深入解读
Hurtle 是一个与英语单词 hurdle （栏架、跨栏；跨栏比赛；难关、障碍）十分形似的单词，同时也很容易会猜想是熟词 hurt 的衍生词。
其实，从词源上看， hurtle 一词很可能源自于与 hurt 可能同源的中古高地德语 hurten （向……冲去，碰撞），14世纪初进入英语后开始用来表示“猛烈碰撞”，比如：
- 她驾车飞驰而去。但几秒钟之后，她的车猛地撞上了金属围栏。
She drove off at a furious pace. But within seconds her car hurtled against the metal fence.
等到了14世纪末期后开始发展出现在的主要含义指“飞驰、猛冲”，多指以非常粗暴或暴力的方式不受控地向某个特定方向高速移动，比如：
- 当我们骑马从林中飞驰而过时，一辆失控的汽车朝我们飞驰而来。
When we were galloping through the woods, a runaway car came hurtling towards us. - 爆炸导致金属和玻璃碎片在空中乱飞。更多的人死于爆炸后的一段时间里。
The explosion sent pieces of metal and glass hurtling through the air. Many more people died in the aftermath of the explosion.
此外，也可以用 hurtle 引申表示“发着碰撞声飞速行进、发着巨大的声响急进”以及声音“鸣响、回荡”，比如：
- 当年史诗般的战斗场面又重现在他眼前。那时，厮杀声响彻云霄。
The epic battle scenes of those years reappeared in his mind’s eye. At that time, the noise of the battle hurtled in the air.
