☆  reassess  再評価する

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

The other useful phrase this week is, “You might want to reassess the situation.” When you reassess something, you think about it and decide whether you need to change your opinion about it. This could mean that you change your opinion from positive to negative or from negative to positive, regarding the situation.

So, “You might want to reassess the situation.” could have a positive or a negative nuance. A funny example for me, is that my oldest son and I are trying to run all of the “parkrun” (weekly free 5km running races) locations in our state, South Australia. When we decided this goal, I thought there were 7 locations, quite close to our home. However, we now know that there are 11 locations, and one of those is in a country town called Renmark, which is a 300km drive from our house! That’s a long way to drive to run 5km… we might need to reassess our goal!!

Bye,
