<p>罪恶的快乐 or 带罪恶感的快乐</p>

<p>For example, 罪恶的快乐 is used in this article: <a href="http://www.360doc.com/content/15/0301/14/11843203_451727066.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.360doc.com/content/15/0301/14/11843203_451727066.shtml</a></p>

<p>Compared to 罪恶的快感, I think 罪恶的快乐 is slightly less ambiguous. 带罪恶感的快乐 is not ambiguous but lengthy. In Chinese, shorter sentences are preferred. Some ambiguity can be resolved by context.

<p>罪恶的快感 = the pleasure of being guilty (similar to 完美犯罪的快感，快乐杀人)

<p>How about 恶趣味? Literally &quot;an evil interest&quot;.</p>
<p>For your example,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>For the renowned sushi chef, eating fish sticks drowned in tartar sauce was a guilty pleasure.</p>
<p>对于一位有名望的寿司师傅，吃着配上塔塔酱的鱼柳条是种恶趣味。</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Some other interesting translations include:</p>
<ul>
<li>罪快乐. It takes the pronunciation of 最快乐 (happiest) to imply that it's the happiest, yet a &quot;crime&quot;.</li>
<li>罪乐感. It derives from 罪恶感 (guilt) to imply that it's a guilt which makes one &quot;happy&quot;.</li>
</ul>

恶趣味 is good candidate. The other two are made-up words which don't meet the 'idiomatic' criteria.

@NS.X 痛并快乐着？快乐而又痛苦着？this is the closest thing I can think of, you see it often in chinese, the actually translation doesn't exactly match, but I think it is used more commonly to express the same thing

How about 恶趣味? Literally "an evil interest".

For your example,

> For the renowned sushi chef, eating fish sticks drowned in tartar sauce was a guilty pleasure.
>
> 对于一位有名望的寿司师傅，吃着配上塔塔酱的鱼柳条是种恶趣味。

Some other interesting translations include:

* 罪快乐. It takes the pronunciation of 最快乐 (happiest) to imply that it's the happiest, yet a "crime".
* 罪乐感. It derives from 罪恶感 (guilt) to imply that it's a guilt which makes one "happy".
