noun

 [singular] ◆Share prices took a tumble following news of the merger.合并消息传出后，股价随即暴跌。■ plummet (especially business 尤用于商业) to fall suddenly and quickly in price, value or level, from a high level or position （价格、价值或水平从高位）暴跌，速降◆Share prices plummeted to an all-time low.股票价格暴跌到历史最低点。◆Her spirits plummeted at the thought of having to meet him again.一想到又得去见他，她的心便直往下沉。 OPP soar , rocket ⇨ soar NOTE 辨析 Which word?There is very little difference in meaning between these words in a business context. Prices slump because there is nothing to keep them up any more; they plunge because sth has pushed them down. When prices tumble they fall quickly several times, rather than making one big fall all at once, as they do if they slump (which is not used in the progressive tenses). 在商务语境中这些词含义差别很小。slump指价格因失去了支撑而下跌；plunge指某件事把价格给拉了下来；tumble指价格连续几次快速下跌，而不像slump（不用于进行时）那样一次性骤降◆The price of oil is still slumping. Plummet often suggests the biggest fall, though not the fastest, from the highest level to the lowest. * plummet常含价格从顶点跌入低谷之意，跌幅最大，但跌速并非最快。
