欢迎各位回到 “失落词典”！今天我们要谈论的关键词是：人设。
Welcome back to our show, dear listeners! This word, originally used in the world of animation, fiction, and comics, refers to the crafting of a character's physical appearance and personality traits. However, in today's context, it is often used to describe the public image that celebrities create for themselves - a positive, likeable persona designed to draw in fans. Just as packaging is to a product, it is to a star, aiding in attracting and retaining fans. Some common types include foodie, straight shooter, and top student.
In English, the closest counterpart to this word is 'public persona' or 'personal brand'. Just like the original word, these phrases refer to the cultivated image or identity that a celebrity presents to the world. For example, "The actor has a 'guy next door' personal brand that has endeared him to audiences worldwide."
Expanding on this concept, let's learn some related terms. 'Image crafting' is a term referring to the deliberate shaping of one's public image, usually done by celebrities. Another term, 'personal branding', refers to the practice of people marketing themselves and their careers as brands. For example, "She's very focused on personal branding, always ensuring she presents her 'girl next door' image consistently."
To sum up, 'public persona' reflects the strategy behind a celebrity's public image or personal brand. It's a powerful tool in the world of entertainment, akin to how compelling packaging sells a product. Similarly, 'public persona', 'image crafting', and 'personal branding' encapsulate how one curates their image, navigating their career or public life. A well-crafted 'public persona' or personal brand can have a lasting impact on one's success, making it an essential aspect of modern celebrity culture.
