軍隊越過界線
最字面的一支:那條線是真的邊界,越線的是軍隊。
noun · C1
A sudden, usually short attack in which armed forces cross into land that belongs to another country or group, without meaning to stay and hold it.
突入/侵入
One way to hold it: a line drawn on the ground, and something suddenly coming in across it from the other side. The word names that one movement inward — not the staying, not the going out again, just the crossing in.
From Middle English, borrowed from Old French, from Latin incursiō. The word came into English already meaning a running in upon someone, and the modern senses all keep that one inward movement.
從中古英文往前推,是借自古法文,再往前是拉丁文 incursiō。它進到英文時就帶著「衝進來」的意思,今天的每一個用法都還留著那個往內的方向。

澳洲學校:讓外面的人進來
同樣是往內跨過校門這條線,但這一支把「不受歡迎」整個拿掉了,因為這裡的進來是學校自己請的。
