物超所值英语说法

bang fo the buck 物超所值

送礼送到心坎里

送者用心，收者实惠，甚至物超所值（bang for the buck），能把钱花在刀口上，意义与效果就不可以轻忽（mean business）。俗话说：「礼多人不怪」，但英文「希腊人的礼物」（Greek gift）却会让受者受伤，因此送礼绝对是件大事。

利 害冲突，当事人变脸（Dr Jekyll from Mr Hyde）最快，宜有事先准备，礼物就是最佳润滑剂。红顶商人胡雪岩「招安」小刀会，设宴讨论细节，匪酋跷脚长根虚与委蛇，带了20名随从与宴。胡雪岩原 本只备妥四分小礼，这时赶紧添购，给20人每人一套新衣料，二两银子，目的就是私下先和这些随扈攀妥交情（to curry favor），买个保险。

因为胡雪岩深知，「鸿门宴」生死交关（pay an arm and a leg for something），双方随时因为争执（cross sword with someone）扯破脸，先前看似无关的因缘，随时可能发生大用。

钱要花在刀口上

孙子说：「因是而知之，故乡间、内间可得而使也」；亦即在关键位置摆对人，消息通畅，就不怕被孤立而陷于无援（send someone to Coventry），精于此道，则对手的乡亲、工作人员，当然也应逐一列为对象，争取为我所用。

例："Madam Chien made sure her colleagues to come out, break bread, and chat with those big shots' chauffeurs and guards."「钱夫人要手下做到热情招呼司机和随扈，让他们也享用些小点心。」

"Ambassador Chien got cold shoulder officially, but he became popular by word of mouth."「官方对钱大使冷淡，但他的人气却扶摇直上。」

"They were able to get a big bang for their buck when they made the guests and their subordinates at home."「他们把钱花在刀口上，物超所值，让来宾上下宾至如归。」

"The hostess means business when she tells us to treat all as one."「女主人十分用心，要我们好生招待，用相同态度对待来宾。」

"Some describe the proposed tariff reductions by the Chinese negotiators as "Greek gift" designed to deceive Taiwanese people."「有人形容中国谈判者的让利有如希腊人的礼物，目的是赚取台湾同胞的好感。」

使小计免除灾难

"I am appalled to find the wall that separates Dr. Jekyll from Mr. Hyde in him is so thin."「他翻脸如翻书，这可把我吓坏了。」

"We could argue he'd done it to curry favor with the guards."「我们认为他主要是为了买通卫兵的好感。」

"Hu avoided paying an arm and a leg for his safety by taking good care of his enemy's men."「胡雪岩因为事先打点了对手的人马，免掉血光之灾。」

"The negotiators crossed swords on all issues, showing the lack of mutual confidence between them."「只见谈判者言词交峰猛烈，显现彼此互信极差。」

"So doing, Hu gets rid of the "send him to Coventry" sanction."「使了小计，免掉孤立无援的尴尬场面。」
