Question

fad n.时尚；一时流行的狂热 (1) 就象经济，社会或文化性质的任何其他活动一样，直接投资也可成为一种一朝风行的时尚。(2) 也许这会导致你节俭到否定自我愉快感或拥抱某个健康时尚来避开疾病。 From hairstyles to hula hoops to saying “that’s hot,” fads are known to rise to crazed levels of popularity seemingly overnight. But they fade out just as fast, leaving late adopters with outdated sayings and some seriously uncool shoes. Much like a fad itself, no one has any real idea where this word came from. But it’s still in fashion some 144 years later.
