cost、spend與take都是「花費」的意思,應該怎麼解釋比較清楚?

1.  cost是以主詞來表示花費的原因,包含時間、金錢、勞力,主詞通常是「事」或「物」。

句型1 物+cost(s)+人+金額>。
These books cost me five hundred dollars.

句型2 Itcost(s) +人+金額+to buy物>。
It cost me five hundred dollars to buy these books.

2.  take表示「花時間」,主詞可以是it或「事」。

句型為<Ittakes/took+人+時間to+原形動詞.
   =<動名詞/名詞takes/took+人+時間.
It took me two hours to study English. Studying English took me two hours.

3.  spend可表示「花錢」與「花時間」,主詞一定是「人」。

句型1 <人spend(s)/spent+錢+on+物.
My sister spent three thousand dollars on her Christmas dress.

句型2 <人spend(s)/spent+時間+動名詞.
My sister spent five hours shopping for her Christmas dress.

4.  三者互用的例子為:
These books cost me five hundred dollars.
= It cost me five hundred dollars to buy these books.
= I spent five hundred dollars on these books.

 

It took me two hours to study English.
= Studying English took me two hours.
= I spent two hours studying English.
