Thank you, Eric.
It’s great to be here.

And your films let moviegoers experience these powerful times in the past, like your most recent movie about World War II, for example.

Fair enough. How about this one, ‘10 Things I Hate About You’? It’s listed in the ‘Top 50 Best Guilty Pleasure Movies’.
讲解
这句话中，‘10 Things I Hate About You’ 是一部上映于1999年的爱情喜剧电影。而对话中用 ‘guilty pleasure’ 来形容这部电影。形容词 guilty 意为感到愧疚的、有负罪感的，而名词 pleasure 则指乐事，因此，guilty pleasure 常常用来指代那些给自己带来快乐，但往往在别人看来有些登不上台面的乐趣。比如，一些人会觉得吃垃圾食品、熬夜看网络小说是 guilty pleasure。对话中提到的这部爱情喜剧，也可能因为其立意不高、简单俗气而被称为 guilty pleasure。但往往因为 guilty pleasure 能给人带来直接的快乐，网上会有 ‘Top 50 Best Guilty Pleasure Movies’ 这样的排行榜。

I’m not sure if I’m in the mood for something too intense.

It’s listed in the ‘Top 50 Best Guilty Pleasure Movies’.
