To scurry is to move quickly with short, light steps, usually because you are in a hurry or a little afraid. Mice scurry. People scurry across a road, scurry to their desks when the boss walks in, or scurry around before guests arrive. It is a smaller, busier kind of fast than run. Though actually, used of a person it can sound a bit like you are comparing them to a small animal — not always , but not grand either. There is also a noun: a scurry, a short burst of that quick movement. Informal to neutral; common in stories and everyday talk. It is not a rude word.
急急忙忙地小步跑、竄跑
組成Perhaps from hurry-skurry, a reduplication of hurry.
