heart-throb #5

heart-throbは「心臓の動機」や「胸のときめき」という意味ですが，そこから転じて「あこがれの的」（『スーパー・アンカー英和辞典』第4版，学研教育出版）という意味があります。これは「特に男性スター・歌手など」を表し，記事ではGeorge Clooneyを指しています。

Coffee with Pepper? Robot sells espresso machines
TOKYO — Move over George Clooney—Nestle has employed a fleet of chirpy robots to sell its coffee machines in Japanese stores.
The Hollywood heart-throb, who has become the global face of the Nespresso brand, has been given the elbow in favour of Pepper, a cheeky and chatty android, which its makers claim can answer customers’ questions.
“How do you enjoy coffee? Number one: An eye-opener coffee; Number two: A post-meal cup of coffee,” Pepper asked a TV personality at a promotion event Monday.
