And now, a word from our sponsors ...
(TV) COMMERCIAL (テレビ)コマーシャル
- A commercial is an advertisement on television or the radio.
Be Careful! In English we do NOT call commercials “CM”. - commercial は、テレビやラジオで流される広告のことです。
注意:英語では、コマーシャルのことを日本語のように CM とは呼びません。
- I saw a TV commercial for Berlitz when I was in Germany. It was very clever!
- (talking about a famous Hollywood actor)
He was in a whiskey commercial on Japanese television. I heard they paid him a million dollars to do that commercial. - (watching a movie on TV)
They're sure showing a lot of commercials during this movie. - Let's check the other channels during the commercials and see what else is on.
- (watching a TV program recorded on VHS)
Do you mind if we fast-forward through the commercials?
Thanks for watching!
