Cheesy
意味: Something overly sentimental, cheap-looking, or trying too hard to be impressive.
'Cheesy' is closely related to 'corny' but with an added element of cheapness or poor quality. A cheesy movie has bad special effects and predictable plot twists. A cheesy pick-up line is embarrassingly unoriginal. Cheesy decor looks cheap and overdone. However, 'cheesy' can be endearing — some people love cheesy things precisely because they're so bad they're good.

✗ 間違った言い方
- Like 'corny,' 'cheesy' can be affectionate — 'cheesy but I love it' is a common sentiment. Not always a pure insult和'corny'一样,'cheesy'可以带有喜爱之情——'虽然俗但我就是喜欢'是很常见的说法,并不总是纯粹的贬义。Como 'corny', 'cheesy' puede ser cariñoso — 'cursi pero me encanta' es un sentimiento habitual. No siempre es un insulto puro「corny」と同様、「cheesy」は愛情を込めて使えることもある——「ベタだけど好き」はよくある感想。必ずしも純粋な悪口ではない'코니'처럼 '치지'도 애정 어린 표현이 될 수 있다 — '치즈스럽지만 좋아'는 흔한 감상이다. 항상 순수한 비난은 아니다
