1.) opprobrium- disgrace, dishonor
Ex: The Edison sex pictures scandal was considered an opprobrium, not only to Hong Kong people, but also for the Chinese community as well, since Chinese people tend to hold a conservative view on sex.
2.) erudite - scholarly
Ex: Ron's erudite character in Lost in the Chamber of Love was a romantic gentleman, but with too much focus on studying, I find his character a little boring.
3.) foment - arouse, promote
Ex: Whenever TVB wants to foment hype for big productions, a lot of promotions and publicity events with the cast would be held.
4.) misanthrope - person who dislike other people
Ex: Always filled with rage and vengeance, Jin Yong's character, Li Mo Chou (李莫愁) in the Return of the Condor Heroes, would be a good example of a misanthrope.
5.) perfidious- disloyal
Ex: In Where the Legend Begins, Yan Fok's (Ada) son finally realizes Kwok Huen's (Sonjia) perfidious character when Yan Fok's maid revealed how Kwok Huen treated his mother after death.
