To scamper is to run with quick, light, short steps. Think of a mouse crossing a kitchen, a squirrel going up a tree, or a small child running off to play. The word feels small and a bit cute. People do not scamper to catch a train in a serious way; they run or rush. After scamper you often hear off or away: the cat scampered off when the door opened. There is also a noun, a scamper, for that short quick run, but the verb is the one you will meet most.
蹦蹦跳跳地跑、疾步跑開（多用於小孩或小動物）
組成First written down in 1687. Where it came from is not certain. It may come from Dutch schamperen, from Old French escamper, from Vulgar Latin *excampāre — the same old "run away" root as scamp, but scholars are not sure.
