关于spring的短语（不止和春天有关）

"He was a man of untidy habits,--very untidy and careless. He was left with good prospects, but he threw away his chances, lived for some time in poverty with occasional short intervals of prosperity, and finally, taking to drink, he died. That is all I can gather."

I sprang from my chair and limped impatiently about the room with considerable bitterness in my heart.

"This is unworthy of you, Holmes," I said. "I could not have believed that you would have descended to this. You have made inquires into the history of my unhappy brother, and you now pretend to deduce this knowledge in some fanciful way. You cannot expect me to believe that you have read all this from his old watch! It is unkind, and, to speak plainly, has a touch ofcharlatanism in it."

“他是一个放荡不羁的人。当初他有着光明的前程，可是他却错过了大好机会，因此生活潦倒，虽然偶然也有好的景况，但最后却因为好酒而死。这就是我所看到的。”

我从椅子上跳起来，忍不住在屋内无精打采地踱来踱去，内心顿时涌现无限的辛酸。

我叫道：”福尔摩斯，这就是你不对了。我真无法相信，你竟然会耍出这种手段来。你一定是事先察访了我哥哥的惨史，现在却假装用一些玄妙的方法推断出这些事实来。你认为我会相信你从这只旧表上就能够发现这些事实吗？毫不客气地说，你这些话简直就是骗人的。”

spring:在这里是动词，“跳跃”的意思，过去式为sprang。

例如：

He sprang to his feet, grabbing his keys off the coffee table.

（他一跃而起，从茶几上一把抓起自己的钥匙。）

Whenever I sat, it would spring upon my knees, covering me with its loathsome caresses.

（只要我一坐下，它就跳到我膝盖上，在我身上讨厌地蹭个不停。）

The dog tried to spring over the gate.

（那条狗想从门上跳过去。）

sprang from:在这里表示“从……跳起”。

这个短语还有一个意思，表示“来自，源于”。

My friend, I have written these words that spring from my heart to you from Belgium.

（我的好朋友，我是在比利时给你写这些肺腑之言的。）

Literature and art can only spring from the life of the people.

（只有人民的生活才是文学艺术的唯一源泉。）
