عبارت انگلیسی
well
معنی و توضیح
The word “well,” in this podcast, means a very deep hole in the ground that was created to find water, so that a bucket or pump can be used to bring water to the surface: “Homes that aren’t connected to the town’s water system need to have a well on the property.” A “well” can also be an oil well: “The company is drilling wells all over northern Texas, searching for oil.” The phrase “to do well by (someone)” means to treat someone nicely or to be kind or generous to someone: “Blake always does well by his co-workers, so they respect him.” Finally, the phrase “might as well” is used to show agreement or willingness to do something, but without enthusiasm: “We might as well try to implement her proposal, but I don’t think it will work.”

Yulia: That’s a standing pool of water. There could be all kinds of microorganisms living in there.
Jack: Fine, but somebody should have brought more water for this long walk.
Yulia: I know. It’s my fault. Hey, there’s a cabin. Maybe there’s somebody there who can give us some water. Do you see a well?
Jack: No, no well, and I don’t see an outdoor faucet
