據(jù)悉，颶風麗塔預計將在美國得克薩斯登陸，美國國土安全部宣布颶風"麗塔"為"全國性重大事件"，并正式啟動全國性應急機制，墨西哥灣沿岸130萬人受命疏散。請看報道：
Thousands of Mexicans live and work in Texas, but still have family - or even second homes - in Mexico. With Ritabearing down onthe Gulf coast, many felt it was time to go home, at least for a week or so.
文中bear down on的意思是"逼近，襲擊"。 請看例句：The enemy warship tried to bear down on our small airboat.（敵艦企圖逼近我們的小汽艇。）此外，bear down on 還有"重重落于……之上"的意思。如：Responsibility for his family bears down on a young man.（養(yǎng)家的重任對于年輕人是重擔。）
