| Text | The word "bend," in this podcast, means a curve in the road, or a part of the road that lets one change direction by turning slowly without stopping first: "Don't cross the road at a bend! The cars might not see you there." A "bend" can also describe a wide turn in a river: "They built a vacation home next to a beautiful river bend." The phrase "to bend over" means to move one's upper body at the waist so that one is closer to the floor: "He bent over to pick up the clothes on the floor." Finally, the phrase "to bend the truth" means to not tell the whole truth: "Are you really only 29 years old, or are you bending the truth?" |
