Question

proclivity n.倾向；癖性 (1) 中国官员谈到美国消费者今天花钱、明天才考虑后果的坏习惯时一脸不屑。 When you have a proclivity, it feels automatic — you like what you like; you don't even have to think about it. The origin of the word proclivity supports this feeling. Proclivity comes from the Latin word proclivis, which literally means "sloping forward." You slide toward a proclivity — no effort is needed. You just give in to it, since you're headed in that direction naturally.
