动词 v.
中文释义

英文释义

动词 v.
  1. To return to one's house, or to any place of origin.
    — Lion hunts are highly choreographed, rarefied affairs; you’re looking at $70,000 before you even load your rifle. Then there are the game fees for the bait you’ll need − a zebra, warthog and a kudu, say − and for the lion itself. All in, you’re looking at a six-figure outlay with no guarantee that you’ll come home with a lion skin for a rug. (Taxidermy not included.)
  2. To touch a person's interests or feelings closely; to be fully understood or realised.
    — It was only when I heard the police sirens that the seriousness of what I had done came home to me.
  3. To drag or slip through the ground.
  4. To achieve success (typically by winning an international competition) in the country in which the sport was invented.
