hole up
躲起来


讲解:
hole up字面意思是“挖个洞躲在里面”,引申“躲起来”。意思很容易理解,也相当传神。

例句:
At about 2:30 the next morning,a white van loaded with special police units in stocking masks and jeans roared up to the leafy compound where the ex-strongman (Slobodan Milosovic) had been holed up since last fall.(出自:TIME, Apr. 9,2001,p. 21)
第二天凌晨大约两点半时,一辆白色厢型车,里面满载戴着丝袜头罩、穿着牛仔裤的警察特勤组,大声疾驰到那块林木蓊郁的建筑群,前强人〔米洛塞维奇〕从去年秋天以来就一直躲在这里。
