突然湧上來的一股
兩個意思共用同一道浪,差別只在湧起來的地方:一個在數字上,一個在人心裡。
noun · C1
A sudden, large rise in the number or amount of something.
激增
You can picture a wave swelling up all at once — it was flat a moment ago, and now it is high. The word always carries both parts: it went up, and it went up fast. What rises can be a number on a chart or a feeling in your chest.
up- + surge: 'surge' is water swelling and rushing, and 'up-' points the movement upward.
up-(往上)加上 surge(水湧起、奔湧)。所以字面就是「往上湧的一股」,這張圖後來兩個意思都用得上。
