用词对比
👉penchant
[pɒnʃɒn, pentʃənt]
[N-SING: N for n/-ing] If someone has a penchant for something, they have a special liking for it or a tendency to do it.[FORMAL]
//...a stylish woman with a penchant for dark glasses...
He had a penchant for playing jokes on people.
《经济学人》这里用了一个penchant来表达“芬兰人的热衷”，比自己的后置现在分词引导的从句简洁很多。
👉这里的“追踪”，明显用follow更合适An event, activity, or period of time thatfollowsa particular thing happens or comes after that thing, at a later time（syn: come after)。
👉identify是我自己在造句的时候没有想到的，但明显有了identify (If you identify something, you discover or notice its existence.)这个词，句意表达得更加完整了，比简单一个介词for意思更明确。
自己用这个表达造的句子
Whatever its flaws, the box office for Wolf Warrior 2 is a good example of the Chinese penchant for entertaining action movies. Excelling in delivering adrenaline charged, brilliantly choreographed, and stunt filled action, WW2 has ranked the top at box office in its home territory, overtaking Stephen Chow’s The Mermaid.
