Reached

既可指空间上的抵达(reached the coast),也可指程度或目标的实现(reached an agreement),以及通过电话或邮件联系上对方(could not reach him)。

  1. “We reached the campsite before sunset.” (我们在日落前到达了营地。)
  2. “Sales reached a record high this quarter.” (本季度销售额创下新高。)
  3. “I tried calling, but I never reached her.” (我试着打电话,但一直联系不上她。)

“reach” 源自古英语 rǣcan(伸出、抵达),与德语 reichen(递、够到)同源。

reach + -ed 为规则过去式;名词 reach 可指“手臂伸及的范围”或“影响力所及”。

谈判 “reached a deal” 是新闻常用表述;登山 “reached the summit” 象征成就;客服 “unable to reach the customer” 为商务用语。

  • 固定搭配: “reached out” (主动联系), “reach a decision” (做出决定), “within reach” (触手可及)

把 reach 想成手臂向前伸,-ed 表示指尖已经碰到目标:reached 就是“够到了”。

“The charity reached its fundraising goal two days before the deadline.” (慈善机构在截止日期前两天就达到了筹款目标。)
