Question

prohibitive adj.禁止的；抑制的；（价格等）过高的 (1) 从立法学上来说，禁止性规则更能表达防范国家权力可能侵犯公民权利的目的。(2) 政府对外国货征收抑制性税率。(3) 到远东旅游的费用高的令人不敢问津。 Prohibitive originally referred to something (often a law) that prohibits or forbids something, but came to mean conditions (often prices or taxes) so high or great they restrict or prevent something: "To some, the cost of child care is prohibitive." The stress is on the second syllable, just like the verb: pro-HIB-itive. If it's a matter of expense, a synonym is exorbitant.
