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。slump [countable] (especially journalism尤用于新闻 or business商业) a period when a country's economy or a business is doing badly萧条期；衰退◆housing sales are finally coming out of a three-month slump.房屋销售终于走出了连续三个月的萧条期。◆the toy industry is in a slump.现在玩具业不景气。 opp boom → do well ➡ see also slump → reduction slump [countable] a sudden fall in sales, prices or the value of sth（销售量、价格或价值的）骤降，猛跌，锐减◆the recession led to a slump in consumer spending.经济衰退导致消费开支急剧下滑。◆the present slump has hit manufacturing hard.目前的金融危机严重打击了制造业。 ➡ see also slump → recession noun , slump → slump verb note 辨析 downturn or slump?both words can be used in the context of business or the economy.这两个词均可用于商务或经济语境◆a downturn / slump in demand / trade / business / profits需求／贸易额／生意／利润下滑／骤降however, a slump is a bigger and more sudden fall, usually seen from the point of view of the business that is losing money.不过，slump 是更严重、更突然的下降，一般是从亏损企业的角度看。slump [intransitive] (not usually used in the progressive tenses通常不用于进行时) (business商业) to fall in price, value or level, suddenly and by a large amount（价格、价值或水平）骤降，猛跌，锐减◆profits slumped by over 50%.利润突降 50% 以上。opp jump , surge → soar ➡ see also slump → reduction noun slump¹/slʌmp ||;
