東野圭吾の "The Devotion of Suspect X" からの最後の引用です。
Yasuko turned back to look at him. He wet his lips and slapped his hands down on the steering wheel. 'Maybe now is a good time, after all.' Kudo slid one hand into his suit pocket and pulled out a small blue jewellery case. Yasuko knew what it meant at a glance.
'They have scenes like this all the time on those television shows, so it feels kind of cheesy now, but I suppose it's the accepted ritual, so--'
"cheesy" はチーズの臭いから連想される、余り良くない、陳腐な、趣味の悪いとの意味の形容の様ですが、辞書で確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: Cheap, unpleasant, or blatantly inauthentic.: cheesy motel rooms
・Collins Dictionary: If you describe something as cheesy, you mean that it is cheap, unpleasant, or insincere.: HALF of single women admit they use cheesy chat-up lines to approach men, a survey shows.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: of bad quality or in bad taste: cheesy hotel music
