Splutter是英語中的動詞及名詞,英式發音為[ˈsplʌtə(r)],美式發音為[ˈsplʌtər]。作動詞時,指因憤怒或尷尬而急促說話,或物體發出短促爆裂聲;作名詞時描述此類聲音,複數形式為splutters。柯林斯詞典將其用法歸納為情緒表達(如splutter with rage)與物理現象(如engine splutter)兩類。
該詞起源於擬聲,通過聲音模擬演化出描述人類行為和機械運作的雙重語義。常見於口語及文學場景,如嗆咳聲(cough and splutter)、機械故障(engine spluttered)及情緒化對話(spluttered about protests)。其動詞形式涵蓋噴濺、大笑時噴出液體等動作。在英語考試如雅思、托福中被列為低頻辭彙。
