run to earth 是从猎人狩猎的过程中总结出来的成语。猎人追踪猎物通常是尾随其后，紧追不放。但是对付像狐狸那样狡猾的动物则不那么简单，它们经常能够从猎人的猎枪下逃脱，狐狸逃跑后不会临时找个地方藏身，而是径直奔回自己的巢穴，直到猎人走后才出来活动。但是再狡猾的狐狸也逃不过好猎手的追踪，经验丰富的猎手正是靠狐狸逃跑时留下的踪迹一路追下去，最终将它捕获的。

由此可知，run to earth的含义就是“追寻至洞穴＂。

例如：

The hunters ran the fox to earth .

猎人们追踪狐狸到洞穴。

run to earth 含义进一步发展，又有“查明所在之处＂的意思。

例如：

I finally ran him to earth in a hotel.

我终于查明他在一家旅店里。
