عبارت انگلیسی
dress
معنی و توضیح
The word “dress,” in this podcast, means a certain style of clothing: “Our store has detailed rules regarding an employee’s dress while working.” When talking about items of clothing, a “dress” is a single piece worn by a woman, like a shirt and a skirt that are connected: “The little girl liked wearing pants, but her mother insisted on putting her in a dress to go to church.” The phrase “to dress down” means to wear clothes that are less formal than the ones one normally wears: “Each Friday, the office employees are allowed to dress down to come to work.” Finally, when talking about the theater, a “dress rehearsal” is the last practice before the show is performed in front of an audience. “During the dress rehearsal, the actors will be wearing all of their costumes and using all the props and lighting effects.”
