今天节目中，我们来复习一下这个break through的用法。

这个短语的字面意思是：“突破、穿透”，我们以前节目中也讲过breakthrough这样一个复合名词的用法和例句。

break through可以理解成：

to push through a physical barrier或者to penetrate a barrier or obstruction

这里这样的用法就比较偏向于字面意思；

eg: The wrecking ball broke through the wall of the house at the start of the renovation.

eg: The miners broke through to their trapped friends.

eg: The escaping bank robbers broke through the police barricade by ramming it with their car.

这些逃跑的银行抢劫犯开着车硬闯，突破了警方设置的路障。

口语中，大家应该都知道break through还有“克服了某种难关，取得成功”这样的含义；

可以理解成：

to overcome sth.

或者：If you break through, you achieve success even though there are difficulties and obstacles.

eg: The scientists broke through the mystery surrounding the disease and found the cause.

这些科学家们揭开了这个疾病的神秘面纱，找到了这个疾病的起因。
