文化的背景

The term 'Qinglai' (青睐) originates from the story of Ruan Ji, a famous poet from the Jin Dynasty. He would literally roll his eyes to show the whites (baiyan) to people he disliked and look normally (showing the pupils/green) at those he respected. Today, it signifies being the 'apple of someone's eye' or a market favorite.

💡

The 'Passive' Feel

You don't need to say 'by someone.' The 'Bei' (备) here means 'fully,' but it sounds like the passive 'Bei' (被), so it naturally feels like the subject is receiving the love.

💬

Eye Contact Matters

Remember the 'Green Eyes' origin! It's a great party trick to explain that you are literally saying someone is looking at you with their pupils instead of the whites of their eyes.

What It Means

Imagine you walk into a room and everyone's eyes light up. That is the essence of 备受青睐. It means being the 'teacher's pet' of the public or a specific group. The phrase implies a high level of popularity. It is not just about being liked. It is about being chosen above others. You are the star of the show.

How To Use It

You usually place the subject first. Then follow it with 备受青睐. For example, 'This new phone 备受青睐.' It acts like an adjective-verb hybrid. You do not need extra words to say 'by people.' The phrase itself implies that an audience is doing the favoring. It is a great way to sound sophisticated without being stiff.

When To Use It

Use it when discussing trends or popular items. It is perfect for business presentations about successful products. You can use it when talking about a celebrity's new movie. It works well in travel blogs for 'hidden gem' spots. Even in a group of friends, use it to describe the most popular snack. It adds a touch of class to your observation.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use it for things that are just 'okay.' It is for high-level favoritism only. Avoid using it for very negative things that get attention. If a scandal is popular, this is the wrong word. It carries a positive, admiring tone. Also, do not use it for self-praise unless you are joking. It might sound a bit arrogant if you say you are 备受青睐 at a party.

Cultural Background

The 'green' in the phrase refers to the dark part of the eye. In ancient China, showing the whites of your eyes meant you disliked someone. Showing the 'green' (the iris) meant you were looking at them directly with favor. It is a beautiful way to describe looking at someone with love. It shows how much Chinese culture values the 'gaze' of others.

Common Variations

You might hear 深受喜爱 which is more common in daily speech. 广受欢迎 is another cousin that means 'widely welcomed.' However, 备受青睐 feels more elegant. It suggests a certain quality that earns that favor. It is the difference between being 'popular' and being 'highly esteemed.' Use it when you want to impress your listener.

使い方のコツ

This phrase sits in the 'formal to neutral' range. It is highly effective in marketing, journalism, and professional evaluations, but can be used playfully in daily life to emphasize how much something is liked.

💡

The 'Passive' Feel

You don't need to say 'by someone.' The 'Bei' (备) here means 'fully,' but it sounds like the passive 'Bei' (被), so it naturally feels like the subject is receiving the love.

Eye Contact Matters

Remember the 'Green Eyes' origin! It's a great party trick to explain that you are literally saying someone is looking at you with their pupils instead of the whites of their eyes.

⚠️

Don't Overuse

Because it's a bit formal, using it for something trivial like 'I favor this brand of salt' might sound a bit too dramatic.
