I had gone downstairs at three o 'clock to fetch a jug of water; and was passing through the hall with it in my hand, when a sharp knock at the front door made me jump.
我在三点钟下楼去拿一罐水,正在提着水罐走过大厅时,这时前门一阵猛敲使我吓一跳。

You don't have to jump out of bed (unless your alarm clock is on the other side of the room) but you do need to sit up in bed as soon as you wake up.
你不必立马起床(除非闹钟在房间的另一边),但醒后你得尽快坐起来。

Every day we jump out of bed with the earsplitting ring of the alarm-clock, swallow a quick breakfast and then rush to catch the bus.
