    大家都知道water是水,jerk匆促抽取的意思,所以jerkwater从字面看就是匆促取水。


  铁路沿线的某些小镇十分冷落,火车在那儿停靠,只是为了让机组人员拉上水管、伸往铁轨旁的水箱,一上完水立即赶路。 前后甚至耽搁不了一分钟时间。于是这种供水站性质的乡村小镇就得到了“jerkwater town”这样的称号。
  例句:I admire that man. You know, he came from some jerkwater town nobody ever heard of, but now he's one of the most successful traders on the New York stock exchange.
  他说:我赞赏那位先生。 要知道他出身在穷乡僻壤一个默默无闻的小镇,但是如今却是纽约证券市场最成功的交易商。
  这里的jerkwater town是冷落的小镇。
