CRAZY TEACHER 的瘋狂英語教室: 美國人這樣說
第三十課: guilty pleasure
蛋糕是造成肥胖的凶手之一, 你卻難以拒絕它的誘惑; 買一堆不必要的衣服鞋子總讓你荷包大失血, 每每試穿之後又無法自拔而多買一雙讓自己美美的鞋子, 這種明知不該做的事卻又樂在其中, 英文叫做 guilty pleasure.
guilty pleasure n.
Definition: Something you shouldn't like, but like anyway. You know it's wrong, but it feels so right.
Example:
Sandra: What are you doing tonight? Wanna go to the gym?
Liz: No, I can't. "XX霹靂火" is on tonight. I will have to watch it.
Sandra: What? You gotta be kidding me. It's such a cheesy show.
Liz: I know, but it's just so much fun to watch it. It's my guilty pleasure.

了解了嗎? What is YOUR guilty pleasure??
吃垃圾食物也算guilty pleasure
明知吃了會發胖, 但抵擋不了誘惑... Guilty Pleasure~
What is your guilty pleasure???
我知道對孩子要愛的教育，但是他背單字都背不起來，忍不住要開駡，Is it my guilty pleasure?
[版主回覆11/14/2006 12:06:45]這例子不算, 因為你罵小孩的時候應該不會很爽吧.....
( 除非有虐待狂)
guilty pleasure 是指忍不住做一些大家都覺得不好/不酷的事, 還覺得很爽很高興...
希望有幫助囉!! 謝謝你提問!!
謝謝你提供一些單字．片語和舉例, 讓我也能再溫舊知新, 不然早全都還給老師了.....
[版主回覆11/15/2006 23:16:36]You are welcome. I am so glad that my sharing is helpful.
玩部落格也是一種guilty pleasure!
買名牌~對我是一種guilty pleasure.
不過說真的~XX霹靂火我還真的有看完哩~一邊看一邊罵，什麼爛戲！它的魔力就在這邊~可供人臭罵~
[版主回覆11/18/2006 05:24:55]買名牌是個極佳的例子!!
看不出來你是霹靂火的忠實觀眾呢
打電動囉~明明知道不能整天沉溺在這裡，卻還是忍不住也~ [版主回覆11/15/2006 23:15:18]
This is a great example!!
I think most people have the same problem. Playing video games is really addictive.
老爺開始抱怨我花太多時間上部落格, 冷落了他.......
Is it kind of guilty pleasure?
[版主回覆11/15/2006 11:55:57]Yes, it is !!幸好我沒有這種壞習慣
[版主回覆11/16/2006 04:21:19]Are you sure?? You really don't have any guilty pleasure?? 
人們不斷吃東西 變胖 然後減肥 [版主回覆11/18/2006 05:23:17]有些人永遠也減不回去...
I got it!
這種行為，好像是很多人的通病耶～
我也常會如此～
I think I have too many guilty pleasures...
good food...good wine...luxury...all sorts of fun stuff...etc.
原來是如此說哦!嗯!要記起來!
哈哈哈哈哈....
每次在你的「美國人這樣說」裡，
都偷學步好多東西哦！
畢竟這才實用多了！
比起國中校材“I am fine. Thank you , and you?”
而且沒有加“ and you”還要扣5分的僵化教育，
你的用詞至少是口語化多了。
[版主回覆11/18/2006 05:22:22]而且很多英文老師的英文根本不好呢....
真高興我的分享對你有用!! Thanks for the compliments!
霹靂火已經熄了很久了....
[版主回覆11/18/2006 05:20:39]其實我從來沒看過....I have the same problem like 婉豆公主呢!
照片是波士頓,那艘是茶葉船吧!!!
剛好一口Dortitos,一邊看您的英語教學!!!當場傻眼~
Doritos is my guilty pleasure. It makes me fat, but I just can't say NO ......
[版主回覆11/23/2006 07:27:28]I like Doritos a lot, too!!
照片是在馬里蘭州巴爾的摩市的港口拍的!
You are welcome!!
Thank you for coming :-)
My quilty pleasure is watching Laguna Beach!! Wahahaha!~
[版主回覆11/23/2006 07:26:09]What a great example!
I have never seen that show because i am toooo old for it.
" guilty pleasure 是指忍不住做一些大家都覺得不好/不酷的事, 還覺得很爽很高興... "
身邊有那種假性朋友一直說別人壞話也算囉 ?
[版主回覆11/23/2006 07:25:21]我想那要看他們是否覺得講壞話事件不好的事, 並有試著去抵抗誘惑!"Junk food" is my guilty pleasure!
but I can't stop like them!
Quilty pleasure~~
I love to tease my fat cat and drive him crazy.....
I just can't help doing it.
[版主回覆11/25/2006 12:10:20]I feel sorry for your cat....就是吃啦! 美食啦! 真是不該哟... [版主回覆11/25/2006 12:11:05]吃完記得做運動喔!!
I am not perfect yet, but very happy to share what I know.
你的blog很棒耶~ 我這個英文很破的人,也要來這邊惡補一下了~ 不然很難繼續在老外國家混下去了!
