短释义：
Ever see two puppies playing in the park, wrestling, chasing, and just having a ball with each other? You could say they’re having a frolic or frolicking. When we frolic, we’re having a fun time. Flying a kite, playing frisbee, skipping around, and having a picnic could be examples of frolics. If things are grim and serious, or you’re in a bad mood, then it’s tough to frolic. This is one of the happiest, most playful words in the dictionary.
嬉戏是一种轻松、有趣、常常是愚蠢的活动。嬉戏是指欢闹、嬉戏或跑来跑去——为了获得乐趣。

你见过两只小狗在公园里玩耍、摔跤、追逐，或者只是互相打球吗？你可以说他们正在嬉戏或嬉闹。当我们嬉戏时，我们玩得很开心。放风筝、玩飞盘、蹦蹦跳跳、野餐都是嬉戏的例子。如果事情严峻而严重，或者你心情不好，那么就很难嬉戏。这是字典中最快乐、最有趣的单词之一。

词源：
frolic (v.)”make merry, have fun, romp playfully,” 1580s, from frolic (adj.) “joyous, merry, full of mirth” (1530s), from Middle Dutch vrolyc “happy,” a compound of vro- “merry, glad” + lyc “like” (see like (adj.)). The first part of the compound is cognate with Old Norse frar “swift,” Middle English frow “hasty,” from PIE *preu- “to hop” (see frog (n.1)), giving the whole an etymological sense akin to “jumping for joy.” Similar formation in German fröhlich “happy.” Related: Frolicked; frolicking. As a noun from 1610s.Related entries & more
