Greetings!
The WordMaster goes back to school this week, but he won't be spending any time in the classroom. Instead, he'll be introducing you to a few of everyone's favorite “classes.” Enjoy!
BREAK (= time off) 休憩、休暇
- A break is a short period of time when you stop what you're doing in order to relax, eat, etc.
A break is also a longer period of time away from work or school when you relax and enjoy yourself. - break とは、自分のしていることをやめて、くつろいだり、何かを食べたりする短い時間、つまり、休憩のことです。
また break は、仕事や学校を休んで、くつろいだり楽しんだりする比較的長い期間、つまり、休暇という意味もあります。
- When I worked in Marunouchi, I used to jog around the Imperial Palace during my lunch break.
- I think we're all tired. Let's take a break and continue the meeting at 3:30.
- In my office, we get a fifteen-minute coffee break in the morning and another one in the afternoon.
- When I want a break from studying, I like to play computer games.
- I've been working all day without a break. I'm exhausted (= very tired)!
- Why don't you take a couple of days off? You need a break.
- Are you going anywhere over spring break?
See you tomorrow!
