A chocoholic is someone who loves chocolate so much that they eat a lot of it, almost as if they cannot leave it alone. The word is a joke built on a serious one: we took the ending of alcoholic, the word for a person who cannot stop drinking alcohol, and stuck it onto chocolate.

A chocoholic一個chocoholic is someone who loves chocolate so much是指一個超級愛吃巧克力的人 that they eat a lot of it多到會吃很多, almost as if they cannot leave it alone幾乎像是離不開它. The word這個字 is a joke built on a serious one是建立在一個嚴肅字上的玩笑話: we took the ending of alcoholic我們拿了alcoholic的字尾, the word for a person who cannot stop drinking alcohol那個指戒不掉酒的人的字, and stuck it onto chocolate把它接到chocolate上。

Nobody is saying chocolate is as dangerous as alcohol; people say chocoholic with a smile, often about themselves. “I’m a chocoholic” is a light way to admit you always want one more piece.

Nobody沒有人 is saying chocolate is as dangerous as alcohol是在說巧克力跟酒一樣危險; people大家 say chocoholic with a smile會笑著說chocoholic, often about themselves常常是在講自己. “I’m a chocoholic”像I'm a chocoholic is a light way to admit you always want one more piece是一種輕鬆承認自己總想再吃一塊的說法。

You hear it in everyday talk, in ads, and among friends. It is informal. You would not put it in a medical report.

Though actually, some people do feel they cannot stop once the chocolate is open, so the joke sits on top of something a bit real.

Though actually不過其實, some people有些人 do feel they cannot stop once the chocolate is open確實覺得巧克力一打開就停不下來, so所以 the joke sits on top of something a bit real這個玩笑其實建立在一點真實的東西上。
