Welcome to the Thursday edition of Berlitz WordMaster@Work! There's just one more task that needs to be taken care of before we bring this week to a close ...

Today's Lesson
DUTIES   職務

Explanation

  • Your duties are the tasks that you are supposed to do as part of your job.

    Be Careful! We usually don't use the singular form (“duty”) to talk about a single task of this kind. Instead, we would use an expression such as “one of my duties.”
  • duties とは、自分の仕事の一部としてしなければならない任務、つまり、職務のことです。

    注意:1つの職務について言う場合でも、通常は単数形( duty )を使いません。代わりに one of my duties のような言い方をします。

    b: Well, it's not actually in my job description, but I don't mind doing it.
  4. Management duties take up most of my time these days, so I don't get out into the field as much as I'd like.
