2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）

“appeal”可以作动词也可以作名词使用，作为名词它可以表示“上诉”，“恳求”，不过我们今天要学习的是它作为名词，表示“吸引力” “感染力”的用法。当我们想表达“吸引力” “魅力”时，除了想到用“attraction” “more popular” 造句外，还可以想到用 appeal。

我们想说经典的文学作品有持久的魅力，就可以说：

The classics have timeless appeal.

我们现在常说的“为…打call”，其实也是在说为某人或某物做点事情，让他/它更受欢迎。比如我们在社群中就一直向大家推荐 William Zinsser 的写作圣经 On Writing Well：

Phenomenal English has been broadening the appeal of On Writing Well.
场景：舌尖上的中国。
造句：A Bite of China has been broadening the appeal of Chinese foods.

“appeal”前面也可以加形容词，表明在某一方面的吸引力，比如 commercial/visual/aesthetic appeal，分别指“商业上的/视觉上的/艺术上的吸引力。

比如有些画作，看多了就不觉得它好看了，就可以说：

Some paintings lose their aesthetic appeal over time.
场景：小鲜肉。
造句：莎士比亚。
造句：The masterpieces of William Shakespeare will never lose their appeal over time.
这一期的《经济学人》介绍了澳大利亚的治国之道，在写道为什么有些人选择移民澳洲时，有这样一句：

澳大利亚对他们吸引力主要在于，澳大利亚没有遭受过内战。
