Ready to take a drive through the Wednesday WordMaster? Who knows what we'll see along the way?!
PULL (OUT/INTO/OVER) （車を）出す／入れる／寄せる
- If a car or its driver pulls out, the car is driven onto a road from a driveway, a gas station, the side of the road, etc.
If a car or its driver pulls into a driveway, gas station, etc., the car is driven from the road into the driveway, etc.
If a car moving along a road or its driver pulls over, the car is driven to the side of the road and stopped. - 車の運転について pull out と言うと、私道、ガソリンスタンド、路肩などから、道路へ車を出す、という意味になります。
同じく、 pull into と言うと、道路から、私道やガソリンスタンドなどへ車を入れる、という意味になります。
また、 pull over と言うと、走行中の車を、路肩に寄せて停車する、という意味になります。
- (talking about her trip to Japan)
The service at the gas stations in Tokyo was great. The attendants even stopped traffic for us so we could pull out safely. - Crazy driver! Did you see that? He pulled out of the parking lot without even checking traffic!
- (to a guest who has just arrived at your home)
You'd better not park on the street. Go ahead and pull into our driveway. - (passenger to driver)
Maybe you should pull over. There's an ambulance coming. - (passenger to driver)
Would you mind pulling the car over next to that mailbox? I want to mail this letter.
Have a great day!
