Surge: If something surges, it increases suddenly and greatly, after being steady or developing only slowly.

Jump: If an amount or level jumps, it suddenly increases or rises by a large amount in a short time.

Soar: If the amount, value, level, or volume of something soars, it quickly increases by a great deal.

三者意思相同,更好的翻译应该是在短时间内迅速增长

造句时也可用同样的构造:

The Freedom Party's electoral support surged/jumped/soared from just under 10 per cent to nearly 17 per cent.[1,2,3]

 个人比较倾向使用surge和soar。[4]


Sink: If something sinks to a lower level or standard, it falls to that level or standard.

Drop: If a level or amount drops or if someone or something drops it, it quickly becomes less.

Decline: If something declines, it becomes less in quantity, importance, or strength.

三者指的下跌不同。

Sink指的是等级或水平的下降,这个意思中的sink比较少见,可能较多用在金融行业,如:Share prices would have sunk – hurting small and big investors,也可见Sunk Cost

Drop指的是水平或者数量上的减少,如:Temperatures can drop to freezing at night.

Decline指的是数量、重要性和力量的减弱,如The number of staff has declined from 217,000 to 114,000.

但个人认为dropdecline在大部分情况下可以互相代替,如: 

'Huge decline': U.S. life expectancy drops as the coronavirus pandemic rages on

Life expectancy in the United States dropped a staggering one year during the first half of 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic caused its first wave of deaths, health officials are reporting.[5]
