adv.
<拉>直入本题地,直接交代事件发展过程地
adverb
(Latin) in the middle of things; starting in the middle, rather than at the beginning of a series of events, as a narrative.
拉丁语,字面意思为“在事物中间”,来自 medius,意为“中间”(见 medial(形容词))的第三格复数 medias + res,意为“一件事”(见 re)。出自荷拉斯(Horace),指叙述技巧:
Semper ad eventum festinat, et in medias res,
Non secus ac notas auditorem rapit (etc.)
Latin, literally, into the midst of things
