Neil 正在想方設(shè)法解釋 “social media influencer” 這個(gè)說(shuō)法的意思。還好,菲菲可以幫他。但是為什么 Neil 突然有了一個(gè)新的商業(yè)計(jì)劃呢?他為什么要留長(zhǎng)胡子?聽(tīng)他們的對(duì)話,學(xué)習(xí) “social media influencer” 這個(gè)新表達(dá)的意思和用法。
(關(guān)于臺(tái)詞的備注: 請(qǐng)注意這不是廣播節(jié)目的逐字稿件。本文稿可能沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)錄制、編輯過(guò)程中對(duì)節(jié)目做出的改變。)
Feifei
Hi, Neil. 你怎么看起來(lái)一臉愁苦的樣子?
Neil
Err, not really. Just writing a script for Authentic Real English. I’m a bit stuck.
Feifei
你為了寫(xiě)節(jié)目稿子發(fā)愁?先別愁,告訴我你要介紹的表達(dá)是什么?
Neil
Social media influencer.
Feifei
Well, that’s easy.
Neil
Maybe for someone young and trendy like you! Go on then, tell me.
Feifei
Let me talk you through it step by step. 社交媒體 “social media”,你知道吧?
Neil
Of course! Weibo, WeChat, TikTok…
Feifei
A social media influencer is someone who has a lot of followers online – and who is an expert or authority in a particular subject – like photography or cookery or make-up. 在漢語(yǔ)里,我們把這類(lèi)在網(wǎng)上有很多追隨者的社交媒體影響者 “social media influencer” 叫做 “網(wǎng)紅”。
Neil
網(wǎng)紅。OK.
Feifei
網(wǎng)紅們說(shuō)什么、干什么、買(mǎi)什么、吃什么、穿什么都被網(wǎng)民關(guān)注。Which is why we call them ‘social media influencers’. Or simply, ‘influencers’.
Neil
OK, I have a few followers. So if I start, say, growing a long moustache, and all my friends copy me – could you say I was a social media influencer?
Feifei
Umm… I suppose so! And what might happen is the marketing department of a company selling moustache products gets in touch – and pays you to start using their moustache oil?
Neil
OK. I like the sound of this. Grow a moustache and get paid. Let’s listen to some examples.
Examples
Our company was finding it hard to reach new customers aged 16-25. Then we hired a few social media influencers and sales just rocketed.
Kylie Jenner is one of America’s biggest social media influencers. Companies pay her up to a million dollars for a single post!
There’s a lot of debate about whether or not influencers should be open about who is paying them to promote products.
Feifei
這里是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。本集節(jié)目中介紹的表達(dá)是 “social media influencer”。So, Neil, how’s the script going?
Neil
I’m not writing it any more, Feifei. I’m focussing full time on my new business.
Feifei
Ah, I see you’ve grown a moustache. Are you going to post a picture so all your umm… twenty followers can see it and be influenced by your amazing style?
Neil
Don’t worry, I’ve realised I don’t have enough followers, or authority, to influence anyone, Feifei. But I have discovered there’s a gap in the market for organic moustache oil!
Feifei
你真厲害!Neil 自創(chuàng)的有機(jī)面部胡須油 “Neil’s Marvellous Moustache Oil”。
Neil
Nice. Now, I just need to find an influencer to help me with marketing. A hairy influencer.
Feifei
Good luck, Neil!
Feifei and Neil
Bye.
