Episode Title | Feeling Disillusioned |
Phrase | to picture |
Text | In this podcast, the verb "to picture" means to imagine how something is or appears: "She pictured a career as a fashion model to be very glamorous, but she soon found out that it's a lot of work." Or, "That paint color isn't quite how I pictured it. Let's try a different color instead." Something that is "picture-perfect" is exactly right, correct, or appropriate: "Melissa wants everything to be picture-perfect on her wedding day." Or, "Having a dinner with all of my family around me is the picture-perfect gift." Finally, a "picture window" is a very large window made of just one piece of glass: "They're replacing all the small, old windows in their home with beautiful picture windows." |
