Jostle一詞可以有不同的含義，主要包括：擠、推、爭(zhēng)斗、競(jìng)爭(zhēng)、接觸等。

詞源來(lái)自于古英語(yǔ)的“justen”，意為“擠壓、對(duì)抗”。記憶詞義可以想象一個(gè)人擠進(jìn)人群中，用肘部輕推、碰撞周?chē)娜?，?zhēng)奪更好的位置。

幾個(gè)例句：

1. 人群中的人們不斷擠壓和推推搡搡，爭(zhēng)奪領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的注意力。
   People in the crowd kept jostling and shoving, vying for the leader’s attention.

2. 在學(xué)校里，女孩們經(jīng)常競(jìng)爭(zhēng)誰(shuí)能在懸掛鏡子的角落里排名第一。
   In school, the girls often jostled for who could be ranked first in the corner where the mirror hung.

3. 立法者們?cè)谵q論中不斷接觸邊緣話(huà)題，試圖得到競(jìng)選優(yōu)勢(shì)。
   The legislators kept jostling with peripheral issues in their debate, trying to gain an advantage in the election.

一首英文詩(shī)：
Jostling through the crowded street,
Our elbows touch, our shoulders meet,
We hurry on, in search of pace,
In this lively, bustling space.

A smile, a nod, a friendly jostle,
We welcome all in this lively hustle,
Our paths cross, our footsteps blend,
In this rush that feels so grand.

A world of motion, of endless flow,
We’re always going, never slow,
Our lives are full, our hearts are light,
In this vibrant, jostling sight.

一個(gè)與Jostle很相似的單詞是hustle，兩者都可以表示“爭(zhēng)奪”、“接觸”、“忙碌”等含義。不同點(diǎn)在于，hustle有時(shí)還可以表示“欺騙”、“詐騙”等含義，而jostle則更多用于物理接觸和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的場(chǎng)合中。
