  BIY:buy-it-yourself的日常口语学习名词

  大家可能会说“当然自己买啦终日让别人付账这还像话么!”切实,BIY的意思并不是完全如大家所想的那么形象,咱们先来看一下它的英文意思跟具体阐明吧:

  BIY:Purchasing the materials required for a repair or renovation that one has hired a tradesperson or other professional to perform.

  China's new middle class tend to buy their new apartments as shells, and then kit them out themselves. It is less DIY, however, than BIY: Buy-it-Yourself. New homes need fitting out from floor to ceiling, a job that only professionals can do.

 

 

  从上面的内容中,日常口语学习“BIY”所谓的“buy-it-yourself”是专门指装修(decorate)屋宇时用的。这个新词看来就是来自于中国呢,就比喻当初的一些80后的年轻人,比较倾向于本人购买装潢材料,自己着手装修屋宇一样的日常口语学习解析。
