thrust在文中的理解

She ran along the road, trying to control the excited thrusts of hope.

她沿路跑着，竭力克制期望带来的激动心情。

问题：

请问thrust在文中的意思是？

thrust: [COUNTABLE]aquickhardpush: 猛推，推，刺，戳，插。

thrusts of hope: 内心中期望的一阵阵涌动，thrust在此引申为涌动、冲动。excited在此为转移修饰。即excited并非修饰trusts的，而是表示she此时的状况为excited。比如 the sad face= the face of a sad person.

trying to control the excited thrusts of hope. （she was excited at the thrusts of hope)

试图控制期望带给她的激动心情。
