☆  reaction  反応

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

Your reaction to something is what you say, feel, or do because of that thing. It is your response to the thing that happened. For example, this week’s useful phrase is “What was her reaction?” This question could be used when someone has told someone some big news and you want to know what happened. In the example below, “X” could be something like a new job, new girlfriend, getting married, moving to another city, etc.

You: What was her reaction (when you told her about X)?
B: Actually, she handled it pretty well. (She didn’t get angry or upset.)
or
B: Badly! She was really angry about it.
or
B: Great! She gave me her full support.

Bye,

Chris
