1. As the fracas in Washington has shown, not even the U.S. government can be seen as completely risk-free.
正如华盛顿的债务论战所显示出来的，即使是美国政府也不能被视为完全没有风险。
- fracas (n.) 1727, from French fracas "crash, sudden noise; tumult, bustle, fuss" (15c.), from Italian fracasso "uproar, crash," back-formation from fracassare "to smash, crash, break in pieces," from fra-, a shortening of Latin infra "below" (see infra-) + Italian cassare "to break," from Latin quassare "to shake" (see quash).
