Manic means full of very fast, very high energy — often too much energy to feel calm or safe. Doctors use it for a mental health state called mania, where a person feels extremely , talks very fast, and cannot sleep or sit still. But most people you meet will use the word more loosely, just to mean 'crazy busy' — 'it was a manic morning at work' means everyone was rushing around at once. When you hear it about a mood (a manic person), take it seriously; when you hear it about a day or a schedule (a manic week), it's just a strong word for 'hectic'.
躁狂的;(口語)瘋狂忙碌的
組成From mania, an old Greek word for madness, plus -ic (which turns a noun into an adjective, like in 'basic').
