A: What guilty pleasures do you have?

有什么事情让你得到过内疚的快乐吗？

(yǒu shenme shìqínɡ rànɡnǐ dédào ɡuò nèijiù de kuàilè ma?)

B: I really like to bring a bottle of red wine with me when I go see a movie with friends. Does that count? 

我非常喜欢和朋友去电影院看电影时带一瓶红酒进去喝。这个算吗？

(wǒ fēichánɡ xǐhuān hé pénɡyǒu qù diànyǐnɡyuàn kàndiànyǐnɡ shí dài yīpínɡ hónɡjiǔ jìnqù hē.zhèɡè suànma?)

A: Haha. I feel that guilty pleasures are very common and varied. They are different for everyone. 

哈哈, 我觉得让人内疚的快乐似乎非常普遍而多样,每个人的都不一样。

(hāhā, wǒ juédé rànɡrén nèijiù de kuàilè sìhū fēichánɡ pǔbiàn ér duōyànɡ, měiɡè rén de dōu bùyī yànɡ.)

B: Since you've brought this up, a short time ago I saw a list that listed quiet a few guilty pleasures. 

谈到这个话题,前段时间我看到一个榜单上面就列举了好些常见的让人内疚而快乐的事。

(tándào zhèɡè huàtí, qiánduàn shíjiān wǒ kàndào yīɡè bǎnɡdān shànɡ miàn jiù lièjǔ le hǎoxiē chánɡjiàn de rànɡrén nèijiù ér kuàilè de shì.)

A: What did it have? 

都有些什么呢？

(dōuyǒu xiē shenme ne? )

B: For instance, people who liked to use their fingers to eat chocolate sauce outnumbers those who use spoons. There were also people who like to listen to the sound of the TV when sleeping. 

例如,喜欢用手指吃巧克力酱多过用勺子。还有,非常享受伴着电视声睡觉。

(lìrú, xǐhuān yònɡ shǒuzhǐ chī qiǎokèlì jiànɡ duōɡuò yònɡ sháozǐ. háiyǒu, fēichánɡ xiǎnɡshòu bànzhe diànshì shēnɡ shuìjiao.)
