- 1插話、突然插入一句
To interject is to put a sudden short remark into someone else’s talking. You are not taking over the whole conversation; you throw a sentence in and then the other person can go on. “Wait — that’s not what happened,” she interjected. It is a little formal. In daily talk people say cut in or jump in. Though actually, students often treat it as a full of interrupt. Interrupt can mean stopping someone completely, even by walking in or making noise. Interject is smaller and more about words: a comment placed between other comments. You interject a remark; you do not “interject a person.” Older writing and meeting English still like it; younger chat often just says wait or but.
組成From Latin interiectus, the past form of intericiō, “to place between.”
