Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆：leap 跃起时双脚离地（leave the ground），首字母 l 像起跳的侧影——奋力一跃。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：everyday speech、news reports、written narrative leap 作动词表示“跳”时比较通用，但比 jump 稍显书面和正式；日常口语中说 jump 更自然，书面语、新闻报道或强调动作幅度时多用 leap。实际使用中常可互换，主要看语气和文体。
Grammar Note
常与 from, to 连用表示状态或位置的变化。
Pronunciation & Spelling
