《English Translation》
刘娜: Junxi, have you noticed? Some internet buzzwords are popular for a few months and then no one uses them anymore.
俊熙: Yes! It feels like they have a 'shelf life.' Once they expire, using them feels a bit awkward.
刘娜: Why does that happen?
俊熙: They spread too fast. Everyone jumps on the trend, and people get tired of them quickly.
刘娜: Right, and new memes keep appearing, so the old ones get replaced.
俊熙: Also, when words are used too much in ads and marketing, they become boring.
刘娜: As a blogger, how do you use buzzwords naturally?
俊熙: I use them sparingly and put them where they fit best, instead of using them in every sentence.
刘娜: Well said. Language is like the tide: it comes quickly and goes quickly too.
俊熙: Then let me sum it up: no matter how popular a meme is, don't force it. Using it just right is what makes it classy!
