李佳琦：骗子！Oh, My God！| ​外刊精读

Li has built his reputation on being the nation’s personal shopper: a source of trustworthy advice on what — and what not — to buy online. Six evenings a week, he hosts a livestream in which he presents a selection of items he’s chosen to endorse, ranging from makeup to million-dollar rings. Then, he yells his favorite catchphrase: “Buy it!”

It’s a simple formula, but it’s become appointment viewing for young Chinese. Tonight, more than 10 million people have tuned in to watch Li’s show on Taobao Live — a livestream channel linked to Alibaba’s e-commerce platform Taobao. On a good night, he can attract 10 times that figure.

His break into social media stardom came almost by accident. In late 2016, L’Oréal began holding auditions for staff members to become online hosts demonstrating beauty tips to viewers via livestream. Li entered, and within a few months he’d been selected and had moved to Shanghai to begin his new role.

At the time, livestream channels like Taobao Live were brand new and struggling to gain traction. But Li stuck with it, and he began to develop a talent for grabbing people’s attention. He didn’t simply present new products; he gushed over them, often blurting out his favorite English phrase: “Oh my god!”

He also had an eye-catching sales technique: Rather than simply trying out new lipsticks on his hands, he’d also apply them directly to his lips. His viewers loved it. Many began referring to him as the “lipstick king,” and Li embraced the moniker. During one early show, he tried on 380 different lipsticks over the course of six hours.

But as his status has grown, so has the expectation to be a positive role model. Last year, Li endorsed agricultural goods from communities in rural China, raising more than 200 million yuan toward their poverty-alleviation efforts. He also promoted products from the central city of Wuhan, to help the city’s economy recover after its COVID-19 epidemic.

glare of eight spotlights, Li Jiaqi waves manically at the camera as he launches into yet another marathon broadcast. “Hello, everyone! Here we are!” he shouts.上海——站在八盏耀眼的聚光灯下，李佳琦兴奋地向镜头挥手致意，开始另一场马拉松式的直播。“大家好！我们来啦！”他喊道。

The 29-year-old is almost unheard of overseas, but in China he’s a

bona fide megastar. He has an online following to rival pop star Harry Styles, a string of movie and TV appearances to his name, and a bulging list of brand partnerships. Even his dog — a white bichon named Never — has her own reality show.这位29岁的年轻人在海外几乎闻所未闻，但在中国，他家喻户晓。他的粉丝数量与流行歌星哈里·斯泰尔斯（Harry Styles）比肩，他拍过一系列的电影，参加过很多电视节目，还有大量的品牌合作伙伴。甚至他的狗——一只名叫Never的白色比熊——也有自己的真人秀节目。

a. SHANGHAI — Standing under the blinding glare of eight spotlights（状语）, Li Jiaqi（主语）waves（谓语）manically at the camera（状语）as he launches into yet another marathon broadcast（as引导的状语从句）. “Hello, everyone! Here（系动词）we（主语）are（系动词）!” he（主语）shouts（谓语）.

b. The 29-year-old（主语）is almost unheard of（谓语）overseas（地点状语）, but in China（地点状语）he

He（主语）has（谓语）an online following（宾语）to rival pop star Harry Styles（定语）, a string of movie and TV appearances to his name（并列宾语）, and a bulging list of brand partnerships（并列宾语）. Even his dog（主语）— a white bichon（主语的同位语） named Never（过去分词作后置定语，修饰a white bichon） — has（谓语）her own reality show（宾语）.② 写作表达：

a. 在写作中，我们常用

sincere表示“真诚的”，今天学的bona fide [ˈbəʊnə ˈfaɪdɪ] 也可以表示“真诚的”。例：We are happy to donate to

bona fide charitable causes.我们很乐意向真正的慈善事业捐赠。

竞争”一般会想到compete，今天学到的rival [ˈraɪvəl] 用作动词，也可以表示“竞争”，英文释义为：If you say that one thing rivals another, you mean that they are both of the same standard or quality. 与…相匹敌例：Cassette recorders cannot rival the sound quality of CDs.盒式磁带录音机在音质上无法与CD相媲美。

compete: 普通用词，含义广泛。既可指体育活动等活动中争取优胜的相互竞争，也可指为了自己的利益与他人竞争。例：Hardware shops are

be brimming with，例如：The team is brimming with confidence after two straight wins in the tournament.锦标赛连胜两场后，这支队伍充满自信。e. 在写作时，“

骤增”不要只会写a dramatic increase或者a sharp increase了哦。bulge也可以表示“骤增”的意思。此外，mount、jump、explode、shoot up也可以表示该意思。例如：

…a

bulge in aircraft sales.…飞机销量的骤增。With just hours to go before Phoenix hits the Martian atmosphere, pressure

mounts.
还有几个小时凤凰号将进入火星大气层，人们压力骤增。China, he says, is an example where the number of diabetes cases has

：Even his dog — a white bichon named Never — has her own reality show.这里涉及到了同位语的翻译方法，我们在之前的文章中提到过两次啦，你还记得吗？（不记得话，快点击蓝字速速复习一下哦）

④ 生词解析：

glare [ɡlɛə] 用作名词，表示Glare is very bright light that is difficult to look at. 刺眼的光例：…the glare of a car’s headlights.…汽车前灯刺眼的强光。

It’s a simple formula, but it’s become appointment viewing for young Chinese. Tonight, more than 10 million people

② 写作句型：

a. 在写作和翻译中，“调整”不要只会用adjust了哦，今天所学have tuned in to用作动词词组，也可以表示If your radio or television is tuned to a particular channel or broadcasting station, you are listening to or watching the programmes being broadcast by that station. 调整 (频道或频率)例：A small colour television

was tuned to an afternoon soap opera.一台小彩电被调到了一个午后肥皂剧频道。

His break into social media stardom came almost by accident.

Li entered, and within a few months he’d been selected and had moved to Shanghai to begin his new role.他成为社交媒体明星几乎是偶然的。2016年末，欧莱雅开始为员工举行试镜，试图寻找在线主持人，通过直播向观众展示美容技巧。李佳琦参选并在几个月后被选中，于是他搬到了上海，开始了他新的职业生涯。

At the time, livestream channels like Taobao Live were

brand new and struggling to gain traction. But Li stuck with it, and he began to develop a talent for grabbing people’s attention. He didn’t simply present new products; he gushed over them, often blurting out his favorite English phrase: “Oh my god!”当时，像淘宝直播这样的直播频道是前所未有的，并非很受欢迎。但李佳琦坚持了下来，并开始培养吸引人们注意力的才能。他不仅仅是简单地介绍新产品；他滔滔不绝，经常脱口而出他最喜欢的英语短语：“Oh my god！”

He also had an eye-catching sales

technique: Rather than simply trying out new lipsticks on his hands, he’d also apply them directly to his lips. His viewers loved it. Many began referring to him as the “lipstick king,” and Li embraced the moniker. During one early show, he tried on 380 different lipsticks over the course of six hours.他还有一个吸引眼球的销售技巧：试用新口红时，他不仅仅在手上试色，而是直接涂在嘴唇上。他的观众喜欢这样的展现方式。许多人开始把他称为“口红大王”，而李佳琦欣然接受了这个称呼。在早期的一场节目中，他在六个小时内试用了380种不同的口红。
