1. 1佛朗明哥。中國大陸寫作「弗拉門戈」。

    Flamenco is a fast, strong kind of dance from Spain, and also the music that goes with it — guitar, singing, , and the sound of shoes on the floor. Dancers often stamp and hold their bodies very straight. The feeling can be proud, sad, or wild, not only happy-party. In English we use flamenco for both the dance and the music. You meet it in concert names, dance classes, and talk about Spanish culture; it is not a shop word. The word is borrowed from Spanish. Though actually, it first meant a Fleming — a person from Flanders — and only later became the name of the dance. How that jump happened is something scholars still argue about, so I will not pretend I know the full story.

組成Borrowed from Spanish flamenco, from Middle Dutch vlaminc, a Fleming (a person from Flanders). How the dance got that name is not a story I can tell you as fact.
