in one's wake

美国总统布什1日在密西西比州的南黑文参加完一个政治集会准备乘车离开会场时，一辆汽车突破警戒线撞上他演讲的会场建筑物，不过布什没有受伤。外电中的报道是这样的：A woman rammed a car carrying children into a building where President Bush was campaigning, drawing a swarm of police in her wake before being dragged away at gunpoint.这句话中in one’s wake的意思是close behind and in the same path of travel as，即“尾随，紧跟在…的后面”。再来看一个例句：The car left clouds of dust in its wake.（车子后面扬起一阵尘土。）
