在注意力經濟時代，標題成了爭奪眼球的關鍵，但內容其實嚴重不符。不過，讀者們卻像一條條小魚一樣，一次次被誘餌引誘上鉤，遇到噱頭十足的標題，還是照點不誤。這是為什么呢？

Clickbait is a link on a website designed to draw your attention and make you click!
“點擊誘餌”指的是網站上的鏈接，用以吸引你的注意，讓你點擊。

As we said, 'bait' is something used to attract fish when you are trying to catch them. Clickbait is a link on a website that's there trying to attract you - to make you click on it.
正如我們所說，“誘餌”是釣魚時引誘魚兒上鉤用的。“點擊誘餌”指的是網站上的鏈接，試圖吸引你的注意，讓你去點擊。

You will feel a little like you've been tricked when you click on clickbait.
如果你一不小心點擊了鏈接誘餌，你會覺得被騙了。

The main aim of the clickbait is to get hits to a site rather than genuinely informing you.
“點擊誘餌”的主要目的是讓人去點擊某個網站，而不是真的告訴你什么信息。

例句： Don't follow that link Neil - it's just clickbait. It'll be some nonsense.
尼爾，不要點擊那個鏈接，那只是個“點擊誘餌”，其實啥也不是。

I can never read a long article online. I'm so distracted by the clickbait I always end up on some other site.
我在網上從來讀不了長文。我總是被“點擊誘餌”分心，點擊到別的網站上去。
