甜到發膩的感情
糖漿的甜是可以過量的:多了就黏牙、化不開。把這個口感搬到話語、音樂和電影上,就成了肉麻。
noun · C1
Words, music, films or gifts that show love and other warm feelings in a way that is far too sweet, so it feels silly, and often not quite honest.
肉麻煽情
One way to picture treacle: the thick syrup left in the pan after sugar has been boiled. It is dark, it shines, and it pours far more slowly than water. It is very sweet — sweet enough that a little is lovely and a lot is too much. Hold both halves of that picture, the slow stickiness and the too-muchness of the sweetness, and the other uses of the word follow from it.
Wiktionary traces treacle back through Middle English triacle to Ancient Greek thēriakḗ, 'an antidote'. The medieval antidote was a sweet, thick paste taken by the spoon, and the word followed that texture into the sugar pan.
依 Wiktionary,treacle 一路上溯到古希臘文 thēriakḗ「解毒藥」。中世紀的解毒藥是又甜又稠、要用湯匙挖的膏狀物,這個字就跟著那個口感,最後落在煮糖剩下的濃漿上。
