自现象级英语 THE ENVY OF 1. 英英释义：to be something that other people admire and want to have very much  例句：France has a film industry that is the envy of Europe.  2. 为什么选这个词？  “envy”是可以是动词也可以是名词，意思都是“忌妒”。它作名词时有个常见、好用、地道的用法 the envy of，意思是“另......羡慕、望尘莫及”，of 后面一般接的是同类事物，比如其他国家、其他同类产品等。我们可以使用 the envy of 替换 admire, admirable 等词。比如，法国有令全欧洲羡慕的电影业，我们可能会写成：  France's film industry is admired throughout Europe.  我们也可以用 the envy of 来改写：  France has a film industry that is  the envy of  Europe. 牙买加在 100 米、200 米、400 米短跑项目上让其他国家望尘莫及，我们就可以说：  Jamaica's sprints are  the  envy  of the world.

词：desirable  英英释义：worth having and wanted by most people  “desirable”是“desire”的形容词形式，意思是“值得拥有的” “理想的”，是一个口语和写作中都能用到的高频词汇。我们想表示“一份好工作”“一个好结果”时，除了可以用最常见的 good 外，还可以用 desirable，比如“ a desirable job/outcome”。 让我想到 decent 每年要过年的时候，许多东北人都会去海南省避冬，我就可以说：  Hainan is a desirable place for many north easterners to visit during the winter months.  Foreign countries, such as America, The United Kingdom and Australia are desirable places for many Chinese tourists to visit during the high seasons in China.美国畅销书作者马尔科姆•格拉德威尔在 David and Goliath 中提到过一个概念，叫“desirable difficulty”，有些困难和障碍其实是可以帮助我们成长的，正如孟子所说：“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，饿其体肤……”我们可以总结书中的话来解释这个概念，比如：  The idea of “desirable difficulty” suggests that not all difficulties are negative. Some difficulties turn out to be desirable. 《经济学人》在 2018 圣诞特刊中就有这样一段话用到了 desirable：  The mainstream view is that desirable men are gao-fu-shuai—tall, rich and handsome. And the ideal woman is bai-fu-mei— pale-skinned, rich and beautiful.  desirbale 和 ideal 在这里意思相近，都可以理解为“理想的”，可以放在一起记忆。 1）使用《牛津英语搭配词典》查“desirable”，了解它作为形容词时的常用搭配。 be, seem, become ～  .eminently, extremely, highly, very ～ 特别理想；特别合意；非常合意；非常理想:翻译： 这个解决方案理论上来说非常可取，不过实际操作起来困难重重。  The solution project is theoretically desirable but is practically difficult. 参考翻译：The solution is highly desirable in theory but problematic in reality.造句： 情景：在中国旅游旺季时，人们更加愿意去国外旅游。 Foreign countries, such as America, The United Kingdom and Australia are desirable places for many Chinese tourists to visit during the high seasons in China.
