hedonist
含义: A person who believes that the pursuit of pleasure is the most important thing in life; someone who lives for sensory enjoyment and gratification.
Hedonist can be used neutrally, approvingly, or critically depending on context. In philosophy, hedonism is a respected ethical tradition arguing that pleasure is the highest good. In everyday usage, it often carries slight disapproval, implying self-indulgence at the expense of duty or discipline. It is sometimes used with self-aware humour — 'I'm a complete hedonist' — to acknowledge a love of luxury.
