外刊例句
In the current crisis it may seem fair to ask American firms to take a more European approach. After all business activity has collapsed not because of slothful work habits but because governments have ordered people to stay at home. This is not a slump that needs to be fixed with an orgy of creative destruction in the jobs market.
在当前的危机中，要求美国公司采取更欧洲化的做法似乎是公平的。毕竟，商业活动的崩溃不是因为懒惰的工作习惯，而是因为政府命令人们呆在家里。这不是一场需要用就业市场创造性破坏的狂欢来修复的衰退。
——《经济学人》
基本释义
orgy：An orgy is a party in which people behave in a very uncontrolled way especially one involving sexual activity.
n. 狂欢会；放荡
追根溯源
单词orgy最早来源于古希腊人、罗马人对酒神的一种崇拜仪式。在希腊语中是orgia，表示“秘密仪式”，原本指任何一种崇拜神灵的仪式，后来专指崇拜酒神的仪式，主要包括狂欢放荡的舞蹈、歌唱和豪饮，以及在亢奋中胡乱砍杀献祭的牲畜。
由于酒神崇拜仪式的这种狂欢放荡特点，orgy一词逐渐发展出贬义含义，用来表示那种集体狂欢或淫乱活动。现在多表示“狂欢、放荡”，尤其是“性狂欢、群体淫乱”等。
