正值换季,各大美妆博主和明星们都在通过社交媒体给粉丝“种草”各种爱用产品。
“种草”用英语该如何表达?快来一起来学习一下吧⬇️
种草
在互联网时代,“种草”一词不再指传统意义上的植树种草了,这里的“种草”是指安利一件商品,激发人们的购买欲望,即 the desire to buy a particular product or experience something(想要购买某件商品或体验某件事的欲望); 或influencing, or being influenced to long for a particular product or experience something(向别人推荐某样东西,或者被别人推荐后想要购买某样东西或体验某件事)。
用英语表达的话,我们可以用:
1. really interested in
例句:
Previously, if I had been really interested in a book, I would race from page to page, eager to know what came next.
在这之前,如果我迷上了一本书,我会一页一页的朝前翻,急于想知道下文的究竟。
2. long for sth
例句:
He longs for something new after graduation.
他毕业之后对一些新的东西很心水。

安利
自己种草的东西自然要向周围人“安利”了。那么,“安利”的英语又是怎么说呢?
1. recommend推荐;介绍
If someone recommends a person or thing to you, they suggest that you would find that person or thing good or useful.
例句:
I strongly recommend Kung Pao Chicken - it's delicious.
我强烈安利宫保鸡丁,这道菜非常可口。
I have just spent a holiday there and would recommend it to everyone.
我刚刚在那里度过假,很想把它安利给每一个人。
2. advertise 给……打广告
例句:
Stop advertising anything about your idol.
别再安利你的偶像了。
当然,用recommend这个词,语气还算是比较客观,而另一个有强烈推荐意味,甚至是诱导性,或是“洗脑”式的推荐时,可以用coerce。
coerce 强制;胁迫;迫使
If you coerce someone into doing something, you make them do it, although they do not want to.
例句:
Clark had somehow been able to coerce Jenny into doing whatever he told her to do.
不知是用什么办法,克拉克总能让珍妮对他言听计从。
具体到某些情景下的推荐,可以这么表示:
This jacket is www.58yuanyou.coma must-buy.
这件夹克是个“种草单品”(必买品)。
Have you watched the new perioddrama? It's a must-see!
你看过那部新出的古装剧吗?这部剧必看!
“长草”“狂草”“拔草”
除了“种草”之外,你知道“长草”“狂草”和“拔草”分别是指什么意思吗?
