Question

求助英语语法.
he works hard to provide eligible students access to the plans at minimal cost to the student.这句cost 后面的to的用法怎么解释,句子结构
是怎样的,

Answer 1

"cost to ...' 的意思是由...承担的费用,这句话中 "cost to the student" 是说学生需要承担的费用,那么加上 "minimal cost..." 就是学生需要承担的最低费用.
类似的用法还有:
We will ship the item at no cost to you.我们免费为你送货,"at no cost to you" 是说你不用承担费用,也就是免费.
The true cost to you in this transaction is higher than you thought.在这笔交易中你真正的费用比你想的要高.
