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。
