《水调歌头》·苏轼

明月几时有,把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年?

我欲乘风归去,又恐琼楼玉宇,
高处不胜寒。

起舞弄清影,何似在人间!
转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。

不应有恨,何事长向别时圆?
人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,

此事古难全。
但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。

The price will go down. 这价钱将会降低

个人经验 go downgo up 很好用, 当你不知道用什么动词, 如 increasesurge, 就用 goes up, 像是有一次我去买汽车保险, 我一直想问他如果我一年当中都没有理赔, 那明年的保费会不会降低? 这个降低我就一直想不起来要用decrease 好还是 lower 好, 结果后来我才听他说, The price will go down. 是不是听来很顺. 再说一个例子, 比如作实验时浓度上升, 这个上升你可以说 increase, 但也可以说, The concentration goes up. 听来是不是也不错?另外类似的口语讲法, 你可以用risedrop 来代表 go upgo down. 例如 The price will drop.
