Transcrição

[Essa parte começa com a continuação da resposta à pergunta da Caroline sobre ‘spoilers’ e ‘guilty pleasure’]

(Steve) Guilty pleasure, to me, sounds like eating too much chocolate.

(Ana) OK, I’ll have to make a confession here.

(Steve) Yeah.

(Ana) I have a guilty pleasure currently, and it is watching the ‘novela das 7′. Our soapopera that, you know, is on around 7pm, which is called Ti-Ti-Ti. It’s a guilty pleasure.

(Steve) There you go, there you go, yeah. I think everyone deserves a little bit of a guilty pleasure like that, right?

(Ana) Yeah, so what’s yours, Steve?

(Steve) What’s mine? I wish I had one, but I guess it would be, maybe, playing the guitar… I don’t really have much free time, so I guess my guilty pleasures are small. Playing the guitar, writing some music, singing some songs…

(Ana) OK… I’m not sure that qualifies… That’s not “guilty”.

(Steve) How about eating some chocolate? Eating some chocolate.

(Ana) OK, alright. You can feel guilty about eating some chocolate.

(Steve) A nice glass of wine.

(Ana) OK, I’ll let it slide this time. And spoilers… I see this word a lot when I’m reading forums, you know, or discussion threads for TV shows. You know, they always, always have like a spoiler thread, which is the only place where you can discuss, I mean, really, spoilers, right?  Stuff that has not been shown on any episodes yet, but people know because they have read something on magazines. And so they go on the spoiler thread and they talk about it.

(Steve) A-ha. So that’s, that’s good. So that’s implicit that in that context it’s something, like, you’re getting information actually before the movie is shown. It could spoil the surprise, right? Like, if they talked on some thread about what’s gonna happen at the end of the new Harry Potter movie.

(Ana) Yeah, and if you go to Amazon.com, and if you read book reviews, you always… like, it’s very common, you see “spoiler alert”, or “warning: this review may contain spoilers”, so you know that if you keep reading, you’re gonna learn something about the book that may spoil the suprise, exactly. Or spoil the twist…

(Steve) Right. And then you have a guilty pleasure because you feel good that you read it, but at the same time, guilty, because… OK.

(Ana) Yeah… that’s a good example. I think I’m one of the… I’m one of the only people in the world who enjoys reading spoilers… Do you enjoy reading spoilers? Or do you like to go knowing nothing, like zero about the movie?

(Steve) Yeah, especially nowadays ’cause sometimes it just seems that even, like, movie reviews… Sometimes the movie will be completely different from the review. So, I like to go, as you said,
