淄博烧烤成功出圈,连带着淄博这座城市也火了,仅仅不到一个月的时间,旅客数量就不断地在刷新最高记录,淄博也成为五一假期热门到达地之一。
Global Times 中有篇“淄博烧烤”的报道,其中第一段是个非常好用的作文开头模板,今天和大家分享一下:
"Zibo barbecue" nowadays is a buzzword probably known by more and more Chinese people, as the former industrial base in East China's Shandong Province made an about-face, becoming the hottest travel destination in the country in about a month or so. 
如今,“淄博烧烤”已成为一个热门词汇,被越来越多的中国人所熟知。淄博位于中国东部省份山东省,这个旧工业基地在短短一个月内迅速转型,成为全国最热门的旅游目的地。
buzzword 一词起源于20世纪40年代,最初是指快速、激烈地发出声响的蜜蜂簇,现在是指某个特定时间内广泛使用的“时髦术语、流行语”,相当于 popular wordsfashionable phrase,比如最近大火的“ChatGPT”就是一个 buzzword.
about-face 源于军事术语,其中 about 是准备动作,face 是执行动作,合起来指“向后转”,现在表示意见、计划、行为的“彻底改变”,名词,可以和 U-turnreversalturnaround 等词替换。
我们可以从这段话中提炼出一个很好用的写作模板:
