在西方电影中，经常会看到被反派威胁或在执行危险任务的角色表现出 “jumpy” 的特征。这个词生动地捕捉到了人在高压环境下身体的生理反应。

联想一个人像兔子一样，稍微受惊就 “jump”（跳）起来。这就是 “jumpy”。
“After watching a horror movie late at night, Mark felt extremely jumpy. Every time the old house creaked or a shadow moved across the wall, he would startle. He even jumped when his cat rubbed against his leg. It took him hours to calm down and realize there was nothing to fear.” (深夜看完恐怖片后，马克感到非常紧张。每当老房子发出嘎吱声或墙上有阴影移动时，他都会吃惊。甚至当他的猫蹭他的腿时，他也会惊跳起来。他花了几个小时才冷静下来，意识到没有什么好害怕的。)
