Today's Lesson
ACTIVE   活動的な

Explanation

  • If someone is active, they spend much time working or doing things that require energy, rather than resting or relaxing.

    An active life, day, etc. is one that is filled with activity, especially physical activity.
  • active とは、休んだり、くつろいだりするよりも、仕事やプライベートでも積極的に行動する、つまり、活動的な、という意味です。

    an active life, day などと使った場合は、特に、肉体的な活動をたくさんする生活や一日、という意味になります。
