對著現在風向的(形容詞)
這是核心畫面直接的用法:東西、地方或人正對著現在的風向。
adjective · B1
Following the newest fashions, styles or ideas. You can use it about a thing, a place or a person, and it is an informal word.
時髦的/趕流行的
Fashion moves like wind: it blows one way this season and another way next. Trendy means turned the way the wind is blowing right now. The word is about the direction, not the quality — which is why the same word can sound like praise from one speaker and a small dig from another, and why it always carries a hint that this will pass.
From trend + -y. Trend is the direction something is moving in, and -y means having that quality — so the word literally says "of the current direction".
字面上是 trend(潮流、風向)加 -y(帶有那個性質的),所以直譯就是「有風向味的」。這也解釋了為什麼它形容的從來不是東西本身好不好,而是它有沒有對著現在的風。

一直轉身去對風向的人(名詞)
