expensive to cheap 从贵到便宜_Apr 2

(random thoughts from one sentence)

The best things in life are free, and the second best are very expensive; and money plays the role of a medium, it helps us value the second best things, and it is irrelevant for what we deem the best things; meanwhile, economic mechanisms will make what used to be expensive very cheap as our subjective valuation on things keeps progressing.

人生中最好的东西是免费的，其次好的东西非常昂贵；而钱的角色是一个中介，帮助我们去衡量次好的东西，同时和最好的东西无关；与此同时，随着我们价值观的演变，经济机制会让一些贵的东西变得很便宜。
