英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A track made beforehand or in advance.
  2. A track made by the forelegs of an animal.
    — This directional predominance of the forelegs over the hindlegs indicates that placing the forelegs under stimulus control is a major component in training straightness (where the hindhooves step into the foretracks).
动词 v.
  1. To track beforehand or in advance. transitive
    — If, thereby, in the proximate future even two or three of the great Atlantic storms that ravage the sail-whitened offings of the British coasts can, every year, be foretracked and their destination be telegraphically and officially announced to the threatened European districts, the life-saving and property-saving thus effected would amply compensate for all the labor and expense of the international system, to which such timely storm-warnings would owe their success.
  2. To track in a forward direction. transitive
    — Marten trails were foretracked and backtracked as far as possible.
