Welcome back!
History has many important lessons to teach, and so the WordMaster felt it was time to teach a few important lessons about history itself. Our job this week is to give you an introduction to the language of history, especially the economic history that is of such concern to anyone with an interest in business.
Look forward to it, because this week is going to be one for the history books!
DECADE / CENTURY １０年／１００年、１世紀
- A decade is a period of 10 years.
A century is a period of 100 years. - decade は、１０年のことです。
century は、１００年、つまり、１世紀のことです。
- It's hard to believe two decades have already passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
- The decade of the 1990s (= 1990-1999) was a time of tremendous economic growth in the United States.

Proud to have served you for half a century (= 50 years). - Albert Einstein was one of the most influential scientists of the twentieth-century (= 1901-2000).
