adj.(形容词)

1. sudden的意思是“突然的,忽然的,迅速而意外的”,指事先没有预料到事情会发生,所以当事情发生时使人感到很意外。
2. all of a sudden的意思是“突然地,出乎意料地”,常用于口语中。也常用on a sudden,意思与all of a sudden相同,但不如all of a sudden正式或常见。

adj.(形容词)

sudden, fast, hasty, quick, rapid, swift

这组词的共同意思是“快的,迅速的”。其区别是：

1.quick指运动动作发生或完成的迅速、敏捷,强调的是单一动作的突然性或短暂性,也指才智和反应的敏捷和灵敏; swift意为“快”或“突然发生”,所指的运动速度最高,同时强调运动的平稳潇洒和轻捷、不费力气等,有时带文学色彩,为较正式的用语; fast多指运动的物体,位置移动的迅速,强调物体运动的方式; rapid是正式用语,多指运动本身,强调运动的高速度,所指的速度有时有“对人有益”的含义,常常可与fast互换使用,但语气比fast强; hasty指“草率,匆忙”; sudden则指“突然”。

2.swift, fast和rapid一般都指运动的速度,通常动作都有持续性和连续性。hasty一般都不指运动的速度。例如:

He gave me a quick response to my question.他对我的问题给出了迅速的回答。

The swift fading of autumn into winter.秋色迅速退去,随而进入冬天。
