Welcome back! We send you warm midwinter greetings and hope that you're staying well in this cold and flu season. If there was ever a time to discuss things that chill, a week in January is certainly it. And, while we're at it, we'll also suggest a few ways to keep the chill off, at least while you're indoors!
DRAFT すきま風
- A draft is a cool, unwanted current of air coming into a room or other closed space.
A room is drafty if there is a draft in it. - draft は、部屋などの閉所に入ってくる冷たくて嫌な風、つまり、すきま風のことです。
すきま風が入る部屋のことは、drafty と言います。
- I feel a draft coming from under the door.
- There seems to be a draft in this room. Can you check to see if all the windows are shut?
- It's important to keep indoor plants away from drafts.
- It's a bit drafty in here. Do you have a sweater I can borrow?
- You're going to catch a cold sitting in this drafty room all day.
Stay warm!
