看美剧学英语地道表达:Dig in

明月

Dig in: Press hard into something; If you say that someone is digging in, you mean that they are not changing their mind or weakening their efforts, although they may be losing a contest or facing difficult problems. (面临失败、困境等时)固执己见，坚定立场，坚持不懈; mix something with soil; soldiers: dig a place; to start eating food with a lot of enthusiasm. As in Come on, everybody – dig in!

中文释义：Dig in的完整说法是dig in one's heel，这个口语表达的意思是 to refuse to compromise or change one's mind，也就是“立场坚定，拒绝让步或改变主意，毫不动摇”的意思。这个口语表达可以理解为，站稳了自己的脚跟，这样就立场坚定不妥协了。另外dig in还有其他意思：把......混入；（士兵）挖掩体隐蔽，掘壕防守，可以是dig in，也可以是dig oneself in；开动（开始吃）。例句: My parents wanted me to give up writing, but I dug in my heels and went on to become a famous writer.（父母劝我放弃写作，但我立场坚定，立志成为一名出色的作家。）
