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。

  1. “The cat jumped onto the windowsill.” (猫跳上了窗台。)
  2. “Ticket prices jumped after the festival was announced.” (节日宣布后,票价猛涨。)
  3. “Don’t jump to conclusions before hearing both sides.” (在听完双方说法之前,别草率下结论。)

“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)
  • 原形: jump
  • 现在分词: jumping

“jump + ed”:动作已经完成,所以是“跳过了/跳起来了”。

“When the alarm rang, everyone jumped out of bed and rushed to the meeting point.” (警报响起时,大家跳下床冲向集合点。)
