Question

melee n.互殴；混战 (1) 因发生一场斗殴，我的帽子也在混乱中丢失了。(2) 在肉搏中，您必须与对手进行近距离战斗。(3) 顾客们为了最后一个洋娃娃争论不休，说话声音变得尖锐起来，有一会我担心可能会爆发一场混战。 If you think melee sounds like a fancy French way to say "crazy bar brawl," you're right: It comes from the French mêlée which means "confused fight or mixture.” What makes a melee different than any other fight is that element of chaos or confusion — so don't jump into a brewing melee unless you're really ready to bring the ruckus.
