A borehole is a deep, narrow hole that people make in the ground with special drilling machines, not with a . The usual reason is to reach water, oil, or gas, or to bring up bits of rock so people can see what lies under the surface. It often goes straight down and can go a very long way. Engineers and people who study rock use the word as an everyday term; you will also meet it in news about wells, mines, or building work. A well that people drink from may start as a borehole. There is a verb too — to borehole, meaning to make such a hole — though the noun is far more common.
鑽井;鑽孔(為了取水、石油或探查地層)
