Binge-watching

長假期最宅的活動莫過於追劇!大追特追,誓要一口氣看畢數季才夠過癮。

「追劇」的英文名詞是binge-watching,動詞是binge-watch。Binge本身可以用作名詞和動詞,指「無節制的狂熱行為」,尤其是指在飲食和花錢方面。例如,To be honest, I am not very surprised that one out of six adults in the US is a binge drinker.(說實話,我並不驚訝美國六分之一的成年人酗酒。)She used to binge on chocolate and biscuits when she was working overtime.(以往她加班時,她常常狂吃朱古力和餅乾。)

Binge-watching就是描述人在短時間內連續觀看許多電視劇集,沒有節制,甚至不眠不休。例句︰Here's a list of 10 Netflix TV shows you need to binge-watch right now.(這是你需要立即觀看的十個Netflix電視節目清單。)I'm currently binge-watching all the four seasons of“Twelve Monkeys”.(我現正追看全四季的《12猴子》。)I binge-watched seven seasons of“Game of Thrones”in three weeks.(我在三周內追看了七季《權力遊戲》。)
