Question

chameleon n.变色龙；善变的人；轻浮的人 (1) 变色龙可将身体颜色变得与周围环境相同。(2) 那只变色龙沿着枝条慢慢往下爬。(3) 他是一个自己没有主张、反复无常的人。(4) 他有点像政治上的变色龙。 The history of the word chameleon goes back to the Greek word khamaileōn, which meant "lion on the ground," maybe because of the creature’s somewhat scary face, or maybe because the ridge around the creature’s head looks something like a lion’s mane. In Old French it became chaméléon, which stuck. Today there are two acceptable spellings, chameleon and chamaeleon. We often use the word today to refer to a person who is changeable or inconsistent.
