短释义:
Of all the animals, cats are the best at pouncing. Snakes strike. Elephants charge. But when an animal leaps onto its prey, that’s pouncing. When we talk about how people pounce, however, we’re usually talking more figuratively. When we say that a person pounced on another person, we mean that they attacked viciously without warning — usually giving the victim no time to defend themselves. Lawyers pounce on witnesses, for example. If you feel suddenly ganged-up on, you might feel pounced upon.
弹跳是突然跳到猎物上。一只老虎会慢慢偷偷溜到猎物上,然后突然用速度和力量来杀死杀戮。
