The WordMaster is back, and he's ready to share a set of expressions that'll serve you well for years to come. That's a pretty good payoff for a mere 5- to 10-minute investment of your time, wouldn't you say?
JUST IN CASE 万一に備えて、念のため
- To do something just in case is to do it so that you're prepared if something else happens, especially when you think the chances that it'll happen are small.
- just in case とは、特に、発生する可能性は低いと考えているけれども、何かが起きたときのために準備しておく、つまり、万一に備えて、という意味です。
- We probably won't get any more rain today, but take an umbrella just in case.
- I didn't think she'd need more than $30 for the day, but I gave her $50 just in case.
- The package should arrive tomorrow, but here's the number to call just in case it doesn't.
Enjoy the day!
