英语词汇“hark”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

Hark generally means to constantly go back to something in the past, but it can also mean "Listen!" — as in "Hark! The herald angels sing!"

Still complaining about that bad haircut you got last year? Well, don't hark back to it anymore! Hark has an interesting origin: it comes from the term "to hark back," which was the process by which hunting dogs used to retrace the scent of their prey when they had lost it to try to pick it up again. When you complain about that bad haircut for the umpteenth time, just remember you're behaving just like a dog. Maybe that will stop you.
