【适用场合】
今天我们来学习一个挺有意思又很口语化的词：jumpy
大家都知道jump表示跳这个动作，那么jumpy呢？
1. nervous and anxious, especially because of fear or guilt
或者
nervous and anxious, especially because you think that sth. bad is going to happen
又紧张又焦虑，尤其是因为你担心某些糟糕的事情要发生了，你内心感觉害怕或者歉疚；
这个单词jumpy，其实很大程度上相当于我们以前节目中讲过的另外一个特别口语的词汇jittery。

eg: My mother gets very jumpy when she's alone in the house.
当我妈妈一个人在房子里的时候，她就心神不宁，惴惴不安的。

eg: I told myself not to be so jumpy.
我告诉自己别这么紧张。

eg: Stop watching him. It makes him jumpy.
别看他啦！那让他紧张。

eg: He is smoking his last cigarette and looks jumpy.
他正在抽最后一根香烟，一副焦虑不安的样子。

eg: The flight attendants were trying to calm the jumpy passengers.
那些空乘一直在试图让紧张不安的乘客们平静下来。

再来看一个jittery的例子，复习一下。
eg: He felt all jittery before the interview.
这里就相当于He felt very nervous before the interview.
他在面试前紧张得够呛。


2. 再看一个例子，jumpy还可以用来形容声音或者画面是跳动的；抖动的，有的时候还可以形容市场是动荡的，不平稳的，前景不明朗的；充满不确定性的；
a jumpy image or sound keeps moving or being interrupted
或者
uncertain about what might happen in the future


eg: When he spoke his voice was jumpy.
当他说话的时候他的声音都在颤抖。

eg: Calming jumpy markets can be difficult in times of crisis.
要想在危机时刻，去稳定住前景不明朗的市场，可是个难题。
