2009.08.07(Review of 2003.10.17 edition)
We're back at the ballpark and things have heated up - way up!
(IMPORTANT!! The WordMaster will be giving his keyboard a rest next week for the Obon holiday. He'll return on Monday the 17th and hopes to see you then!)
(BASES) LOADED 満塁、フルベース
- The bases are loaded when there is a runner on every base.
Be Careful! The expression “full base” (フルベース) is Japanese-English and is NOT used to mean the bases are loaded. - The bases are loaded は、全ての塁にランナーがいる状態、つまり、満塁のことです。
注意: full base (フルベース)は和製英語で、 loaded の意味にはなりません。
- The pitcher walked a batter while the bases were loaded, and a run was scored.
- A “grand slam” is when a batter hits a home run with the bases loaded.
- (baseball announcer)
It's the ninth inning, the bases are loaded, and “Take it to the Max” Berlitz is at bat. What a moment! It just doesn't get any more exciting than this!
Hit a home run next week, all right? In fact, make it a grand slam! In other words, have a terrific holiday - and we'll see you on the 17th!
