Question

lunatic n.疯子adj.疯狂的；极蠢的 (1) 这个镇上的人们称他为疯子。(2) 你现在是逆行开车，你这个蠢材！(3) 我真不了解他到底是怎样的人; 一会儿正常，一会儿又像个疯子。(4) 那个人的疯狂行为构成对社会的威胁。 The root of this word is luna, which means moon. That's because lunatic originally meant someone who went crazy with every phase of the moon, kind of like a werewolf. Most people these days don't believe in moon-caused insanity, but we still talk about lunatics, sometimes meaning clinically insane people. More often this is a slang term, used mainly in exaggerations, for anyone who seems wild and out of control.
