核心畫面

Picture someone walking into a room and heads turning — not the calm, picture-like kind of good-looking, but something that pulls attention and keeps hold of it. Sexy names that pull. English then lends the same pull to ideas and things: whatever makes people lean in can be called sexy too.

讓人眼睛一亮的東西

把同一股吸力從人身上搬到不是人的東西上:一個題目、一款產品、一份工作能不能抓住別人的注意力,就用 sexy 來說。
