周末休息,不想出门又想有点娱乐的时候,你通常会做什么?“抱着电脑看片”估计会是个比较热门的回答吧。没错,在美剧刚刚开始风靡的那段时间,小编周围很多朋友周末都是跟一个又一个episode度过的。不过,你知道吗?这样的行为其实是有英文名字的哦,叫做powerdisking。
Powerdisking means watching several episodes of a TV show in a row, usually from a DVD box set. This can be done over several evenings, or a marathon weekend.
Powerdisking(暂译为“连续读碟”)指抱着DVD碟片盒,一集接一集地观看某部电视剧。这种场景通常会持续好几个晚上,或者持续整个周末。
For example:
I missed the first three seasons of Mad Men, so I spent the past two weekends powerdisking all the episodes in order to be up to date for the premiere of season four later this month.
我没看过《广告狂人》前三季,所以过去的两个周末我一直在连着看这个片子,希望在这个月底第四季首映时能跟得上剧情。
