fandango 凡丹戈舞（节奏欢快的西班牙舞蹈）词源不详。可能来自fado, 一种葡萄牙民歌，词源同fate, 命运。
- fandango (n.)
- mid-18c., lively Spanish dance, the word of unknown etymology [OED says "alleged to be of negro origin"], of uncertain origin. Perhaps related to fado (Watkins traces both to Latin fari "to speak"); fado is lovely but not lively, so perhaps the link, if any, is thematic. By extension in American English, "any noisy entertainment."
- 1. Politics before an election can be quite a fandango.
- 选举前的政治活动简直可以说是胡闹一通.
