goal (A1)

カタカナ: ゴール

IPA: /ɡoʊl/

Definition

An aim or desired result that you work towards. 'My goal is to pass the TOEIC exam.' 'Goal' also refers to the physical structure in sports (the net or posts that players aim at) and the act of scoring in that structure ('She scored a goal'). The Japanese 'gooru' (ゴール) is used in sports but also in business and personal planning. 'Goal' and 'aim' are close synonyms — 'goal' is slightly more specific and concrete.

意味: 取り組む目的または望む結果。'My goal is to pass the TOEIC exam.'（私の目標はTOEIC試験に合格することだ）。'goal'はスポーツで目指す物理的な構造（ゴールポスト・ネット）とその中に得点する行為も指します（'She scored a goal'）。日本語の「ゴール」はスポーツだけでなくビジネスや個人計画にも使われます。'goal'と'aim'は近い同義語で、'goal'の方がやや具体的です。
