口语积累
1. 众筹 crowdfund
crowd就是“众”,fund做名词是“基金”,做动词就是“筹”,即“为……提供资金”。跟fund类似表示 “为……提供资金”的词还有 finance。会采用“众筹”这种方式的一般都是 “初创企业”或“创业公司”,英文可以说 venture,或 startup。

秦桧被认为是历史上的奸臣,我们可以说他是一个traitor(背叛者,卖国贼),还可以说 treacherous这个形容词来形容。
在口语218期 中我们还介绍过“反面人物”可以用 villain。而岳飞我们可以说他是一个 heroic general(爱国将军)。
形容秦桧“ 坏”,我们可以用 wicked(邪恶的,缺德的)、 evil(凶恶的,邪恶的)、vicious(凶残的,恶毒的)、despicable(卑鄙的)等来描述,此外还可以用infamous(臭名昭著的)来形容他。

4. 下架 take sth off the shelves
产品“下架”可以很形象地用take sth off the shelves,“从架子上拿下来”来表示, 但是注意, fly/jump off the shelves是指“卖得很快,很受欢迎”, hit the shelves即“上架,上市”。“下架”还可以用 recall(召回)或 withdraw(撤回)来表示。
The product has been taken off shelves due to safety concerns.
