據(jù)悉，颶風(fēng)麗塔預(yù)計(jì)將在美國(guó)得克薩斯登陸，美國(guó)國(guó)土安全部宣布颶風(fēng)"麗塔"為"全國(guó)性重大事件"，并正式啟動(dòng)全國(guó)性應(yīng)急機(jī)制，墨西哥灣沿岸130萬(wàn)人受命疏散。請(qǐng)看報(bào)道：
Thousands of Mexicans live and work in Texas, but still have family -
or even second homes - in Mexico. With Rita bearing
down on the Gulf coast, many felt it was time to go home, at least
for a week or so.
文中bear down on的意思是"逼近，襲擊"。 請(qǐng)看例句：The enemy warship tried to bear down on
our small airboat.（敵艦企圖逼近我們的小汽艇。）此外，bear down on
還有"重重落于……之上"的意思。如：Responsibility for his family bears down on a young
man.（養(yǎng)家的重任對(duì)于年輕人是重?fù)?dān)。）
