用法与细微差别
Usually suggests a strong, sudden, physical movement toward something, often with intent or urgency. Commonly followed by an object (e.g., 'lunge for the phone'). Not formal. Do not confuse with just 'lunge' (step forward, in exercise or attack) which does not always have the intent to grab.
