- 1讓人產生罪惡感；口語常說「道德綁架」
To guilt-trip someone is to make them feel guilty on purpose, so that they will do what you want — ring home, give money, change a plan. It is an informal verb, born from the noun a guilt trip. You can guilt-trip a friend ('Don't guilt-trip me into staying'), or talk about being guilt-tripped by a parent. The trip here is not a holiday; it is the older slang trip meaning a mental ride, the same piece as in ego trip. Though actually, the noun is still very common: to lay a guilt trip on someone, or to give someone a guilt trip, means the same game. The English word is casual, a bit sharp, and not used in formal essays unless you are quoting speech.
