mercurial (mer KYUR ee ul) The Roman god Mercury was the messenger of the gods and as such had to be very swift. Thus, his name gets given to the chemical element mercury, which can travel very fast, and to the adjective mercurial, used to describe someone whose moods change very rapidly. ( If you’ve read Romeo and Juliet, think of Mercutio, who is certainly mercurial.) Two for one: a synonym would be “volatile,” which comes from a root meaning “flying.”
- Shakespeare’s character Hamlet is very mercurial: one minute he’s very gloomy and the next he’s wisecracking with old chums.
- George’s mercurial nature can make him fun to be around for a while, but sometimes you want him to be a little more laid back.

mercurial (mer KYUR ee ul) 罗马神墨丘利是众神的使者，因此必须非常迅速。因此，他的名字来源于化学元素汞，它可以传播得很快，以及形容词mercurial，用来形容心情变化很快的人。（如果你读过《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，想想马库西奥，他当然是个反复无常的人。）二选一：同义词是“易变的”，它的词根意思是“飞翔”
•莎士比亚笔下的角色哈姆雷特非常善变：前一分钟他很沮丧，下一分钟他又和老朋友开玩笑。
