• thump 本词

  Implies a single, heavy hit or impact producing a dull, muffled sound, often describing something striking or landing rather than deliberate repeated blows.

Pound and thump both mean to hit something hard. Pound suggests hitting again and again, forcefully, often from anger or urgency. Thump suggests one heavy hit with a dull, low sound, like something falling. Not compared: pound meaning money or weight.

pound 和 thump 都表示用力打击某物，但 pound 强调连续、猛烈地反复捶打，常带有愤怒或急迫的情绪；thump 强调一次沉重的撞击，发出低沉、闷响的声音，多是一次性的动作或声响。这里不比较 pound 的“英镑”“磅（重量）”等义项。
