比较义项：突然的快速奔跑（名词）。

• dash

  Describes a sudden, brief burst of fast movement, often a spontaneous reaction rather than a planned race; common in the phrase 'make a dash for'.

  指突然、短暂的快速冲动，往往是本能反应而非有计划的比赛；常用于 make a dash for（冲向……）这一说法中。

  He made a dash for the door when he heard the alarm go off.

  听到警报响起时，他猛地冲向门口。

• sprint 本词

  Describes running at full speed over a short, often measured distance, usually in an athletic or competitive context; stronger and more deliberate than 'dash'.

  指在一段较短、常有明确距离的路程上全力冲刺奔跑，通常带有运动或竞赛的语境；语气比 dash 更强、更具刻意性。

  She broke into a sprint for the final hundred meters of the race.

  在比赛的最后一百米，她开始全力冲刺。

Dash and sprint both mean a sudden fast run, but the tone differs. Dash suggests a sudden, brief burst of speed, as in making a dash for a bus. Sprint means running at full speed over a short distance, in sport, and is more deliberate.

这两个词都表示为赶时间而突然快跑，但语气不同：dash 强调动作的突然和仓促，往往是临时起意的短暂冲刺；sprint 强调用尽全力以最快速度奔跑，带有竞速运动的意味，语气更强烈。这里不比较 dash 的其他常见义项，如“少量”（a dash of salt）或标点符号“破折号”。
