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

• squirt 本词

  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。

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。
