每當(dāng)有熱門(mén)電影或電視劇上映的時(shí)候，網(wǎng)上就會(huì)出現(xiàn)一群“劇透黨”，到處搜集相關(guān)情節(jié)，在劇集開(kāi)播之初就告訴大家最終的結(jié)局。這樣的行為你會(huì)反感嗎？
Spoiler is a piece of information about a film, book or electronic game which can spoil the enjoyment of someone experiencing it for the first time.
Spoiler指與電影、書(shū)籍或者游戲內(nèi)容有關(guān)的信息，即我們所說(shuō)的“劇透”，這類(lèi)信息會(huì)大大減少初看者了解劇情或者參與游戲的興致。
This sense of spoiler has been around since the mid-1990s, and initially referred to pieces of information which reveal elements of the plot of a film or book. Since proper enjoyment of a plot depends on dramatic tension and suspense, prematurely discovering what is going to happen "spoils" the experience that the viewer or reader has when watching or reading for the first time. The usage was later applied in the gaming world, where it refers to pieces of information which signal the solution to a game or puzzle and therefore deny the user the pleasure of working things out for themselves.
Spoiler用作“劇透”之意始于上世紀(jì)90年代，最初指透露電影或書(shū)籍情節(jié)的信息。故事情節(jié)的欣賞主要有賴(lài)于扣人心弦的緊張氣氛和懸念，如果提前得知后面的情節(jié)發(fā)展就會(huì)“破壞”（spoil）初看者欣賞故事的體驗(yàn)。后來(lái)，spoiler一詞也被用于游戲領(lǐng)域，指對(duì)游戲通關(guān)有提示性作用的信息，有了這樣的信息，游戲玩家就完全喪失憑借自己的實(shí)力玩通關(guān)的樂(lè)趣了。
