Phrase | comment |
Text | The phrase "no comment," in this podcast, is used to show that one does not want to answer a question or talk about a topic and is often used when people don't want to answer questions from reporters (journalists): "When the police asked the man why he had stolen the money, he said, 'no comment.'" A "comment" is also something that one says or writes to show an opinion about something: "Do you have any comments on our report?" As a verb, "to comment" means to provide an opinion about something: "More than 150 people called to comment about what was said on the radio yesterday." Or, "At the art museum, the artist sadly commented that very few people understand his paintings." |
