the Pali is 'nandi-raga'

nandi = delight

raga = lust (lit: "dyed", "coloured", like a cloth is dyed with colour)

to understand the words spoken in the 2nd Noble Truth, please listen to this talk (starts after around 5 minutes):

try to find the time to listen to each talk on the Four Noble Truths (http://www.liberationpark.org/audiox/tanaj01.htm)

this is the only series of talks in the world I know of that explains the Four Noble Truths thoroughly and correctly

Engaged as he is in favoring and opposing, whatever he feels he feels - whether pleasant or painful or neither-painful-nor-pleasant - he delights in that feeling, welcomes it, and remains holding to it. As he does so, delight arises in him. Now delight in feelings is clinging.
