Bolt and gobble both mean to eat food very quickly. Bolt stresses swallowing food fast with little chewing, usually because the eater is in a hurry, often paired with "down". Gobble stresses eating greedily and noisily, often with poor manners, and pairs well with "up".

这两个词在“快速进食”这一义项上很接近，但语气不同：bolt强调因为赶时间而匆忙、几乎不嚼地吞下食物；gobble强调吃相贪婪、大口大口、常显得没礼貌或吵闹。这里不比较bolt作名词或动词表示“螺栓；闩上；（马等）突然脱缰逃跑”的其他意思。
