Hola!
No entiendo el significado de "burrow into" en este contexto, en el que se habla de dos novios... No sé si tenga algo que ver con cabar.
"She held on to him, burrowed into him".

Gracias

se acurrucó contra él
Creo que se refiere a esconderse usando a la otra persona como su cubierta.

I WAS JUST TAKING MY ECPE EXAM PRACTICE BOOK, WHEN I CAME UP AGAINST THIS SENTENCE:
SOME SPONGES(BORING SPONGES)_____________ INTO THE SURFACE OF CORALS AND MOLLUSCS.
I HAD 4 ALTERNATIVES:
A)BURROW B) GAIN C) SCRAPE D) ERODE
THE BOOK SUGGESTS LETTER A AS THE ANSWER, wHAT'S THE MEANING OF "BURROW INTO" IN THIS CONTEXT?
MY TRY:
ALGUNAS ESPONJAS (ESPONJAS ABURRIDAS) SE AFERRAN A LA SUPERFICIE DE MOLUSCOS Y CORALES.
No son esponjas aburridas.

De Merriam-Webster:
transitive verb
1: to pierce with a turning or twisting movement of a tool
2: to make (as a cylindrical hole) by boring or digging away material <bored a tunnel>
intransitive verb
1a : to make a hole by or as if by boring b : to sink a mine shaft or well
2: to make one's way steadily especially against resistance <we bored through the jostling crowd>
