She goes charging past It has called me to mind a sentence from a training pronounciation book: "Barbara's car is a Jaguar and Barbara drives rather fast. "Castles, farms and draughty barns she goes charging past". I wonder, what that "charging past" may be? Dictionaries give the slang meaning of "to charge" as "to thrill, to kick". We can also find "to rush forward, to atack". Does she go thrilling (or kicking) past those objects? Or does she go past them rushing forward, attacking like in Formula-1? Or does she go just simply kicking around those objects, but fast as it had been said before? What do you think?
