1. 這是什么詞峻贮?
詞:sought-after
英英釋義:wanted by many people but not easy to get
例句:Yeezy sneakers are one of the most sought-after footwear in the world.
2. 為什么選這個詞?
“sought-after”是個形容詞但狭,來自動詞短語 “seek after”信柿,它的意思和我們前一天學(xué)的 desirable 差不多精盅,表示“受歡迎的”胳施。常常是由于稀少或優(yōu)質(zhì)而備受歡迎宏胯,這個詞經(jīng)秤鸬眨可以在介紹某人和某物時見到。
侃爺(Kanye West)和阿迪達(dá)斯合作的潮流品牌“椰子鞋”(Yeezy)備受追捧肩袍,在許多國家都賣的很火杭棵。我們可以說:
Yeezy sneakers are one of the most sought-after footwear in the world.
NPR 電臺的主持人 Guy Raz 在今年成為了播客歷史上第一個在 Apple Podcast 前 20 排行榜上同時擁有三個電臺節(jié)目的主持人。我們在介紹他的時候就可以說:
Guy Raz is a much sought-after podcaster. He is the only person to ever have three shows simultaneously in Apple’s top 20 podcasts.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中也經(jīng)常用到 sought-after氛赐,比如提到人才時它說:
Talent has become the world's most sought-after commodity, says Adrian Wooldridge.
在提到智利的移民政策時魂爪,它說:
Decisions will be made based on a points system, which favours those with sought-after skills and education.
這句話套用在其他移民國家也非常準(zhǔn)確,比如美國艰管、加拿大滓侍、澳大利亞和新西蘭。
3. 怎樣學(xué)會使用這個詞牲芋?
翻譯為:吃香的撩笆,廣受歡迎的,受追捧的缸浦,搶手的
1)翻譯下面的句子:
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》已經(jīng)成為了備受中國英語學(xué)習(xí)者追捧的閱讀材料夕冲。
(參考翻譯:The Economist has become the most sought-after reading material among Chinese English language learners. )
2)結(jié)合自己的生活、學(xué)習(xí)餐济、工作耘擂、興趣等,想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達(dá)絮姆。先簡要描述這個場景醉冤,再造句秩霍。
