sought-after adj.
释义：wanted by many people but not easy to get
“sought-after”是个形容词，来自动词短语 “seek after”，它的意思和我们前一天学的 desirable 差不多，表示“受欢迎的”。常常是由于稀少或优质而备受欢迎，这个词经常可以在介绍某人和某物时见到。
例① 侃爷（Kanye West）和阿迪达斯合作的潮流品牌“椰子鞋”（Yeezy）备受追捧，在许多国家都卖的很火。
Yeezy sneakers are one of the most sought-after footwear in the world.
例② NPR 电台的主持人 Guy Raz 在今年成为了播客历史上第一个在 Apple Podcast 前 20 排行榜上同时拥有三个电台节目的主持人。我们在介绍他的时候就可以说：
Guy Raz is a much sought-after podcaster. He is the only person to ever have three shows simultaneously in Apple’s top 20 podcasts.
例③《经济学人》中也经常用到 sought-after，比如提到人才时它说：
Talent has become the world's most sought-after commodity, says Adrian Wooldridge.
在提到智利的移民政策时，它说：
Decisions will be made based on a points system, which favours those with sought-after skills and education.
这句话套用在其他移民国家也非常准确，比如美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰。
