“百變教母”Lady Gaga的歌你可能聽過(guò)，但她的名字中的“Gaga”是什么意思你知道嗎？

The artist gleaned the name from the famous Queen song Radio Gaga, but the word gaga entered the English lexicon in the early 1900s as a term for "crazy" or "silly."

Lady Gaga的名字源于皇后樂(lè)隊(duì)的著名歌曲《Radio Gaga》。“Gaga”一詞是在1900年代進(jìn)入英語(yǔ)，意為“瘋狂的”“愚蠢的”。

Though its origin is unknown, it may come from the French imitative gaga meaning "senile" or "foolish."

雖然它的詞源仍然未知，但它有可能是來(lái)自法語(yǔ)的gaga，意思為“年老糊涂的”“愚蠢的”。

Today the word is most commonly used in the sense of deep infatuation, where going gaga for something is the same thing at "mooning over" it.

如今這個(gè)詞多用來(lái)形容極度迷戀某事，“going gaga”即對(duì)某事很癡迷。

Example：

I can't understand how anyone could be so gaga over golf.

我搞不懂為什么那么多人癡迷高爾夫。
