50 -to close o to close down?-
Nota d'usoIl verbo to close, usato in riferimento a qualsiasi attività commerciale, significa chiudere temporaneamente (per poi riaprire): The supermarket closes at 8 p.m., il supermercato chiude alle 8 di sera. Quando invece si vuole indicare una cessata attività è necessario ricorrere al verbo frasale to close down: That shop closed down last week, quel negozio ha chiuso (per sempre) la settimana scorsa. -
51 -strict o close?-
Nota d'usoIl significato più comune dell'aggettivo strict è “severo, rigido”. Nell'accezione di “stretto” non esprime il concetto di vicinanza, pertanto: Siamo amici stretti non si traduce We are strict friends, ma si usa l'aggettivo close: We are close friends. -
