5.语言使用原文:According to the lecture, the professor explained the nostalgia marketing strategy. The first way is to show the products of your company's hold. For instance, before one company sells cans, the younger people can remember how their products look like, and they can sell better. The second way is to let people think and memorize what you want to memorize. For instance, in video games, they can use a camera.
修改后:In the lecture, the professor discussed nostalgia marketing strategy. The first point is that it may not appeal to a wide range of consumers, especially younger ones who have no personal memories of earlier times or products. For example, a beverage company using a 1970s can design might not attract younger consumers who don't remember the original appearance. The second point is that nostalgia marketing might conflict with a company's image if it wants to be seen as modern and innovative. An example given was a video game company whose old advertising images in a new campaign backfired and were mocked on social media. (修改了表达方式,使句子更通顺,同时更准确地反映了讲座内容。)
根据修改建议,回答的修订版本(140词):
In the lecture, the professor discussed two main points about nostalgia marketing strategy and its potential drawbacks. The first point is that nostalgia marketing may not appeal to a wide range of consumers, especially younger ones who have no personal memories of earlier times or products. For example, if a beverage company releases soft drinks in cans with a design similar to cans from the 1970s, it might appeal to people who drank the soda back then but not to younger consumers who don't remember the original appearance. The second point is that nostalgia marketing might conflict with a company's image if it wants to be seen as modern and innovative. An example given was a video game company that used old advertising images in a new campaign for a brand new product, but this strategy backfired, and lots of people made fun of the ads on social media.
