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)   

1)翻译下面的句子:   

孙赫在一辆驶向北京的高铁上霸占他人座位,因此被列入黑名单 180 天。   

SunHe occupied other's seat forcibly on a Beijing-bound high-speed  train, therefore he was blacklisted for  180 days.

造句

A south-bound car raced past, leaving a gust of wind.

(参考翻译:Sun He, the man who aggressively occupied another passenger’s seat on a Beijing-bound high-speed train, was blacklisted for 180 days.)
