Its exact meaning varies across philosophy, literature, art, and aesthetics. 🌏 Context Note｜语境小注如果讨论的是“看起来像没化妆”“自然脸”“自然审美”，日常英语里 natural look / natural aesthetic 往往比 naturalism 更自然。 When talking about makeup or beauty, natural look or natural aesthetic is usually more natural than the academic term naturalism. 💬 Example｜例句为什么现在很多妆容明明用了很多产品，却追求一种“自然”的效果？Why do so many makeup styles use lots of products to create a “natural” look? 3. 青春伤痛文学 · Youth Melodrama / Adolescent Angst Literature青春伤痛文学qīng chūn shāng tòng wén xué Youth melodrama / Adolescent angst literature 🇨🇳 一类以青春期的爱情、孤独、成长、失去和情感创伤为重要主题的文学或流行文化作品。🇬🇧 Literature or popular fiction centered on teenage love, loneliness, growing up, loss, and emotional pain. 🌏 Culture Note｜文化小注“青春伤痛文学”是很有中文流行文化语境的说法，并没有一个完全对应的固定英文词。Adolescent angst 很接近其中“青春期迷茫、痛苦、敏感”的感觉。 There is no exact English equivalent. Adolescent angst captures the emotional intensity, confusion, and suffering often associated with the genre. 💬 Example｜例句为什么小时候觉得特别感人的青春伤痛文学，长大以后再看可能会觉得有点尴尬？Why can the youth melodramas we found deeply moving as teenagers feel a little embarrassing when we revisit them as adults?

5. 可怜 · Pitiful / Poor可怜kě lián Pitiful / Poor / Feel sorry for someone/ˈpɪtɪfəl/ · /pɔː(r)/ 🇨🇳 可以形容一个人处境令人同情，也可以表示“为某人感到难过”。🇬🇧 Used to describe someone whose situation makes you feel sympathy, or to express that you feel sorry for them. 💬 Example｜例句被别人觉得“可怜”，有时候反而会让人不舒服。Being seen as “pitiful” can sometimes make a person uncomfortable. 6. 直播 · Livestream直播zhí bō Livestream / Live streaming/ˈlaɪvstriːm/ · /ˈlaɪv ˌstriːmɪŋ/ 🇨🇳 通过网络实时向观众播放视频或音频内容。🇬🇧 Broadcasting video or audio online in real time for an audience. 💬 Example｜例句现在很多人会通过直播卖东西。A lot of people now sell products through livestreaming. 7. 落伍的人 · Someone Who Is Out of Date落伍的人luò wǔ de rén Someone who is out of date / Behind the times Behind the times /bɪˌhaɪnd ðə ˈtaɪmz/ 🇨🇳 跟不上新的技术、潮流、观念或社会变化的人。🇬🇧 Someone who has not kept up with new technology, trends, ideas, or social changes. 💬 Example｜例句如果一个人不用最新的社交媒体，他就是“落伍的人”吗？If someone doesn’t use the latest social media platforms, does that make them behind the times?

12. 土味 · Tacky / Cheesy土味tǔ wèi Tacky / Cheesy / Unfashionable/ˈtæki/ · /ˈtʃiːzi/ 🇨🇳 形容某种风格显得俗气、过时、不够时髦；但在互联网语境中，“土味”也可能带有幽默、自嘲甚至刻意追求的意味。🇬🇧 Describes something seen as unfashionable, cheesy, or lacking sophistication, though online it can also be humorous, ironic, or deliberately embraced. 🌏 Culture Note｜文化小注“土味”不完全等于 tacky。它经常牵涉城乡、阶层、时尚和品味判断，所以说一个东西“土”，其实也可能是在表达“什么样的审美才算高级”。 Tu wei is more than simply “tacky.” It can reflect judgments about class, urban versus rural culture, fashion, and who gets to define “good taste.” 💬 Example｜例句我们说一个东西“土”的时候，到底是在嫌弃什么？When we call something “tacky,” what are we actually judging?
