hammer home
再三强调到彻底了解
讲解:
hammer是“铁锤”,当动词则表示“捶打”。hammer home字面上是说在钉钉子的时候用力敲击,让钉子完全嵌入、钉牢。比喻“三令五申、以各式手法强调”,让对方完全了解,不易忘记。
例句:
By the time Congress returns from its two-week recess next Monday,about 35 Cabinet members and other Administration officials will have taken part in 70 health-care events across the country. The goal behind this burst of activity: to hammer home five simple points about the Presidents health-care plan in language many Americans have not heard before. (出自:TIME,Apr. 11,1994,p. 40 )
