“百變教母”Lady Gaga的歌你可能聽過，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的名字源于皇后樂隊(duì)的著名歌曲《Radio Gaga》。“Gaga”一詞是在1900年代進(jìn)入英語，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，但它有可能是來自法語的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。
