zip

Compared meaning: to move or act very fast (verb).

比较义项：快速行动或移动（动词）。

• hurry

  Emphasizes urgency from limited time; usually intransitive, meaning someone moves or acts faster themselves, or causative, meaning to make someone else move faster; not primarily about physical velocity.

  强调因时间紧迫而需要加快行动；通常作不及物动词，表示某人自己加快动作或移动，也可作使役动词表示让别人快一点；并不主要指实际的物理速度。

  You'd better hurry, or you'll miss the last train tonight.

  你最好快点，不然今晚就赶不上末班火车了。

• speed

  Focuses on the actual rate of motion, especially of vehicles; fairly neutral or formal in tone, and can imply moving too fast, as in illegal speeding.

  侧重实际移动的速度，尤其用于交通工具；语气较为中性或正式，有时暗示速度过快，比如违规超速。

  The ambulance sped through the empty streets to reach the hospital.

  救护车飞速穿过空荡的街道，赶往医院。

• zip 本词

  An informal, vivid word for moving very fast, often suddenly or briefly; used of people, vehicles or objects darting past, with a livelier tone than speed.

  非正式且生动的说法，指移动得非常快，常带有突然或短暂的意味；可用于人、车辆或物体一闪而过，语气比 speed 更活泼。

  The motorcycle zipped past us before we even saw it coming.

  摩托车嗖地一下从我们身边飞驰而过，我们都还没看清。

Hurry, speed, and zip all mean to move fast. Hurry stresses urgency from limited time. Speed means actual movement speed, often of vehicles. Zip is informal for a sudden, quick movement. Not compared: zip as a zipper, speed as a noun.

这三个词都表示“快速地行动或移动”，但语气和用法不同：hurry 强调因时间紧迫而加快动作，常作不及物动词表示自己动作快一点，也可作使役动词表示催促别人；speed 侧重实际移动速度快，多用于车辆，语气中性偏正式，有时暗示超速；zip 是非正式说法，强调突然、迅疾地移动，语气更生动随意。这里不比较 zip 表示“拉拉链”的义项，也不比较 speed 作名词表示“速度”的用法。
