HOME>Word Master®>[business] HOURS [営業]時間
It's great to see you again! We're looking forward to another week with you here at Berlitz WordMaster. It's sure to be fun!
Now get ready for the Monday edition! |
An hour is, of course, 60 minutes. But we can use the word hours to mean a particular period of time. For example, many companies do business from 9 to 5, so their "business hours" are from 9 to 5.
hours という言葉は、60分に換算できる時間の単位ではなく、何かをする時間(期間)を表すことがあります。例えば、会社の営業時間のことをbusiness hours といいます。 1. | (a telephone recording) | | We are unavailable at this time. Please try us again during our regular business hours. | | | | 2. | The doctor's office hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with an hour break from noon. | | | | 3. | If you need to speak with the doctor after hours, call his pager at 332-2211. | | | | 4. | Tracy's had to work long hours to finish the project on schedule. These days she rarely leaves the office before 11 p.m. |
| Bye-bye! |
