Question

ESLPod_1281_WE_2230 Going to the Playground The word "bench," in this podcast, means a long, flat seat that can accommodate three or four people, usually placed outside at bus stations or parks: "On nice days, office workers walk to the park and eat their lunch while sitting on benches near the fountain." A "workbench" is a long, heavy, plain table used for projects, especially for building something: "The workbench was covered with hammers, nails, screwdrivers, and small pieces of wood." In sports, the bench is where athletes sit while they are watching their teammates play the game: "Janelle is injured, so she spent most of the basketball game sitting on the bench." Finally, the phrase "to bench (someone)" means to not allow an athlete to play one or more games: "If coach finds out what you did, he'll bench you as a punishment."
