"Whirling dervish" có từ whirl là gió cuốn, gió lốc, hoạt động quay cuồng, từ dervish là thầy tu hồi giáo mà khi tế lễ nhảy múa rất say mê/nhiệt huyết -> nghĩa là người khỏe mạnh, năng động, tràn đầy năng lượng.

Ví dụ
Trump has dominated the news cycles over the last three weeks, and his administration has been a whirling dervish of activity. He and his team offer daily reports about N95 masks secured, ventilators (máy thở) procured, production capacities increased, negotiations (thương lượng) with Democrats in the Senate for an economic rescue package and more.

Just when I was on the cusp (đỉnh cao) of what would surely have been a dedicated, whirling dervish weight loss strategy, along comes COVID-19 to mess everything up.

But if Harlan appears to be a whirling dervish, or perhaps something like one of the Four Tops to whom he nimbly during (ám chỉ) the Chiefs’ “Shift To Rose Bowl Right Parade” play in the Super Bowl, the calendar is quite methodical for a man who sometimes seems everywhere at once.
