DESIRABLE
1. 英英释义：worth having and wanted by most people
例句：Hainan is a desirable place for many northeasterners to visit during the winter months.
2. 为什么选这个词？
“desirable”是“desire”的形容词形式，意思是“值得拥有的” “理想的”，是一个口语和写作中都能用到的高频词汇。我们想表示“一份好工作”“一个好结果”时，除了可以用最常见的 good 外，还可以用 desirable，比如“a desirable job/outcome”。
每年要过年的时候，许多东北人都会去海南省避冬，我就可以说： Hainan is a desirable place for many northeasterners to visit during the winter months.
美国畅销书作者马尔科姆•格拉德威尔在 David and Goliath 中提到过一个概念，叫“desirable difficulty”，有些困难和障碍其实是可以帮助我们成长的，正如孟子所说：“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，饿其体肤……”我们可以总结书中的话来解释这个概念，比如： The idea of“desirable difficulty” suggests that not all difficulties are negative. Some difficulties
turn out to be desirable.
《经济学人》在 2018 圣诞特刊中就有这样一段话用到了 desirable： The mainstream view is that desirable men are gao-fu-shuai—tall, rich and handsome. And the ideal woman is bai-fu-mei—pale-skinned, rich and beautiful.
desirbale 和 ideal 在这里意思相近，都可以理解为“理想的”，可以放在一起记忆。
个人拓展：
释义：something that is desirable has qualities that make you want it
搭配：be /seem a highly/ very desirable location/ job/ outcome/ partner/ man/ woman/ feature/ apartment
It is highly/ hardly desirable for sb/sth to do sth
//regard/ feel/see /think sth as desirable
背诵：
The main stream view is that desirable men are gao-fu-shuai—tall, rich and handsome. And the ideal woman is bai-fu-mei—pale-skinned, rich and beautiful.
Good pay and interesting work make this a very desirable job.
A good heart is, I believe, much more desirable than education or brains. —L. Frank Baum
