Dude-fussing is when you go camping and someone feels a primal need to poke at the fire every 30 seconds, or when someone is barbecuing and they can't just leave the burgers alone.

　　Dude-fussing 说的是这样的几种行为：出去露营的时候，有人差不多每隔30秒就要捅捅火堆，或者，出去烧烤的时候，总有人不停翻转烤架上的汉堡。这其实就是我们说的“瞎捣鼓”。

　　These actions don't have any real effect. But they are fussy and make a great show of effort at doing something to make it all better.

　　他们这些瞎捣鼓的行为并没有任何实际效用。他们只是喜欢瞎忙，很想表现出在努力做好某件事的样子。

　　Fuss这个词在英文中既可以做动词，也可以做名词，不过基本都表达了“大惊小怪，小题大做，过分关注”等信息，常用make a fuss about或者fuss about这样的固定搭配，在这里的意思就是rush around doing unnecessary things(瞎忙)，我们来看个例句：

　　Stop all this fuss and do your homework.

　　别大惊小怪了, 去做你的家庭作业吧。
