Welcome back!
Tomorrow is Halloween, and there was never any doubt about what this week's theme would be! Although we always encourage you to look at the Web version (with illustrations!) for each WordMaster edition, that's especially true this week. A good picture can make the meaning of a word so much clearer than just a written explanation. And it's also a lot more fun!
COSTUME / MASK 衣装/仮面
- A costume is a set of clothes you wear on Halloween, in a play or movie, etc. in order to look like something or someone else.
A mask, such as worn on Halloween, is something you wear over your face in order to hide it or make it appear frightening, funny, etc. - costume とは、何らかのものや別の人らしく見えるようにするために、ハロウィーンや、お芝居、映画などで着る一揃いの衣装、という意味です。
mask は、ハロウィーンの時などに、顔の上からかぶって顔を隠したり、恐ろしく見せたり、おかしく見せたりするもの、つまり、仮面のことです。
Special Bonus Idea: How about going to your next Halloween party dressed as the WordMaster?
