1. 1跟風產品(帶貶義,看別人成功才跟著出的同類商品;商界也直接說 me-too。不是「Me Too 運動」)

    A me-too product is one a company begins to sell only after it has seen that other companies are already doing well with the same kind of thing. It is not a proud word. If a drink or a phone becomes a hit, and six other companies quickly sell almost the same thing with a new logo, those later products are me-too products. People in business use it to show : the company did not invent much, and did not take the first risk; it just followed. You can also hear me-too about films, songs, or apps that copy a success. The tone is informal even when the speaker is in a meeting. Though actually, copying a successful thing is how a lot of shops work, so the phrase is a judgment, not a law. This older business meaning is also easy to mix up with a later use of the same little words — that later use is a different story.

    me-too 形容的是跟風產品,就是公司看到別家同類商品賣得好,才開始賣的東西。例如某款飲料大賣,之後有六家公司很快推出幾乎一樣的東西,只換了新 logo,那些後來的產品就是 me-too 產品。商界用這個詞,帶著不以為然的意味,表示那家公司沒有創新,也沒有冒第一個風險,只是跟著走。它也可以用來說跟著成功作品模仿的電影、歌曲或應用程式。

    這個用法語氣是口語的,就算在會議上也一樣。不過跟著成功的東西做,其實是很多店家的做法,所以這個詞只是一種評價,不是什麼規定。另外,後來還有一個講 Me Too 運動的用法,指性騷擾受害者站出來發聲的社會運動,那是另一回事。

組成me + too: “I want that as well.” The product is the company saying “me too” after someone else has already succeeded.
