释义
To strike and bounce off something, especially in games like billiards. 'Carom' is also used for movements that hit one object and then deflect to another.
用法与细微差别
Most formal in billiards or table games; as a verb or noun. Outside pool/games, 'carom' is rare and literary. Common in phrases like 'carom off the wall'. Not the same as 'bounce' (which is broader).
