这些词都含有“跳跃”之义。jump最为常用,表示跳上、跳下或跳离原先所站之处,或跳越障碍等。jump也可作及物动词,作“跳过”解。此外,表示跳了多远,也常用jump。例如:
He jumped over the wall.他跳过墙。
He jumped 5 meters.他跳了5米。
bound经常表示边跑边跳,但步幅比skip大,并且有兴高采烈的意思,强调连续有力地向上或向前跳跃,而且含有弹回之义,例如:
The ball bounded back to me.球向我反弹回来。
hop常表示动物齐足跳跃或人单足跳跃,强调用单足或双足急促地向前跳跃,例如:
a bird hopping around in the garden在花园里蹦来跳去的鸟
leap与jump含义相似,作跳跃讲时用法差别不大。
She leapt for joy.她高兴得跳起来。
skip指两脚轻快地行走或蹦跳,用于形容小孩或小动物愉快地处于雀跃状态。此外,表示“跳绳”和看书或写字时“略过”某部分,只能用skip,例如:
The little boy skipped down the street to the sweet shop.小男孩沿街蹦蹦跳跳地向那家糖果店跑去。
skip over a dull chapter略过乏味的一章
spring强调动作的弹跳感,常常含有突然和意外之义,例如:He sprang to his feet.他突然站起来。
vault 经常表示借助于双手或竿子等作支撑腾空一跃而跳上、跳下或跳过,例如:
vault a fence 跃过篱笆
vault upon a horse 跳上马
vault from the saddle 跳下马鞍
