短释义
While we sometimes like to say, metaphorically, that strong emotions make us delirious, this adjective has more grim origins, in the Latin word for delirium or “madness” — in the medical sense, that is. When you’re delirious from a high fever or a serious bump to the head, you might become incoherent, hallucinate, or have disturbing dreams. The story of The Wizard of Oz is based on the delirious dream Dorothy has after she bumps her head during a tornado.
如果你神志不清,你会无法控制地兴奋或有点疯狂,就像你中了彩票并尖叫着跑过街道一样,幸福得神志不清。

虽然我们有时喜欢用隐喻的方式说,强烈的情绪使我们精神错乱,但这个形容词有更严峻的起源,在拉丁语中意为谵妄或“疯狂”——也就是说,在医学意义上。当您因高烧或头部严重撞击而神志不清时,您可能会变得语无伦次、产生幻觉或做令人不安的梦。 《绿野仙踪》的故事是基于多萝西在龙卷风中撞到头后所做的疯狂梦境。
