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。

workaholic /ˌwɜːrkəˈhɑ:lɪk/

【解释】

A workaholic is a person who works most of the time and finds it difficult to stop working in order to do other things.

【例句】

他是个典型的工作狂，感觉他是跟工作而不是她老婆结了婚。

【补充】

上述单词中-aholic表示“…狂…痴”。还有其他单词： sugarholic (爱吃糖的), golfaholic (爱打高尔夫的), chocoholic (爱吃巧克力的)
