be picked like leeks

这是直译的方法，老外没有这个说法，

后面CNN又解释了一句：

It's a self-deprecating term implying

they are being played for suckers,

just faceless vegetables harvested

by big companies and the government.

self-deprecating意思是自黑

being played for suckers

与“割韭菜”有异曲同工之妙。

它的意思是

to consider or treat one as stupid,

naive, or gullible and

try to exploit it.

被骗，被愚弄

I was played for a sucker.

我被割韭菜了。

“薅羊毛”英文怎么说？

薅羊毛意思是：用最便宜的价格买东西

英文可以说：

Get the Best deal

Deal 有成交意思

商场打折

贴上the best deal 标签的商品，

表明是最合适的成交价格。

“羊毛党”对应英文的这个单词：

econnoisseur

例句：

Econnoisseur is one who insists on the highest quality at the lowest price.

坚持以最低的价格买到最高品质商品的精明消费者。

如果你觉得这个单词太难

羊毛党也可以用：

deal-hunter来表达

hunter=找.....的人

Deal hunter找最低优惠价的人。

“抢购”可不能直译“抢”！

抢劫的抢

=rob：rob the bank抢银行

抢夺的抢

=snatch: snatch my bag 抢我的包

抢购的意思是

抢先购买, 比速度

英文snap up来表示

Snap在做名词的时候

有抢拍的照片的意思

用这个意思联想snap up 就很好理解了

例句

All the best bargains were snapped up within hours

所有超低价的商品都在几小时内抢购一空了。返回搜狐，查看更多
