翻譯公司帶你學(xué)雙語(yǔ)知識：“麻豆”是什么

今天你網(wǎng)購了嗎？這句話(huà)似乎已經(jīng)成為辦公室員工們交流時(shí)最常說(shuō)的一句話(huà)。衣服、鞋子、零食、電器等等都可以從網(wǎng)上購買(mǎi)。這種購物方式為我們帶來(lái)了很多便利，而同時(shí)也創(chuàng )造了不少新的就業(yè)機會(huì )。我們今天要說(shuō)的“麻豆”就是在這個(gè)環(huán)境下出現的。

Cyber model, or ma dou in Chinese, is an emerging occupation amid a boom in the country's online shopping. Cyber models do not strut the catwalk. They pose for pictures that get posted online for stores to showcase their products.

網(wǎng)絡(luò )模特，又稱(chēng)“麻豆”，是隨著(zhù)國內網(wǎng)購潮流的興起而出現的一個(gè)新興職業(yè)。她們工作時(shí)不用像專(zhuān)業(yè)模特那樣走貓步，而是為網(wǎng)店產(chǎn)品的展示做圖片模特。

To become a cyber model, you don't necessarily have to be tall and thin with long legs like the professionals. Having a pretty face and being able to pose vivaciously like a “girl next door” are most important.

做“麻豆”不一定要像職業(yè)模特那樣腿部細長(cháng)、身材高挑；有張漂亮臉蛋，然后能夠擺出活潑可愛(ài)的“鄰家女孩”造型才是最重要的。

The models are mostly college students or white-collar workers, whose employers are mainly small online clothing stores operating on a shoestring budget.

選擇做“麻豆”的多數是大學(xué)生或白領(lǐng)，而她們的雇主則主要是小本經(jīng)營(yíng)的網(wǎng)絡(luò )服裝店老板。
