东西论贵贱：意思是说具体的商、物品都可以用expensive和cheap来修饰；
价格论高低：意思是说谈到具体的价格price，就必须用high和low来修饰了。
价格的高或低 = 东西的贵或贱。
核心原理如下：
l price的英文词条解释：the amount of money that you have to pay for sth
l 英语里的expensive以及cheap后面必须搭配具体的东西，比如expensive clothes，cheap shoes；不可以搭配number/amount这个抽象概念.
l 因为price也是一个number/amount，所以expensive以及cheap不能形容price。
l 我们可以说：expensive clothes
l 我们不能说：expensive price
搭配词组：
a high/reasonable/low price 或者rising / falling / full prices
