<p>The verb 吃(eat) has the extended meaning of 受(take) and the object has to be a physical contact or impact </p>

<p>Example:</p>

<p>吃一發子彈 (eat a bullet) = (take a bullet/ take a gun shot)</p>

<p>吃一拳 (eat a punch) = 受一拳 (take a punch)</p>

<p>吃一記耳光 (eat a slap on the face) =  (take a slap on the face) </p>

<p>吃这一声 is not grammatical. because a sound doesn't make physical contact with the subject. The phrase should be written as  聽了这一声 (heard this sound)</p>

<p>吃 here means "imposed by"
normaly 吃 means eating, as a result, you are full, or the volume or the size becomes larger. In an extended way, it means more and more heavy, more and more pressure passively.</p>

<p>For context the entire sentence is, "吃这一声，周昂忽然一下子睁开了眼睛。" Is it supposed to be something allong the lines of, "[the sound of] eating, this single sound"? This sentence isn't making much sense to me.</p>

I think it's a typo. It should be 哧. It's onomatopeoia.
