形容詞buzzworthy屬於非正式用詞,近年常見於北美英語中。
Buzzworthy由buzz(嗡嗡聲;騷動;傳聞)和worthy(值得的)組合而成,英文釋義為:Likely to arouse the interest and attention of the public, either by media coverage or word of mouth(通過媒體報導或口口相傳的形式,有可能引發公眾興趣和吸引公眾注意力的)。簡言之,可以理解為「引發關注的、吸引眼球的」,與另一個形容詞eye-catching意思有幾分相近。
來看幾個例子:
four of this year's most buzzworthy young stars
今年最受關注的「小鮮肉」中的四位
The year was full of buzzworthy red carpet fashion moments.
今年的紅毯上出現了不少吸引眼球的時尚瞬間。
