Question

gale n.狂风；一阵（喧闹；笑声等） (1) 狂风把旗杆吹倒了。 The word gale possibly originates from the Old Norse word galinn, which means “mad”, “frantic” or “bewitched.” Weather forecasters sometimes use the term “gale-force winds” to describe conditions that aren’t quite as extreme as hurricanes or tropical storms, but probably fierce enough to snap your kite in half. It can also refer to other kinds of strong outbursts. For example, if someone erupts into gales of laughter, it means her friend probably said something very funny.
