词:-bound  

例句:Home-bound travelers were stranded at the airport.

2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

“-bound”作为后缀使用常常有两个意思。一个是“被包围、限制”,比如 wheelchair-bound(坐轮椅的),tradition-bound(受传统约束的);另一个意思是“驶向”,比如 homebound,常用来表示“回家的”。今天我们主要学习它的第二个意思,我们通过一些例句掌握它的用法。    

“-bound”表示“驶向”时,可以用来替换最常见的 go 和 be bound for。比如“travelers who are going home”,“travelers bound for home” =“home-bound travelers”表示:    

Homebound travelers were stranded at the airport.

在纽约的地铁中经常就可以听到 -bound。播报员会用 xx-bound 表示地铁的行驶方向,比如:    

This is a Manhattan-bound 2 local train, the next stop is 174th Street.

上面的话就表示这趟车是开往曼哈顿方向的。如果你在波士顿坐地铁,可能就会听到下面的话:    

This is an inbound/outbound train.

inbound 是驶向市内的列车,outbound 是驶出市内的列车。    

飞往北京的航班 a Beijing-bound flight。

The Beijing-bound flight was grounded shortly before takeoff.
