reliable (B1)
カタカナ: リライアブル
IPA: /rɪˈlaɪəbəl/
Definition
Consistently doing what you say you will do, or working correctly every time. 'Reliable' describes both people and things. 'She is a reliable employee — she always meets her deadlines.' 'This is a reliable car — it has never broken down.' Japanese learners sometimes confuse 'reliable' with 'honest', but they are different: an honest person tells the truth; a reliable person follows through on commitments.
意味: 言ったことを一貫してやり遂げる、または毎回正しく機能する様子。人にも物にも使えます。'She is a reliable employee.'（彼女は信頼できる従業員だ）、'This is a reliable car.'（これは信頼できる車だ）。'reliable'と'honest'を混同しやすいですが、honest（正直）は真実を話すこと、reliable（信頼できる）は約束を果たすことです。
Examples / 例文
彼は時間通りに来る信頼できる人だ。 — He is a reliable person who always arrives on time.
この情報は信頼できる出所からのものだ。 — This information comes from a reliable source.
信頼できる公共交通機関は都市にとって重要だ。 — Reliable public transport is important for a city.
