30 years ago, my dad was in a local ad for Pritchett's Closets, and he has always been really proud of the slogan he came up with. 30年前，我爸在本地登了一则普里契特橱柜的广告，他一直为他想出来的广告语自豪。

I've never understood what it means. 我一直都不懂是什么意思。

Pritchett's Closets -- 普里契特橱柜...

Choose one of our nine luxurious⁵ models like the Monte Carlo. 选择我们的九大奢华样板例如蒙特卡罗。

Or how about a custom design using our state-of-the-art technology? 或者采用顶尖技术制造的专属定制衣柜顶尖技术？

Come visit Pritchett's and go home with the closet of your dreams. 来普里契特把梦想橱柜带回家。

Closet? You'll love it! 买橱柜吗？你会爱上它！

The entire town went nuts for that ad. 整个市区都为那则广告疯狂了。

People stopped me in the street, asking me to say the slogan. 人们在街上拦住我，让我再说一遍那条广告语。

Are you sure they weren't asking you to explain it? 你确定他们不是在让你解释清楚吗？

What's to explain? 有什么好解释的？

Instead of "Like it? You'll love it," you use the word "Closet." 把"喜欢它吗？你会爱上它"，你用"橱柜。"这个词。

Then why not, "Like it? You'll closet!"? 那何不说"喜欢它吗？你会买橱柜！"？

That makes no sense. 那样说不通。
