    To beeline is to go quickly and straight toward someone or something, without wandering. People more often say make a beeline for a place than use beeline as a bare verb, but both happen, especially in American English. The picture comes from an old belief that a bee flies in a straight line back to its hive. Whether bees always do that, people still argue; the English phrase grew from that belief, not from a science lesson. It is informal. You beeline for food, for the door, for a friend across the room.

    直奔、抄直線衝過去(常說 make a beeline for)
