| One meaning, but not the only one. |
English is great because one word or group of words can have
more than one meaning. I think this is
great, but I know some of my students don't.
It would be much easier if English words or phrases had only one
meaning. Easier isn't always better.
Today's phrase is "recharge my batteries."
This could me put more energy into my rechargeable
batteries. However, it could mean to
rest, recover and generally feel better.
Paul worked overtime for six months until he decided to take
an island getaway vacation to recharge his batteries.
Needing to recharge her batteries, Veronica went to an
all-inclusive resort in Mexico
Work and life were boring for Maurice. His friends suggested taking a few weeks off
work to recharge his batteries.
