come to a head，意为到头，但不是结束的意思

come to a head 字面意思是“到头”，它没有任何的意义，而且也不是结束的意思，可以意为“到了危急关头，到达关键点，到达关键时刻”等，寓意：

to reach a point in a situation where action needs to be taken

达到需要采取行动的地步

a culmination of events leading to a conclusion

通向结论的事件的高潮

解析：现在分词 leading to a conclustion 作定语，说明被修饰词 events 的特征，此时可换成相应的定语从句。

come to a crucial point

到了关键时刻

to come to a point when a problem must be solved

到了必须解决问题的地步

它还有一种表达方式 bring sth to a head.

例如：
