长释义：
Jitters is an informal but useful noun that captures the fidgety, nervous feeling that everyone gets sometimes. When you have the jitters, you’re so nervous you can hardly sit still. This word is one of the relatively few coined in the United States, and it’s thought to be influenced by chitter, in dialect "tremble or shiver," from Middle English chittern, "to twitter or chatter."
Jitters 是一个非正式但有用的名词，它表达了每个人有时都会有的烦躁、紧张的感觉。当你有紧张情绪时，你会非常紧张，几乎无法静坐。这个词是在美国创造的相对较少的词之一，它被认为受到 chitter 的影响，在方言中是“颤抖或颤抖”，从中古英语 chittern 到“twitter 或 chatter”。
