關於Hail的意思和用法的提問

A: It means a very large amount of bullets coming all at once, for example from one or several machine guns. It uses as a metaphor the way hail falls from the sky; there are a lot of small pieces of ice coming at once.

A: The word hail could mean several things. Typically the word is used to explain that ice is falling from the sky. Another way to use the word hail would be to say that something is falling from the sky. For example, if you were to say:

"The arrows came hailing from the sky!"

But mostly it is used to point out that ice is falling down from the sky, (weather).

A: @ChronicProcrastinato: 'To hail' in this context literally means to pay attention to, or to behold with reverence. But nowadays we don't really use that word in that context aside from saying that somebody has been "hailed as the new _______," or in this specific phrase, "All hail," which is usually just used in things like fantasy TV shows or movies (or Britain, I suppose) to announce somebody royal coming into a room and that everybody should pay attention and respect to them.

A: "All hail" is to announce someone has arrived. So it means "Greet the Queen" or "Please stand for the Queen".

A: For example: All hail to the king. Basically meaning to bow, to greet or to welcome.

A: Hardly! I've never heard in it daily conversations. I've only seen it written in fantasy novels.

A: This is fairly common but has a limited number of phrases.

...hail something as a success...

...hail somebody as a hero...

In each case the second noun can vary...

...hail something as a triumph...

...hail somebody as a saviour...

And so on...

A: The “hail core” is where you will find the heaviest precipitation in a supercell (most violent rain and hail).

A:

I assume “entreatment” is a typo and you mean “entertainment!”

1. the word/verb “hail from” is a very old way of saying “comes from” or “is from”

It’s definitely not used in speech or writing anymore, unless you wanted to be very dramatic and funny! 😄

but you might hear it in a movie,
ex: Thor: I hail from Valhalla!

The only time “hailing” is used is in the word “ride-hailing.” ride-hailing is when someone calls for a “ride/transportation” and a driver comes. Uber is a ride-hailing company.

the noun hail is also frozen rain 🌧️ and this is a common word

2. from is natural and common. it is a neutral word. sentence two means maybe the entertainment agency owns the performance group’s music/art/etc, but maybe they only have a contract with the performance group.

3. “belonging to x” means the property of someone or a company. This performance group belongs to one of the biggest entertainment agencies = The entertainment agency owns the performance group.

Sony recently purchased 50% of Michael Jackson’s songs. The songs now belong to Sony. (50% belongs to Sony)

The word belongings = a formal way of saying, things that someone or a company owns.
A: Are these Pokemon cards your belongings?
B: Yes! I lost these cards one month ago!

i don’t know why but we don’t usually say “is belonging to”
instead we just say belong/belongs

A:

This is John. He comes from New York.

This is John. He’s from New York.

A: hail is solid ice

sleet is halfway between ice and water

A: Hail is solid, i think sleet is like watery snow.

A: I mostly agree with but the person wasn't ten minutes from home. They'd been home for ten minutes when it stopped.

I would say:
"Yesterday, on my way home from work, it was hailing so hard that I thought I might freeze to death. But within ten minutes of my getting home, it suddenly stopped. I realized I would've been better off waiting it out at work."

"waiting it out" = waiting for something to finish (usually something unpleasant)
