词汇 | bark |
词源 | bark. American pioneers were often excellent marksmen. At a distance of 100 yards or more, for example, an expert could bark a squirrel with a rifle shot, that is, hit the limb the squirrel was sitting on, the concussion killing the animal without wounding it. Some marksmen claim they can do this today. |
