这是一个习语。柯林斯字典给出的解释是“a commodity available in excess of the demands of the market”,即市场上供给太多,因而泛滥的商品。
示例:Twenty years ago, radios were a drug on the market.
20年前,收音机在市场上泛滥成灾。
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”。
