a drug on the market指的是滞销商品、滞销货、供应过剩的商品。 drug的本义是“麻醉药品”,而麻醉药品是不能在市场上公开出售的,因此该词常常用来指“滞销货”。如:
The things my son bought home were usually a drug on the market for adults.
我儿子买回来的东西在咱们眼里都是卖不出去的。
参考英文释义:The usual meaning of the idiom a drug on the market (also often as a drug in the market) is that it’s a commodity no longer in demand and so is commercially valueless or unsaleable,可翻译为:“卖不出去的商品”、“滞销品”。
