If you haven't yet caught the sports fever, be careful, because it's definitely going around. And once you've got it, it's a tough bug to shake!
FINAL / SEMI-FINAL / PRELIMINARY 決勝／準決勝／予選
- The final is the last stage in a competition, in which the strongest athletes or teams compete for first place.
The semi-finals are the next to last stage in a competition, in which athletes or teams compete for a chance to be in the final.
The preliminaries are the earliest stage in a competition. They are often held before, and separate from, the main competition to remove weaker athletes and teams. - final は、上位の選手やチームが優勝をかけて戦う最後の試合、つまり、決勝戦のことです。
semi-finals は、上位の選手やチームが決勝進出をかけて戦う試合、つまり、準決勝のことです。
preliminary は、競技会の最初の段階で、弱い選手やチームをふるいにかけるためにメインの試合の前に行われる試合、つまり、予選のことです。
- When is the men's 100-meter final going to be held?
- Tickets for the finals of the most popular events can cost hundreds of dollars.
- Any of the four teams competing in the semi-finals could win the first-place trophy.
- When I was in England, I was able to see a women's semi-final match at Wimbledon, live in Center Court.
- Sometimes only a few spectators come to watch the preliminaries.
- My daughter had practiced so hard, but she wasn't even able to make it past her preliminary. She was very disappointed.
Take care of yourself!
