2007.07.05(Review of 2003.07.02 edition)
It's good to see you again! How's the weather in your part of the world? If it happens to be sunny, then today's edition might be a good way to take advantage of the break in the weather!
HANG OUT TO DRY 外に干す
- To hang wet clothes, towels, bed sheets, etc. out to dry is to put them outside on hangers, a horizontal (= parallel to the ground) pole or rope, etc. so that the sun and air can make them dry.
- hang out to dry は、ぬれた服、タオル、シーツなどが、日光と風で乾くように、ハンガーや物干し竿、洗濯ひもなどに掛けて屋外に干す、という意味です。
- Don't put those clothes in the dryer. Just hang them out to dry.
- If you hang that shirt out in the sun to dry, the colors will fade. You'd better put it in the shade.
- We've had so much rain lately that I haven't been able to hang anything out to dry for days.
It's been fun!
