HOME>Word Master®>[business] HOURS ［営業］時間
It's great to see you again! We're looking forward to another week with you here at Berlitz WordMaster. It's sure to be fun!
Now get ready for the Monday edition! |
An hour is, of course, 60 minutes. But we can use the word hours to mean a particular period of time. For example, many companies do business from 9 to 5, so their "business hours" are from 9 to 5.
hours という言葉は、６０分に換算できる時間の単位ではなく、何かをする時間（期間）を表すことがあります。例えば、会社の営業時間のことをbusiness hours といいます。

These days she rarely leaves the office before 11 p.m. |
