今天我的话题是关于，“便宜没好货，好货不便宜”。我觉得便宜的东西并不是坏的东西，我想，价格取决于很多因素。
影响价格的因素有：
质量
需求度
珍稀
营销
品牌
位置
包装
我下面将会说到这些例子：红酒，油，食品，服装，艺术品，还有其他……
很多时候你买贵的衣服和便宜的衣服其实都有一样的质量，但是贵的衣服让你心里觉得它更好。如果两件衣服都因为一样的原因破了，你会觉得贵的衣服有不一样的材质，是你没有好好照顾它，它才会破。而对便宜的衣服，你会觉得是因为质量不好才破的。然而它们都有一样的质量，这些想法都是因为你对它们的价格看法不同。
很多时候你买的贵的红酒和便宜的红酒都有一样的成分。但是它们的瓶身设计不一样。5块钱的酒装瓶子里卖100块钱。
更不用说品牌的价值，举个例子，在上海，你可以看见许多没有牌子的衣服又好看价格又合理。然而这些衣服会被印上像HM这样国际大公司的名字，然后提高价格卖到国外。
有时候你买的贵东西只能用一次，而有些便宜的东西还可以循环利用很多次。
一些我们生活中很便宜的东西，像是一瓶水，但是在旅游景区的价格比平时的5倍高。
一些开在大城市热闹地段的餐厅比其他开在小城市人不多的地方餐厅要贵很多。
我发现，当你在中国说这句话时，不仅仅是因为价格的高低，而是在你用坏了这个东西之后，你才会想起这句话。
在最后，我想给大家分享一些小建议：当你再买东西的时候，检查它的质量怎么样，看看周边的环境怎么样，想想你是不是真的需要它，买了它之后一定要物尽其用。还有，衣服的款式跟价格无关，有时候你花了很多钱买的衣服也不好看，有时候便宜的衣服也有好看的。
今天的话题结束了，谢谢大家
From a school presentation about the Chinese phrase:
“便宜没好货，好货不便宜”
"It's not a good thing if it is cheap"
The translation is not exact cause some parts were cut down to reduce the size due to the time limit of the presentation for "speaking class".
你好
同学们，老师， 大家好。
我的今天的题目是：
“便宜没好货，好货不便宜”
To start I will say that I personally don’t think that
cheap things are necessarily bad. I think, that just
as with everything else it depends. It depends on many things.
Prices often depend on a variety of things:
* Quality
* Demand (how much it’s needed)
* Scarcity
* Marketing
* Brand (recognition)
* Location
* Packaging
I’ve studied and taken as example the following type of products.
Wines, Oil, Food, Clothes, Art, Service, other…
Many times you can buy an expensive shirt that has the same quality
of a cheap shirt. But the he fact that it is expensive makes you think that
it’s better. The shirt can break just as easily in both cases, but if it is
expensive, you think it is a good quality shirt and that’s why it might
easily break and you should take care of it. And if the shirt is cheap
and it breaks, then you think that it broke cause the quality is bad and
there’s no point taking care of it. Meanwhile the quality is the same.
It is all in our minds and how we perceive things.
Many times you can buy an expensive bottle of whine that contains the same whine
as a cheap bottle, but the bottle itself is an expensive bottle and it is sold
in a designed box. All of a sudden a 5$ wine bottle can cost up to 100$
Not to mention the value of the name. Here is Shanghai for example, you can
find new designed clothes with no name made by Chinese designers for a very fair price.
Those same clothes will be imported by big international brand like H&M
and sold in other countries with their name in it for a much higher price.
Sometimes we buy high quality things we’ll use only once for an expensive
price when you can buy recyclable things for a much cheaper price.
We will often find products that normally have a very cheap price, like a bottle of
water, but if you are in a place where there are many tourists and not many shops,
you can ”rest assure” that the price of the water will be 5 times higher than the original
Restaurants located in a ”hot” area of the city or in a big city, will also
have much higher price than restaurants with the same guests and the
same delicious and fresh food, but that are located in another city or area.
Part of my research was not only about cheap prices
but about the phrase “便宜没好货，好货不便宜” itself.
What I found is that in China, this phrase is actually used
only when things break, not just for the cheap price itself
or in comparison with other similar products.
Finally i’d like to finish with a little tip:
When you buy something, make sure the quality is good enough for
the use of the product, make sure it’s environmentally safe,
research what’s out there, and most importantly make sure to buy
something that you really need and will use and that fits you and your taste.
Once you have it, make sure to use it the proper way
and combine it right.
Style is not always about price. You can buy something expensive that
will look bad if you don’t combine it right and something cheap can look
great if you combine right.
