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.

你说的有道理，我一般都是一觉睡到天亮。很多人认为做梦是上天要告诉他们将来会发生的一些事情，可能上天不想让我知道吧。
Nǐ shuō de yǒu dàolǐ, wǒ yìbān dōu shì yíjiào shuì dào tiānliàng. Hěn duō rén rènwéi zuòmèng shì shàngtiān yào gàosù tāmen jiānglái huì fāshēng de yìxiē shìqíng, kěnéng shàngtiān bù xiǎng ràng wǒ zhīdào ba.
What you said makes sense. I usually sleep straight through until dawn. Many people think that dreaming is Heaven trying to tell them what will happen in the future. Maybe Heaven doesn't want me to know.

一般晚上睡觉时，身体感觉到什么，人就容易梦到什么内容。记得有一次，我晚饭吃得太咸，那天晚上就梦见自己到处找商店买矿泉水。
Yìbān wǎnshang shuìjiào shí, shēntǐ gǎnjué dào shénme, rén jiù róngyì mèngdào shénme nèiróng. Jìde yǒu yí cì, wǒ wǎnfàn chī de tài xián, nà tiān wǎnshang jiù mèngjiàn zìjǐ dàochù zhǎo shāngdiàn mǎi kuàngquánshuǐ.
In general, when sleeping at night, whatever the body feels, people are likely to dream about it. I remember once, my dinner was too salty, and that night I dreamed of looking everywhere for a store to buy mineral water.
