go for someone的意思

caiyun

下册第二篇课文“Eveline”的第23页的倒数第10行，有这么一句话：When they were growing up he (the father) had never gone for her, like he used to go for Harry and Ernest, because she was a girl, but latterly he had begun to threaten her and say what he would do to her only for her dead mother's sake。 这里的had never gone for her 是什么意思啊？我查了一下，go for someone是attack someone的意思，或者to apply to someone（适用）,或者把某人带回来。看不来都不是正确的解释啊。

go for 是攻击的意思。课文的意思就是，父亲从来没有打过她，因为她是女孩。
