career (B1)
カタカナ: キャリア
IPA: /kəˈrɪər/
Definition
A career is the series of jobs and professional experiences a person has over their working life, especially in one field. 'She has had a brilliant career in medicine.' Unlike a single 'job' (a specific position you hold now), a 'career' refers to the whole journey. 'Career' can also be used as an adjective: 'a career change', 'a career break', 'a career goal'. In modern English, 'portfolio career' refers to someone who works multiple part-time jobs or freelance roles instead of one full-time job — a growing trend.
意味: 'career'は一人の人が職業生活の中で経験する仕事や経歴の積み重ねを指します。特定の分野での長期的な道のりです。'She has had a brilliant career in medicine.'（彼女は医学分野で輝かしいキャリアを積んだ）。特定の「仕事（job）」とは異なり、'career'は全体の歩みを指します。'career change'（転職・方向転換）、'career break'（キャリアの一時休止）、'career goal'（キャリア目標）などの表現もよく使われます。
