- 1nA2/ˌhæf ˈpraɪs/ · /ˌhɑːf ˈpraɪs/半價
Half of the money that something usually costs, so a thing that is normally 200 dollars costs you only 100.
示範例句 · Example
Mei bought three story books at half price at the school sale.
逐字美在學校的拍賣會上以半價買了三本故事書。
half price 就是「原價的一半」：本來 200 元，現在 100 元。英文最常用的形狀是 at half price（以半價），例如 I got these shoes at half price；也可以直接說某樣東西 is half price（這東西賣半價）。它相反的說法是 full price（原價、全票）。這個名詞不可數，所以說 at half price、for half price，不說 a half price，也沒有 half prices。
