break是打破,break for lunch是“不吃午饭吗?”
近期,三名13岁的上海男孩上了头条,他们在没有父母监护的情况下,独自从上海骑自行车到杭州。
Three 13-year-old boys from Shanghai have recently made headlines by embarking on a solo cycling trip from Shanghai to Hangzhou without parental supervision.
①make headlines 成为头条新闻
也就是现在常说的“上头条”,比如某歌手一发新歌就有人make headlines。
注意这里headlines要用复数哦,它除了和make搭配,还常和hit放一起→hit headlines
都是表示成为头条新闻,此外还可以用动词dominate(占据)搭→dominate headlines②embark什么意思?
embark风雨em(in)+bark(树皮),bark一词由“树皮”引申为“木头”。
由于古代用木头制造小船,因此embark的字面意思就是in ship(在船上)。当人们跳入船中时,也就是船开始航行之际,所以embark又引申出“开始、着手”的意思。
还特指着手、开始“新的/艰难的/兴奋的事情”:
If you embark on something new, difficult, or exciting, you start doing it.
常和介词on连用。
He's embarking on a new career as a writer.
他正开始一个当作家的新生涯。
③cycling trip 骑行旅行
④supervision 监视、监督、照看
parental supervision就是指父母看护、父母监护
Supervision is the supervising of people, activities, or places.
A toddler requires close supervision and firm control at all times.
刚学走路的孩子需要时刻认真照看,牢牢管住。

The trio, consisting of three boys from Zhoupu Experimental School in Shanghai, share a passion for cycling and decided to challenge themselves during their summer break.
⑤trio什么意思?
Triple means consisting of three things or parts.
trio表示“三”,如果觉得trio很陌生,不容易记住,可以想想这个词组→triple kill游戏里的“三杀”。
A trio is a group of three people together, especially musicians or singers, or a group of three things that have something in common.
同时trio尤指演奏或演唱的三人小组、三件套。
classy American songs from a Texas trio

If someone breaks for a short period of time, they rest or change from what they are doing for a short period.
break可以表示(短暂的) 休息。

他们停下来吃午饭。
同时也可以用作名词,常用词组→take a break 休息一下
句子里的summer break指暑假。
