Who says you can't have fun while learning? Since I need to start studying for the GRE, I'm going to use HK entertainment to enhance my vocab, hopefully weekly or bi-weekly. If you have time, try a few examples on your own in the comments section. It'll help you, and it'll help me! You'll be surprise at how much easier you remember the words!
1.) anachronism- something out of place in time or history
Ex: Louis Koo's character, Hung Siu Lung traveling back in time from present times in A Step in the Past was definitely an anachronism.
2.) adulation- excessive praise, adoration
Ex: After Shirley Yeung's performance as Ka Yee in The Brink of Law, she had received much adulation from many viewers, for portraying a villain role successfully.
3.) kleptomaniac- strong desire to steal
Ex: Would you consider Tavia's family in The Academy kleptomaniacs since they often like to take steal things and resell them for profit?
4.) collusion - a secret agreement to get involve with fradulent schemes
Ex: The con men and women in The Price of Greed formed a collusion to trick rich women and take their money, even taking years to get their plans to succeed.
5.) Precarious - risky
Ex: The act of sleeping with Suen Bak Yeung, to get pregnant was definitely a precarious move on Yuk Ying's part in War and Beauty.
