off-the-shelf
现成的、开箱即用的；指直接采用商用产品而不做深度定制的状态，与'量身定制'相对。
English Definition
"Describing a product, software, or interface that is commercially available and used as-is, without significant customization for a particular use case."
用法说明 · 针对中文母语者
在产品与 HCI 语境中常用来对比'专门设计的方案'。例如 off-the-shelf conversational agent 指 ChatGPT 这类通用 AI，而非针对特定场景训练/调优过的版本。
常见错误
- ·误以为仅指'价格便宜'或'低端'产品，核心语义是'未做定制'
- ·中文直译为'货架上的'过于生硬，更常见说法是'现成的'或'通用型'
