在一个广告宣传中看到 word of mouth,不了解怎么样理解。
word of mouth 的字面意思是“口头的言语”,你说是在广告宣传材料中看到 word of mouth,那它的意思就是“口碑”。如:
The restaurant does not advertise, but relies on word of mouthfor customers. 这家饭店并没做广告,而是依赖口碑来取得客户。
注:word of mouth 一般与介词 by 连用,表示“通过口碑”,也可以表示“通过口头的形式”。如:
My products aren’t based on advertising hype, they sell by word of mouth. 我的商品销售靠的不是天花乱坠的广告宣传,而是好的口碑。
Most of our products are sold by word of mouth rather than by advertising. 大家大部分商品都是靠口碑而非广告供应的。
The message was delivered by word of mouth. 这个消息是口头传达的。
Much of this information is picked up by word of mouth from previous students. 其中不少信息是以前的学生讲出才得知的。
