Phrase | trade |
Text | In this podcast, the word "trade" means import and export, or the sale and purchase of goods internationally: "The federal government signed a treaty to increase trade with Central Asia." A "trade" can also refer to a particular type of work, usually one involving working with one's hands: "James is hoping to become an electrician. Do you know anyone in the trade?" The "tourist trade" refers to all the business done to serve tourists or travelers: "The tourist trade is busiest during the warm summer months." Finally, the phrase "tricks of the trade" means clever ways to do something well, especially when few people are familiar with them: "Hitting a clove of garlic to peel it more easily is just one of the tricks of the trade in the kitchen." |
