Our approach here at Berlitz WordMaster has always been “one word at a time”. Here's a word that complements that approach nicely!
PATIENT 我慢強い、辛抱強い
- Someone is patient if they are able to wait for long periods of time or able to accept unpleasant conditions without becoming angry or upset.
- patient とは、例えば、長い時間何かを待つことができる、あるいは、怒ったりいらいらしたりすることなく、不愉快な状況を受けいれられる、という意味です。
- She's a wonderful teacher - very patient and very kind.
- a: What was your father like?
b: He was a patient man. I don't remember him ever getting angry at me or my brothers. - (in a car on a long journey)
CHILD: How much longer, Mom?
MOTHER: Just be patient. We'll be there soon. - He's very patient with his employees - a real pleasure to work for.
- STUDENT: I feel like I'm not getting any better.
TEACHER: You need to be more patient. It takes years to learn how to play the violin well.
It's been a pleasure!
