1. Meat and butter were prohibitively expensive. 肉和奶油都贵得买不起。
2. Car insurance can be prohibitively expensive for young drivers. 汽车保险费有时高得让年轻开车人承受不起。
3. Now, new technology makes it easier, faster, and cheaper to identify and serve targeted micro-markets in ways that were physically impossible or prohibitively expensive in the past. 现在，新技术使识别和服务目标微市场变得更容易、更快捷、更便宜；这在过去是不可能实现的，或者是代价非常昂贵的。
4. Generating enough light could be prohibitively expensive, unless cheap, renewable energy is available, and this appears to be rather a future aspiration than a likelihood for the near future. 除非有廉价可再生能源，否则制造足够光的成本可能会高得令人望而却步，而这似乎只是未来的愿望而非近期能实现的。
5. But winning such victories may be prohibitively costly. 但是要赢得这样的胜利代价可能让人承受不起。
