Just two more days and it will be here -- 2001! It's hard to believe, isn't it? Do you still have a lot of things to do before you can sit back and enjoy the celebrations? Well, then today's WordMaster is for you.

READY　　　用意をする、準備をする



To be ready is to have everything prepared for some purpose.

ready は、何かのためにすべてを整えること、つまり準備すること、用意することです。


1. The house is clean, the food is made, the decorations are up -- everything's ready for the
   holiday.

2. Aren't you ready yet? We're going to be late.

3. (a mother calling to her children playing outside)
   Dinner's ready!

4. It takes me about 30 minutes to get ready to go to work in the morning.
We're excited about seeing you again tomorrow!
