　　d like to travel all over Europe, but the air fare might cost me an arm and a leg.

　　You have to pay a lot of money to give your children a good education nowadays! A place in a top university costs an arm and a leg.

　　Rob: So, how do you use the expression an arm and a leg?

　　Helen: 当你想表示什么东西非常非常昂贵，你就可以说 it costs an arm and a leg.

　　Rob: Now, lets leave this expensive suit here and get out of the shop before the posh-sounding salesman comes back.

　　Helen: 咱们赶快走吧，要不然那个说话高雅的售货员马上就回来了，他肯定会瞧不起我们的。我看那边的那条围巾非得要我 pay a nail and an elbow. 那件红色连衣裙还不得 cost a foot and a knee... 啊, 再看这个包包! 肯定要 cost an ear and a hand...

　　Rob: What are you talking about, Helen!? We only say an arm and a leg! Quick, lets get out of here!

　　Helen: OK, OK! Bye.

　　Rob: Bye.
