| Text | The word "story," in this podcast, means a floor or level in a building: "His office is on the top story of the office building, so he enjoys great views of the city." A "story" is also an entertaining description of something that happens, either fictional (invented; not true) or true: "This book is based on the true story of the author's life." Or, "Her parents always tell her a bedtime story before she falls asleep." A "news story" is one report, or one section of a TV news program or one article in a newspaper: "Did you watch the news story about the earthquake?" Finally, the phrase "It's a long story" is used when one does not want to share all the details that would be needed to answer someone's question: A: "Why did you and Gerald break up?" B: "It's a long story." |
