Jumped
“Jumped” 最基本的意思是“跳起”或“跳过”,也可引申为价格、数量“猛涨”,或注意力、话题的“突然转向”,如 prices jumped 或 he jumped to conclusions。

“Jumped” 来自中古英语 “jumpen”,可能受低地德语或法语影响,词源并不完全确定,但现代义稳定地表示“跃起或骤变”。
“-ed” 是规则动词过去式后缀;词干 “jump” 为短动词,无独立前缀。
在口语中,“jumped” 常用于夸张表达 sudden change,例如 jumped the queue(插队)或 jumped ship(跳槽/弃船),都强调“突然离开原位置”。
- 固定搭配: “jumped the gun” (抢跑/操之过急), “jumped at the chance” (抓住机会), “jumped to conclusions” (草率结论)

- 现在分词: jumping
“jump + ed”:动作已经完成,所以是“跳过了/跳起来了”。
