 你我他 - 花费了巨额代价。

例句:

King's Ransom

It costs the Canadian Liberal party a king's ransom to reach an agreement with other minority parties to overthrow the Conservatives; but a decision by the GG to support the suspending of parliament has put everything at the brink of all wasted for nothing.

An Arm and a Leg

A: Wow, nice new Porsche. How much it costs you?
B: An arm and a leg of course! So now I have to hire someone to drive it for me!
