what the 'crows drives'

TombCrow
in Tomb Raider Legend

Featured Replies

Hi, everyone,

English is not my native language and there is some difficulty for me to understand the story of Legend :wacko:

At the end of the Kazakhstan level, Alister tells Lara that the map she found leads to Cornwall. Lara asks:

' As in, take the M5 to the A30 Cornwall? '

The answer is:

' As the crow drives. '

I don't know what ' As the crow drives ' means. I found some examples in google but still, I can't quite catch the meaning of this sentence... :unsure:

Can anyone explain it to me please? Thanks in advance. :)

PS: and what does ' as in' means? I'm not sure about it... :huh:

    Hi TombCrow. Welcome to LCO.

    Alister actually says "As the crow flies". Here's what I found at wikipedia.

    "As the crow flies" is a colloquial term used to describe the most direct route between two points on the Earth. It is most often used to differentiate distance along this route from that along a less direct route, such as a road or railroad, and is generally the same as the great circle route. Some people use the variation "by the crow flies".

    Thank you so much!

    so, as the crow drives=as the crow flies?

    and, what does 'as in' means? :huh:

    Yes, Morph, and AJ are correct.

    'As the crow flies' is used because crows use the most direct route to anywhere, e.g. straight line.

    'As in' can also be used to advance a sentence, e.g. "My initials are LM, as in Lara Mackey."

    Hope that helps!

    MsC
