Welcome to the Friday WordMaster, where it's time to say farewell to our good friend Murphy!
FAULT 責任
If an
error
, problem, etc., is your
fault
- or if you are
at fault
- you caused it or are
responsible for
it.
過失や問題などについて、your
fault
または you are
at fault
と言うと、その人がそれを引き起こした、またはそれに対して責任がある、という意味になります。
It's all my
fault
. I should have been more careful.
It's your own
fault
that you haven't
advanced
more quickly. You've never shown any real
commitment
to the company.
It's not my
fault
. I was only doing what my
supervisor
told me to do.
I think the hotel is
at fault
for not providing better security for its guests.
Enjoy your time off this weekend. You've surely earned it!
