Jean: Hi everyone. 大家好。

William: Now today, I want to share something with you. I'm just so shocked. I have to tell someone. 今天，我想和大家分享一些東西。我剛剛被震驚到了。我不得不告訴其他人。

Jean: Oh what's up William? 威廉，怎么了？

William: My parents have suggested that I should move back home. I think they've gone doolally. D.O.O.L.A.L.L.Y. 我父母建議我搬回家。我想他們瘋了。

Jean: They have gone doolally? 你是說你的父母去了一個(gè)叫做 doolally 的地方嗎？

William: No, the word doolally is an adjective that can be used to describe someone who is insane.

Jean: Ah, doolally 是一個(gè)形容詞，表示某人是 insane, crazy, mad. 精神不正常，發(fā)瘋的、瘋掉了。

William: We can say that someone has gone doolally. 我們可以說一些人瘋掉了。

Jean: Meaning they used to be sane but now they are insane. Sane, 精神健全的, insane 精神不正常的。

William: Yeah, that's my parents. 是的，就是我的父母。

Jean: 所以你剛才說你覺得你的父母 have gone doolally 是因?yàn)樗麄冏罱岢鲎屇惆峄丶依镒　?/p>

William: Yep, they must have gone crazy. I moved out over ten years ago. Why would I move back in with them now? 是的，他們一定是瘋了。我不在家里住已經(jīng)有十年了。我為什么要搬回去和他們一起住？

Jean: Well, they just miss you, that's all William. Maybe you should think about it. 嗯，他們只是想你了，這就是全部的原因，威廉。也許你應(yīng)該考慮一下。

William: Now, I think you're going doolally Jean. 現(xiàn)在我覺得你也瘋了，珍。

Jean: Why don't we listen to some other people using the word doolally? 為什么我們不聽聽別人是怎么用這個(gè)詞的呢？

Examples

A: Our boss wants this project finished by the end of today. 我的老板希望今天結(jié)束前完成這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。

B: She's gone doolally! 她瘋了！

A: Have you heard that Tracy is doing a sponsored parachute jump next week? 你聽說了特雷西下周要進(jìn)行贊助跳傘嗎？

B: Yes, I heard. She must have gone doolally. There is no way I'd ever jump out of a plane. 是的，我聽說了。她一定是瘋了。讓我從飛機(jī)上跳傘是不可能的事。

Jean: So they are using the word doolally 作為一個(gè)形容詞使用，來表示某人是 insane, crazy, mad. 精神不正常，發(fā)瘋的、瘋掉了。

William: Exactly. 確實(shí)是。

Jean: So are you going to move back in with your parents now William? 所以說你現(xiàn)在打算和你父母一起住了嗎？

William: No Jean I'm not. I would have to be doolally to do that. 不，珍，我沒有打算。如果這么做了我就真的瘋了。
