Question

ESLPod_0507_WE_0688 Guarding One's Privacy The word "drawn," in this podcast, is used to talk about curtains or drapes that are closed: "On hot summer days, they keep the curtains drawn so that their house doesn't get too warm." When talking about a person's appearance, someone who is "drawn" has a light-colored thin face, possibly because he or she is sick, worried, or very tired: "Quinton looked drawn after spending all night in the hospital with his sick wife." Something that is "drawn-out" is taking too long, or taking more time than one had hoped: "That movie was too drawn-out! It was more than three hours long, but they could easily have told the same story in just 90 minutes." Finally, the word "drawn" is the past participle of the verb "to draw": "Everyone admired the pretty pictures that the children had drawn."
