jet

Compared meaning: a stream shot from a small opening (noun).

比较义项：从小孔中喷出的液体或气体（喷流、喷射）（名词）。

• jet 本词

  Jet suggests a continuous, forceful stream, typically produced by pressure or mechanical force, as from a burst pipe, hose, or engine, rather than a single sudden burst.

  jet强调持续、有力的喷流，通常由压力或机械力产生，比如爆裂的水管、水管或发动机喷出的水流，而不是单次突然的喷涌。

  A jet of water shot from the burst pipe and hit the ceiling.

  一股水流从破裂的水管中喷出，射到了天花板上。

• spurt

  Spurt suggests a sudden, brief, often uncontrolled gush of liquid, appearing abruptly rather than as a steady or deliberate stream.

  spurt强调液体突然、短暂且往往不受控制地喷涌而出，是骤然出现的，而不是稳定或有意为之的水流。

  A spurt of ketchup shot unexpectedly from the bottle and stained his shirt.

  一股番茄酱突然从瓶子里喷出，弄脏了他的衬衫。

• squirt

  Squirt suggests a small, quick, usually deliberate shot of liquid, often produced by squeezing or pressing something, implying a modest quantity rather than a large or forceful stream.

  squirt强调少量、快速且通常是有意挤压或按压产生的喷射，意味着喷出的量较少，而不是大量或有力的水流。

  She added a squirt of lemon juice to her tea before drinking it.

  她在喝茶前往茶里挤了一点柠檬汁。

Jet, spurt, and squirt can all mean a stream shot from a small hole, but the manner differs. Jet means a forceful, continuous stream, from pressure or an engine. Spurt means a sudden, brief, uncontrolled gush. Squirt means a small, quick, deliberate shot of liquid.

这三个词在该义项上都指从小孔中喷出的液体，但语气和方式不同：jet强调有力、持续的喷流；spurt强调突然、短暂的喷涌；squirt强调少量、快速且通常有意为之的一喷。这里不比较jet的“喷气式飞机”义、spurt的“（活动、努力等的）突然爆发”义，以及squirt口语中指“毛头小子”的义项。

Compared meaning: to flow out suddenly and forcefully (verb).

比较义项：喷出，急速地涌出或射出（动词）。

• jet 本词

  Emphasizes a narrow, forceful stream shot out under pressure, often through a small opening or nozzle; common with steam, flame, or liquid forced through a tight space.

  强调在压力下从狭窄开口或喷嘴喷出的一股集中而有力的流体，常用于蒸汽、火焰或被挤压through狭小空间的液体。

  Steam jetted from the valve with a loud hiss.

  蒸汽带着刺耳的嘶嘶声从阀门喷出。

• gush

  Emphasizes a sudden, uncontrolled outpouring, usually in large volume, as from a break, wound, or opened source; often implies surprise or lack of restraint.

  强调突然、失控的大量涌出，通常来自裂口、伤口或被打开的源头，常带有意外或无法控制的意味。

  Blood gushed from the cut before he could stop it.

  血还没等他止住就从伤口涌了出来。

Jet and gush both mean to flow out forcefully, but the manner differs. Jet means a narrow, forceful stream shot under pressure, like steam through a small opening. Gush means a sudden, uncontrolled outpouring, usually a large volume, as from a break or wound.

两词都指液体或气体猛烈地涌出，但 jet 强调像喷射器一样从窄口高速、集中地射出，形状是细而有力的一股；gush 强调突然、大量地涌出，通常是液体从破裂处或缺口一下子冒出来，动作更急促、更失控。这里不比较 jet 用作名词表示“喷气式飞机”的意思。
