昨日は東京でも結構揺れが強かったですね。それにしても地震そのものより津波の方が何倍も恐ろしいのが良く分かりました。
さて、Death of a Salesmanの会話にあった基本的な単語ですが、意味が分かりません。
WILLY: Yes, yes! Linda, Linda!
(LINDA enters as of old, with the wash.)
LINDA: Oh, you're back?
答えを知ってしまえば、ナーンダ、と言う簡単な単語ですが、"wash" は動詞しか頭に浮かばず、上記の "the wash" の意味がピンと来ません。 辞書を見ました。
・American Heritage Dictionary: A quantity of articles washed or intended for washing: The wash is on the back porch.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: all the clothes, sheets, etc. that are washed together, especially in a washing machine; Can I put this shirt in (with) the white wash?
"Where's my pink shirt?" "It's in the wash" (= being washed or in a pile of clothes that is going to be washed).
