Hello! It's good to see you're still in one piece. Unfortunately, that may not be the case much longer!

Today's Lesson
BREAK   骨折する

Explanation

  • If you break your arm, leg, or other part of your body, a bone there is violently divided into two or more parts, usually as a result of being hit by something hard.
  • break は、普通、固いものにぶつかったことが原因で、体(腕、脚、その他)の骨が2つ以上に割れる――つまり、骨折する、という意味です。

examples

  1. I'm too scared to go skiing. With my luck I'd probably break my leg.
  2. (after a bad fall while skiing)a: Are you alright?
    b: No. I think my arm's broken.
  3. (a doctor in the emergency room)
    Today I've treated seven scrapes, three badly sprained joints, some bruised ribs, and a couple of broken fingers. All in a good day's work!
