Hi! When you imagine someone working hard, what do you see? How are they dressed? Maybe today's WordMaster@Work is part of the picture?
ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES 腕まくりをする
- To roll up your sleeves means to get ready to work hard.
- roll up your sleeves は、本気で仕事に取り組む心構えをする、という意味です。
- (manager to his staff)
As you know, we didn't make our sales quota last month. So I want all of you to roll up your sleeves and make an extra effort this month! - We've only got one more day before the deadline. It's time to roll up our sleeves and finish this thing!
- We don't need a leader who just talks about what he'll do for the company. We need someone who'll roll up his sleeves and really get things done.
That was a job well done!
