Language Enhancement:
Band together (ph.)(團結)
正如名詞的 band「樂隊」是一個所有成員團結一致的表演團體，動詞片語的 band together 也帶有這種「團結／連繫」的意思，形容人們團結起來邁向相同的目標。
e.g. All the villagers have banded together to stop the government from tearing down their homes.
e.g. Sometimes enemies must band together to ward off a more powerful foe, so do we have an agreement? Are we willing to work together to fight against the Brotherhood? —————————————————
