gluttony (可数和不可数，复数 gluttonies)

1. 暴食，贪食
   • 1922，Ben Travers，章号 5, in A Cuckoo in the Nest:

     The most rapid and most seductive transition in all human nature is that which attends the palliation of a ravenous appetite. […] Can those harmless but refined fellow-diners be the selfish cads whose gluttony and personal appearance so raised your contemptuous wrath on your arrival?
