比喻机构、基金、大户抛售股票导致股票市场（或个股）大跌，为其迎来新的建仓机会，再重新在低位建仓，如此循环波段操作，获取利润。
现在年轻人也用这个词来表达感觉自己的时间、精力、体力、金钱、甚至智力不断被某方收割。
我们今天来看看
如何翻译“割韭菜”？！
对于没有相关文化背景的读者来说，直译可能不太容易理解，因此需要一定补充解释，我们来看一个翻译例子：
...the phrase ge jiucai, meaning “cutting leeks” — a reference to investment newcomers who rush in at the top of the market only to be scythed down.
scythe
V-T If you scythe grass or grain, you cut it with a scythe. 用长柄大镰刀割(草或庄稼)
Two men were attempting to scythe the long grass.
两个男人正试图割掉疯长的草。
再来看“外交部发言人办公室”如何翻译
很显然，在美国军火商、粮食商纷纷借乌克兰危机大发战争财之际，美国能源商也没有掉队，割起了自己盟友国家的“韭菜”。
Apparently, just like the arms and grains dealers, energy traders in the US are certainly not going to miss this opportunity to turn the crisis into a gold mine, as they make exorbitant profits off the US’s allies.
然而，欧洲老百姓要面对的却是电价飙涨、取暖温度降低、甚至有组织停电等考验。
Meanwhile, ordinary Europeans are paying the price - soaring electricity bills, lower heating temperatures and even organized blackouts.
这里更侧重于传达“割韭菜”背后的获利含义；“make exorbitant profits off”的意思就是：从某个行为或事件中赚取非常高、过度的利润，通常暗示这些利润是通过不太公平或过度的手段获得的。
【例】The country's poor record for attracting foreign companies to its market to boost related industries, only to later exploit and make exorbitant profits off those companies, has become widely known.
