Definition in Chinese
用于说明商品标价被直接降低的促销表达，可作动词短语与数字搭配（如“直降五百元”），侧重于标示上的减幅而非复杂的优惠流程。yòng yú shuō míng shāng pǐn biāo jià bèi zhí jiē jiàng dī de cù xiāo biǎo dá kě zuò dòng cí duán yǔ yǔ shù zì dā pèi rú zhí jiàng wú bǎi yuán cè zhòng yú biāo shì shàng de jiǎn fú ér fēi fù zá de yōu huì liú chéng
Word origin
直 (zhí, "direct") + 降 (jiàng, "lower") forms a compact promotional expression for lowering a displayed price without describing a complicated discount process.
Usage tips
- 直降 (zhíjiàng, "direct price cut") states a fixed amount removed from a marked price, while an English discount often gives a percentage, so the number that follows is a sum of money.
