Buy 和 purchase 之间的区别是一个有趣的话题,因为许多人会说它们的意思相同。比如你是从市场上买手机是 buy 还是 purchase 呢?这是一个没有多少人能够回答的难题,而且再加上 get,那么如何合理地”买“呢?
一、buy
1. 作动词,是普通用词,既可指日常随意购物也可指购买大件物品,可后接双宾语,意为”买,购买“,例如:

2. 作名词,意为”合算的商品,买进(或出售)的东西,购买“,常用于搭配 a good/bad buy,例如:
This jacket is a really good buy, at 200.
这件夹克200元,很合算。
The shares look undervalued and are a good buy.这些股票看起来被低估了,是一笔不错的买卖。

二、purchase
Purchase 词义同 buy,但更为正式,它是有合同协议的买卖,如买房地产,一个公司向另外一个公司下订单等。
1. 作动词,后不可接双宾语,例如:

三、get
Get 作动词,作”买,购买“义解时较口语化,可与 buy 换用,例如:
