“割韭菜”英文怎么说?

from 每天5分钟,轻松学口语

“割韭菜”最一开始出现的是在金融区域,韭菜指金融圈的基层群众,也就是一些投资散户。这些散户被其他所谓的专家忽悠买股票、理财等金融产品,最终散户以赔钱为结局,庄家盈利为目的,然后周而复始的现象,那这就称为割韭菜。CNN在一篇报道中就把“割韭菜”翻译为,be picked like leeks.并解释为:Its a self-deprecating(自黑) term implying they are being played for suckers, just faceless vegetables harvestedby big companies and the government.其中“being played for suckers”与割韭菜意思很像,都有被愚弄、被骗的意思。①I was played for a sucker.我被割韭菜了。②How could you play me for a sucker?你怎么能割我的韭菜?此外,sucker sb into sth这个表达也非常常见,它表示:骗(某人)做…例如:We were suckered into doing the job for free.我们受骗白白干了那活儿。● “薅羊毛”英文表达●如果从字面层面翻译,就很容易被译成suck out the wool 不是但很明显,这又是一个典型的中式英语,而薅羊毛正确的理解是“用最便宜的价格买东西”,所以英文可以说:Get the Best deal为什么这么用呢?因为“deal”有交易的意思:举个例子I wanted them to get a fair deal. 我希望他们得到一个公平的交易。在商场里面被贴上“the best deal”标签的商品,就表明此时的成交价格是最合适的。举个例子To find the best deal, the application must collect information from several elements. 要找到最合适的价格,应用程序必须从几个元素搜集信息。相对应的我们把那些乐于薅羊毛的人称作“羊毛党”,它的英文可以这样表达:econnoisseurEconnoisseur 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有些难记,你也可以直接用“deal-hunter”来表达,但是比较口语化,书面表达还是建议用Econnoisseur.
