CEFR C1

draught

Translation

すきま風 / ドラフトビール / 喫水 / 一飲み

Meaning

In British English, a draught is a current of air that comes into a room, often cold and unwanted. American English usually spells this sense draft. The learner trap is confusing draught with drought, a long period without rain.

Examples

  • ドアの下から冷たいすきま風が入ってきました。
    A cold draught came under the door.
  • この窓の近くはすきま風が入ります。
    There is a draught near this window.
