peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2家の中に閉じこもる Explanation: Eijiro has definition 【自動-2】 家に閉じこもる［引きこもる］. I don't know why the person is. For depression or for androphobia/gynephobia? In any event, it could be figurative. If so, then 自分の殻にひきこもる (put wall around him/her) would be more appropriate. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2006-11-09 15:56:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Gynophobia, not gynephobia -- typo. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 38 mins (2006-11-09 15:57:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In essence it means 人から離れている and/or 世間から遠ざかっている. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-11-09 18:19:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't think this expression is for beginers. To me it is pretty sophisticated expression, so I voted for PRO. |
