1. 认识这个词(基础篇)   




词:-bound   




例句:Homebound 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”时的用法比较单一,常常可以用来替换最常见的 go 和 be bound for。比如“travelers who are going home”或者“travelers bound for home” 就可以用更简洁的“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。   




同样,我们如果想说“飞往北京的航班”就可以说 a Beijing-bound flight。比如一辆飞往北京的航班在正要起飞前被禁飞了,就可以说成:   




The Beijing-bound flight was grounded shortly before takeoff.   




3. 从认识到会用(作业)
