Strike out Meaning in English
expression
释义
To fail at something, to remove text by drawing a line through it, or (in baseball and similar sports) to be put out after three misses.
用法与细微差别
Informal in the sense of failing or starting independently: 'strike out on your own'. In baseball, very common: 'He struck out.' As a phrasal verb, it can mean to remove words ("strike out the mistake"). Often misunderstood: in idioms, 'strike out' means fail or be rejected, not physical striking.
