STEER 進行方向を定める
- To steer a car is to control the direction in which it moves.
Be careful:
Be Careful! We use a “steering wheel” to steer a car. “Handle”(ハンドル)is Japanese-English. - steer は、車などの進行方向をコントロールする、という意味です。 注意:
進行方向をコントロールするために使うのが、steering wheel です。日本語ではハンドルと呼んでいまが、これは和製英語です。
- It's very difficult to steer on these icy roads.
- DRIVER: Can you take the wheel (= steering wheel) and steer while I take off my sweater? I'm hot!
PASSENGER: Are you kidding? That's dangerous! Pull over to the side of the road before you start taking that off. - (a driver who's just been stopped by the police)
DRIVER: What makes you think I've been drinking officer?
POLICEMAN: Because you can't even steer straight!
May the road always be sunny and straight as far as the eye can see!
