什麼時候你會frantic來形容人或事呢,

比方說:支持的隊伍獲得總冠軍,frantic fans激動到跳河

或者,高興到發瘋,害怕到發瘋,疼痛的發瘋時你也可以用frantic這個字來形容

ex.范進中舉

 

frantic字源:c.1362, "insane," unexplained variant of M.E. frentik (see frenetic). Transf. meaning "affected by wild excitement" is from c.1477.

frantic這個字最早的意思是"insane精神錯亂的;瘋狂的",frantic與我們接下來會講的frenetic是同源的
