Phrase | beam |
Text | The word "beam," in this podcast, means a long piece of a building that reaches across the room from one wall to another along the ceiling: "Their living room had dark beams across the ceiling, so they painted them white to make the room seem lighter." A "beam" is also a ray or line of light: "We used the flashlight beam to find our way down the path at night." Or, "Beams of sunlight shone on the hillside." A "beam" is also a very happy smile: "The child opened the gift with a beam of joy." A "balance beam" is the long, thin piece of equipment used in gymnastics on which a person walks or does other exercises and tries not to fall off: "Do you know how to jump backwards and do turns on a balance beam?" |
