Jostle

Jostle一词可以有不同的含义,主要包括:挤、推、争斗、竞争、接触等。

词源来自于古英语的“justen”,意为“挤压、对抗”。记忆词义可以想象一个人挤进人群中,用肘部轻推、碰撞周围的人,争夺更好的位置。

几个例句:

  1. 人群中的人们不断挤压和推推搡搡,争夺领导人的注意力。
    People in the crowd kept jostling and shoving, vying for the leader’s attention.

  2. 在学校里,女孩们经常竞争谁能在悬挂镜子的角落里排名第一。
    In school, the girls often jostled for who could be ranked first in the corner where the mirror hung.

  3. 立法者们在辩论中不断接触边缘话题,试图得到竞选优势。
    The legislators kept jostling with peripheral issues in their debate, trying to gain an advantage in the election.

一首英文诗:
Jostling through the crowded street,
Our elbows touch, our shoulders meet,
We hurry on, in search of pace,
In this lively, bustling space.

A smile, a nod, a friendly jostle,
We welcome all in this lively hustle,
Our paths cross, our footsteps blend,
In this rush that feels so grand.

A world of motion, of endless flow,
We’re always going, never slow,
Our lives are full, our hearts are light,
In this vibrant, jostling sight.


一个与Jostle很相似的单词是hustle,两者都可以表示“争夺”、“接触”、“忙碌”等含义。不同点在于,hustle有时还可以表示“欺骗”、“诈骗”等含义,而jostle则更多用于物理接触和竞争的场合中。
