喜歡的美劇一周才出一集,很多人都不愿意受這樣的煎熬,反而選擇在該劇出完一季之后,找個周末連著看完。這樣看劇的方式就叫chainwatch。
Chainwatch is to watch several episodes of a TV series one after the other, the term is an analogy with 'chainsmoke', the practice of lighting a new cigarette for personal consumption immediately after one that is finished, sometimes using the finished cigarette to light the next one.

Chainwatch就是一集接一集地看電視劇,這個說法是由chainsmoke一詞類推而來的,chainsmoke指一根煙吸完以后立馬又點上一根,有時是用第一根快吸完的煙來點下一根煙。
For example:
She cites sleeping and chainwatching TV as among her favorite activities.
她說她最喜歡的活動包括:睡覺和一集接一集連著看電視劇。
