A packed Caribbean Airlines passenger jet broke in two at the edge of a ravine after overshooting the runway last month.

上月，一架滿載乘客的加勒比航空客機滑出跑道，在峽谷邊緣斷成兩截。

Tell Me More

There are lots of ways to use the word “overshoot.” It began as a definition for shooting at a target and missing. Instead of hitting the target, the bullet flew over the target, which led to the word overshoot.

Nowadays, it means going past or exceeding the limits of a place or thing of concept. So an airplane can overshoot the runway and crash land.

A man will be on a date with one woman and start staring at another. His friend might say, “Don’t overshoot your luck. You’ve got one woman. That’s your limit.” Or, someone might say, “He overshot his budget, and now he’s got no money to spend on lunch.”

Overshoot這個詞有很多種用法。起初是說射擊時沒打中靶子。子彈沒有射中目標，而是越過去了，于是有了overshoot這個詞。

如今，overshoot意思是超越了空間的界限，或者做得過分。所以飛機會overshoot（滑出跑道），撞向地面。

當某男與女友約會，卻在盯著另一個美女看時，他的朋友可能會說：別太過分。你已經有一個了。要有限度。或者有人可能會說：“他的花銷大大超出預算，現在都沒錢吃午飯了。”
