☆ exact　　的確な

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

We use “exact” when we want to say that something is correct
in every detail. Here are some examples:

I don’t remember his exact words.
The exact number of people in the protest is not known.
This is an exact copy of my passport.

You can also describe a person as “exact” and it means that
they are very careful and detailed in their work. In other
words, they are “meticulous”.

詳細にわたって正しいことを“exact(=的確な)”と言います。
例：

I don’t remember his exact words.
(彼の正確な言葉は覚えていない)

The exact number of people in the protest is not known.
(抗議に来ている人の正確な数は不明だ)

This is an exact copy of my passport.
(これは私のパスポートの正確なコピーです)

また、人を指して“exact”と表現することもあります。
これは、仕事で、細かく注意深い人のことです。
つまりは“meticulous(=細部まで行き届き、極めて注意深い)”ということですね。

それでは！
