Reader's Digest ３・４月合併号の記事 "Operation: Find Avery " からの引用です。
Raquel Witherspoon, 38. was frantically searching for her daughter's Yorkshir terrier, Avery, in June 2022 after making a shocking discovery. Doorbell camera footage showed a young woman with dyed-red hair creep onto her front porch, throw treats to Avery, then make off with the tiny dog.
簡単な単語で構成されている句動詞も意味を推測するのが難しい。上記の文は犬を持ち去ったと推測できますが。"make off with" を辞書で確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: to steal something and hurry away with it: Thieves made off with $30 000 worth of computer equipment.
・Collins Dictionary: If you make off with something, you steal it and take it away with you.: Masked robbers broke in and made off with $8,000.
・Farlex Dictionary of Idioms: To escape with someone or something that has been stolen, snatched, etc.: The thieves busted the ATM and made off with the cash inside.
"with" の無い "make off" だと、単に立ち去る場合に使われます。
