foodie /'fu: di/
n.吃货;美食家
=gourmet /'gʊrmeit/
【解释】
“吃货”多指喜欢吃各种美食的人,并对美食有一种独特的向往、追求,有品位的美食爱好者、美食客、美食家。
英文解释:Foodies are people who enjoy cooking and eating different kinds of food.
此外,还有一个相关的词foodaholic(=food +holic狂),表示的是“嗜食者”,也就是经常过度吃东西的人,这和我们说的“吃货”是有区别的,注意区分。
我看了一篇文章
有一句话比较直白的解释了foodaholic:
Foodaholics are people who use food as a drug to either escape life and/or avoid withdrawal. Foodaholics are really no different than cocaine addicts or heroin addicts.
指把食物当作药物来逃避生活和/或戒瘾的人。食瘾者与可卡因成瘾者或海洛因成瘾者并没有什么不同。
【例句】
As a foodie, I consider tasting the local food a must-do thing whenever I visit a new place.
作为一枚吃货,每当我去一个新的地方,我都把品尝当地的食物当做必做的事儿。
