自现象级英语
PRIZE
1. 英英释义：to consider something to be very important and special
例句：Overseas returnees are no longer highly prized by employers.
2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
我们很熟悉“prize”作为名词是“奖品”“奖赏”，其实它也常作为动词使用，表示“珍惜”“青睐”。在一些语境中，我们可以用 prize 替换 value, appreciate, hold dear 等词。
比如“我知道你很重视我们之间的友谊”，就可以说成：
I know that you prize our friendship.
最新一期的《经济学人》在语言专栏 Johnson 中就用到了 prize：
It seems that people prize attitude over expertise.（这句话的意思是说，读者读写作指南时，更看重作者对语言的态度而不是专业知识）
prize A over B 也是个常见表达，表示“更重视 A，而不是 B”。比如我们想说和用哪种方式阅读比较而言，我们应该更重视内容，就可以说成：
We should prize content over the means to read it.
prize 表示“珍惜”“青睐”时，也常常使用被动语态 be prized by。比如我们想说如今“海归”回国找工作时没那么“吃香”了，就可以说：
Overseas returnees are no longer highly prized by employers.
