Learner notes
Memory Tip
price 和 ice 同韵，想象一块冰上贴着价签：给商品标价、定价或问价时，price 就出现了。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：business pricing、consumer shopping price 作动词有两个主要含义：一是“给…定价”，常见于商业、零售等场景，例如 The tickets are priced at $50；二是“查明/打听某物的价格”，多见于购物、比价等日常场景。两种含义的语体有差异：前者偏正式/书面，后者偏口语，因此整体可视为混合语体。
Grammar Note
通常与at连用表示定价
