We gave you a first peek at it on Friday, and now it has arrived in earnest. Welcome to our two-week celebration of the 2006 Asian Games! From now until the Games end, we'll be introducing you to a set of key expressions for talking about this gathering of Asia's finest athletes.
Now, let the Games begin!
EVENT 催し物、競技種目
- An event is a planned gathering of people, such as a party, a movie premiere, or the Asian Games.
The word event is also used to talk about an individual competition within a larger sports program, such as in the Olympics or the Asian Games. - event とは、パーティー、映画の初日、アジア大会などの特別な目的を持った会合、つまり、催し物、行事のことです。
また、event は、オリンピックやアジア大会などの大規模なスポーツの大会における個々の競技種目、という意味でも使われます。
