從頭到尾經過一遍
這一家就是核心畫面本身:手或眼睛在整個東西上走過一遍。差別只在走過之後想達成什麼——看清楚,還是弄乾淨。
noun · C1
A thorough check of something, or of someone's work or past, in which every part is looked at closely to find out whether it is all right.
徹底檢查
Picture a hand, or a pair of eyes, moving slowly across the whole surface of something — from one end to the other, missing nothing. A going-over is that one complete pass. What the pass is for is what changes from meaning to meaning: to find faults, to get the thing clean, or, in one rough British use, to hurt a person.

把同一個動作用到人身上
句型完全沒變,只是 give 後面放的是人。原本用在東西上的那股「一遍一遍來」的力道,落到人身上就成了打人。這是英式口語的用法,來源標為 British English。
noun · C2
To hit someone and hurt them. This use is informal, and the source marks it as British English.
痛打一頓
