1. 1彈簧床、彈跳床(運動用的叫「跳床」,體操項目為「彈翻床」)

    A piece of equipment you bounce on: a metal frame with strong cloth stretched tight across it, joined to the frame by springs all around the edge. You jump on the cloth, it throws you back up, and you can go very high. It is both a serious Olympic sport and something families put in the garden for children. As a verb, 'to trampoline' means to jump on one, though most people just say 'jump on the trampoline'. The word has also travelled into technical English: computer programmers call a small piece of code that bounces a call on to somewhere else a 'trampoline'. And in ordinary speech people use it as an image for anything that gives you a sudden lift — a first job that acted as a trampoline into the industry. In Taiwan you will see big indoor trampoline parks (彈跳床樂園), which is where most students meet the thing itself.

組成From Spanish trampolín / Italian trampolino, a diving or springing board. It was registered as a trademark in 1936 and has since become an ordinary word, like 'escalator'.
