2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
我们很熟悉“conscious”可以作为形容词表示“注意到的”“意识到的”，它其实也经常被用作后缀，和名词搭配使用表示“注重…的”。这种写法可以让我们的表达更简洁，也可以在一些语境中替换 be conscious of，to care about，to pay attention to 等类似表达。
海底捞以服务出色而闻名，受到许多注重服务体验的食客的青睐。这时就可以说：
Service-conscious customers are in favor of Haidilao, a well-known Sichuan-based hotpot chain.
说到买车，对追求性价比、囊中羞涩的人来说，可能买二手车更划算。这时就可以说：
A used car is perhaps the best option for value-conscious buyers.
《经济学人》中也经常这样用 -conscious，下面这些句子都可以直接背下来：
While younger Chinese are increasingly health-conscious, they seem to brush off regular hotpot-hygiene scandals.（写火锅时用到了“health-conscious”，表示中国的年轻一代越来越注重健康）
The rise of social media has made young people more body-conscious, reluctant to display anything less than perfect abs. （写社交媒体时用到了“body-conscious”，表示社交媒体让我们更加注意自己的身材，如果身材不好就不愿意发照片）
The firm seems to have cracked selling to the new Indian middle class, which is intensely price-conscious, rather than only to the rich in big cities. （写到印度超市时用到了“price-conscious”，这里用来形容印度中产阶级的消费特点，比较精打细算）
