Phrase | rounds |
Text | The word "rounds," in this podcast, means a doctor's practice of visiting each of his or her patients in a particular order: "The doctor is on his rounds right now, but I'll have him give you a call once he's finished." A "round" can be a group of related events that is part of a larger series of events: "The second round of the debate will begin at 7:00 tomorrow evening." A "round of applause" is the period of time when a group of people are clapping to show their appreciation for something: "It took the President a long time to finish his speech, because he had to stop talking for each round of applause." Finally, the phrase "to make the rounds" means for something to be shared among many people: "An interesting magazine article is making the rounds through the office as co-workers share it with each other." |
