人们常说“一分钱一分货”，意思是东西的质量和价格有很大的关系，也可以说“便宜没好货，好货不便宜”，一般情况下，你花的钱越多，买的东西也就越好。
Rénmen cháng shuō "yì fēn qián yì fēn huò", yìsi shì dōngxi de zhìliàng hé jiàgé yǒu hěn dà de guānxi, yě kěyǐ shuō "piányi méi hǎo huò, hǎo huò bù piányi", yìbān qíngkuàng xià, nǐ huā de qián yuè duō, mǎi de dōngxi yě jiù yuè hǎo.
People often say "you get what you pay for", meaning that the quality of something is closely related to its price. You can also say "cheap isn't good; good isn't cheap". In general, the more money you spend, the better the things you buy.
