Spoil作为动词是“溺爱、损坏”的意思，spoiler是什么意思呢？请看对话：

    A: I sent you a movie review yesterday. Have you read it?

    B: No. And I’m not planning to.

    A: Why not?

    B: Because I haven’t seen the movie yet. The essay says “the following review contains spoilers.” I don’t want to know the ending of the movie.

    A: I agree. But there are also lousy movies that you can figure out what’s going to happen next even without spoilers.

    Note: “Spoiler alert” is a term to describe when crucial elements of a movie are about to be revealed (i.e. the ending, character deaths, a twist, etc.). It can really ruin the fun of watching a movie.
