☆ devote　専念させる

============================

Today’s word can be used to describe how much you love someone,
for example, “I’m devoted to you” or “he’s really devoted to her.” However,
it can also be used to talk about when you give almost all your time and
energy to something, such as a hobby or job.

Here are some example sentences:

He decided to devote the rest of his life to finding a cure for cancer.
She gave up her job to devote herself to her art.
The company devoted considerable resources to the new project.

Can you make a sentence?

Bye,
Chris

今日の言葉は、誰かを愛してやまない、という時に使える表現です。
例えば
“I’m devoted to you. ”
(あなたを熱烈に愛しています)
や、
“He’s really devoted to her. ”
(彼は彼女にのめりこんでいるね)などと言います。
しかし、例えば趣味や仕事など、ほとんどの時間とエネルギーをつぎ込み、専念するもものごとに対して使うこともあります。

例文：

He decided to devote the rest of his life to finding a cure for cancer.
(彼は残りの人生を全て癌治療の研究にささげることを決めた)

She gave up her job to devote herself to her art.
(彼女はアートに専念するために仕事を辞めた)

The company devoted considerable resources to the new project.
(その企業は、新しいプロジェクトに多くの資源を充てた)

それでは！
