Phrase | mission |
Text | The word "mission," in this podcast, means a task that one is told to accomplish, or the purpose of one's actions or activities: "The soldiers are on a mission to protect civilians during the bombing campaign." A "mission" is also what an organization is trying to do, or why an organization exists: "The mission of our company is to make money while helping people." When talking about religion, a "mission trip" is when a "missionary" goes to another place to talk about that religion and try to get others to believe in the same thing: "The students studying theology go on a mission trip during the summer between their third and fourth year of schooling." Finally, the phrase "mission accomplished" is used when one has finished something: "The garage is finally organized! Mission accomplished." |
