我看到有两句话,第一是Yet the spread of this wonder crop has come at a price。中文意思是这种神奇作物的传播要付出代价。
第2句是Fame comes at a price。成名要付出代价。
我在字典里查at a price是一个固定短语用法,表示价格昂贵或是要付出代价。在这两句中at a price前面都有单词come,想请教come是和at a price共同构成固定短语格式吗? Come在这里表达什么含义?
at a price
costing a lot of money 以高价;花大钱
You can buy strawberries all year round, but at a price.草莓一年到头都买得到,不过很贵。
involving sth unpleasant 付代价
He'll help you—at a price!他会帮助你的,但要付出代价!
come at a price to include disadvantages in order to get what you want.
The company's success was made possible by the country's rulers, but their support comes at a price.
Usage notes: sometimes used without come:
Following the recommendation would have increased teamwork, but at a price.
查字典就可以解决啦。
to happen or occur发生
These changes couldn't have come at a better time.
这些变化来得正是时候。
I promise that no harm will come to you. [=I promise that you will not be harmed]
我保证你不会受到伤害。

她为她的成功付出了很大代价。
It's important for children to learn about the people and things that came before us.
让孩子们了解过去的人和事是非常重要的。
