句子翻译:
鲍勃平均每天工作16个小时,他简直就是一个工作狂。
[误] bob works 16 hours a day on average, and he is crazy about his work.
[正] bob works 16 hours a day on average, and he is a workaholic.
crazy 虽然可以作“疯狂的,狂热的”讲,但be crazy about sb. / sth.的意思却是“热衷于……,对……着迷”。而 workaholic 是从 alcoholic(嗜酒者)派生出来的,表示像酗酒者离不开酒精一样地离不开工作,即“工作狂;工作第一的人”。现在人们将 -holic 作为一个后缀,表示“对……上瘾,嗜好……成癖”,并构成了许多新词。比如说:把喜欢吃巧克力的人说成“chocoholic”,把看电视成癖的人说成“teleholic”,把购物狂说成“shopaholic”,把看电影成癖的人说成“movieholic”。
出差忙,忙于上青天
