其实在英语口语中，一个很简单的单词，放到不同语境里面都会衍生出不同的意思，比如今天我们要说的这个简答词汇“buy”。

buy

（1）买、购买、采购

英英释义：

If you buy something, you obtain it by paying money for it.

（你要付钱才能得到你想要的东西）

例句：

He could not afford to buy a house.

他买不起房子。

（2）换取、获得

英英释义：

If you buy something like time, freedom, or victory, you obtain it but only by offering or giving up something in return.

（对于时间、自由或胜利的获取，你需要通过提供或放弃某些东西来交换）

例句：

It was a risky operation, but might buy more time.

这是一项冒险的举动，但也许能换得更多的时间。

（3）买通、收买、贿赂

英英释义：

If you say that a person can be bought, you are criticizing the fact that they will give their help or loyalty to someone in return for money.

（他们会用他们的帮助或忠诚来换取金钱。）

例句：

Any number of our military and government officials can be bought.

我们的军官和政府官员中有许多可以被收买。

buy做名词用的时候，可解释为“便宜货”

比如：

This was still a good buy even at the higher price.

即使价格更高一些，这仍然很合算。

buy还可以是“相信（某种说法）”的意思，这是非正式的表达。即“If you buy an idea or a theory, you believe and accept it. ”

比如：

I'm not buying any of that nonsense.

我一点也不相信那些废话。

He said he couldn't attend my party because he had to prepare for an exam, but I don't buy it.

她说参加不了我的聚会因为她要准备一门考试。我才不信。
