Movement 行动 & Speed 速度(2)
1.The word prompt means “fast and punctual” – it is often used with information and payment or customer service. For example, you can give a prompt reply to an e-mail, and receive prompt delivery of a product you ordered.
“prompt”这个词的意思是“又快又准时”——它通常与信息和付款或客户服务一起使用。例如,您可以快而及时的回复电子邮件,您快而及时的收到了您订购的产品。
2.The word hasty means “fast and in a rush” – He made a hasty exit from the party when he saw his ex- girlfriend walk in. This word often has connotation of doing something without sufficient consideration. You might come to a hasty conclusion before considering all the evidence, and make a hasty decision that you’ll regret later.
“hasty”一词的意思是“又快又匆忙”—当他看到他的前女友走进来时,他匆匆离开了聚会。这个词往往用来形容没有充分考虑就匆忙地做决定。在考虑所有证据之前,你可能会得出一个匆忙的结论,做出一个你以后会后悔的匆忙的决定。
3.When you’re driving, you need to pay attention to the speed limit – the maximum velocity permitted. If you’re driving at breakneck speed(extremely fast), then you might need to slow down. If you get caught in a speed trap (where the police measure the velocity of passing cars), you might have to pay a speeding ticket(penalty for driving too fast).
当你开车的时候,你需要注意限速——允许的最大速度。如果你以极快的速度驾驶(非常快),那么你可能需要放慢速度。如果你被测速仪(警察测量过往车辆的速度)抓住,你可能要付一张超速罚单(超速驾驶的处罚)。
