Today's Lesson
APPOINTMENT BOOK vs. PLANNER   手帳 vs. システム手帳

Explanation

  • An appointment book is a book with pages showing the days, weeks, or months of the year on which you can write scheduled activities and other things to do.

    A planner is an appointment book, especially one with extra features such as separate space for “to do” lists, extra pages for telephone numbers and addresses, blank pages for notes, etc.
  • appointment book とは、ページが日、週あるいは月別になっていて、予定された活動やその他するべきことを書き込めるようになっている手帳のことです。

    planner は、予定のほかに、することのリスト(to do リスト)や電話番号、住所欄、空白のメモ欄などのページがついた手帳、つまりシステム手帳のことです。
