身边有没有这样的朋友?他们不说话就难受,一张口说话就停不下来,什么事他们都有话说。嗯,这些朋友大概就是说话成瘾,不说话难受的talkaholic吧。

Talkaholic is a person who takes great pleasure in talking. A talkaholic has trouble keeping quiet and listening when other people are around.

Talkaholic指很喜欢讲话并且乐在其中的人,也就是我们所说的“话唠”。一般有别人在场的时候,话唠就很难做到不发言听别人说话。

Similar words like workaholic and shopaholic are all ended with the same suffix -aholic, which means of an obsessive interest in something.

Workaholic(工作狂)和shopaholic(购物狂)这两个词与talkaholic一样都是以-aholic为后缀的,这个后缀表示对某事有极度的兴趣,或者对某事上瘾。

For example:

Jane was a talkaholic who gave everyone her opinion whether they asked for it or not.

简就是个话唠,不管别人是否愿意听,她都要发表她的意见。
