例 Honey, don't you think it's time you had a father/son talk with Jimmy? He'll be fourteen next year and he's already showing an interest in girls. I've read somewhere that teenagers start going all the way at quite an early age these days, so you'd better talk to him before he makes a mistake.

5. go astray ** 迷路；脫軌；犯錯

解 習語；詞義溯源：處于［迷路、犯錯（astray）］的狀態(tài)
