عبارت انگلیسی
reality
معنی و توضیح
The word “reality,” in this podcast, refers to what really exists, not things that are imaginary or fake: “Jesse couldn’t accept the reality of his wife’s pregnancy until he saw her belly begin to grow.” The phrase “reality TV” refers to TV shows that show the lives and behaviors of ordinary people, not actors: “Are you watching that reality TV show where people switch places and live another person’s life for a week?” Finally, the phrase “a reality check” is an opportunity to consider what is really happening in a situation, rather than what one wants or hopes will happen: “I know you dream of marrying Serena, but it’s time for a reality check. She doesn’t want to date you!”

Rene: Why are you sitting here just staring into space?
Francis: I’m pondering life.
Rene: That sounds profound.
Francis: I’m examining my life from a metaphysical standpoint. I’m not sure I really exist. Maybe my entire life is an illusion and there’s no such thing as reality.
