| 释义 | drag (once / 114 pages) 1vn 2vn 3vn 4vn 5v 6v 7v 8n To drag something means to physically pull it, like when you drag your sofa to the other side of the living room in order to get a better view of the TV. Drag can also mean to prolong something. In this case, drag is often followed by the words "out" or "on." You could describe a class that drags on for hours, or try to drag out your homework to get out of doing the dishes. You can also drag someone unwillingly into a discussion or other situation. Anything that's boring and tedious can also be called a drag — like lunches with your great aunt Martha or cleaning the bathroom.
