"Know the price of everything and the value of nothing" = biết giá cả của mọi thứ nhưng chẳng biết giá trị gì -> nghĩa là quá trọng vật chất đến mức quên đi những giá trị thực sự.
Ví dụ
Oscar Wilde once said that “people know the price of everything and the value of nothing”. For Diario Sport, this sums up (kết luận) the reaction to Lionel Messi‘s recently leaked (rò gỉ) Barcelona contract.
In the midst of the greatest pandemic in a hundred years, when IT underinvestment (đầu tư thiếu) and antiquated (cổ xưa) infrastructure has been exposed, we unfortunately continue to hear from some that the solution is to starve investment. This same cynical (người hay nhạo báng) crowd always seems to know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
“There are a lot of people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing,” the art collector Stefan Edlis remarks in Nathaniel Kahn’s new documentary. The words, unattributed (không được đổ cho) in the film and the source of its title, come from “Lady Windermere’s Fan” by Oscar Wilde, where they supply the definition of a cynic.
About halfway through The Price of Everything, director Nathaniel Kahn’s new documentary about the vicissitudes (thăng trầm) of the contemporary art market, mega-collector Stefan Edlis gives the filmmaker his title: “There’s a lot of people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing,” quips Edlis in his thick Austrian accent, summing up the dichotomy (lưỡng phân) at the heart of Kahn’s project.
