trend scanner…トレンド調査A trend scanner will be someone who keeps track of what trends are developing and how they are developing. Scanner is kind of interesting verb.
It’s ambiguous it has two contradictory meanings depending on how you use it.
It can mean examine thoroughly; check something very carefully, but it can also mean look at something quickly or casually and that meanings seem to be the one that’s more common these days.
Maybe because of electronic scanners that work so quickly.
homeward…家に向かってHomeward means go towards home or head home. Some other words also use the “ward” ending.
You could say seaward for towards the sea, and actually could probably attached at
almost any word that your goals of travel or go would sounds funny if you could make a kind of joke if you say something like in the morning, “Well, I’m heading officeward.”
goofing off…ぶらぶらしてすごすIf you goof off, you fool around, you waste time. You’d do something rather idle or maybe even foolish.
Sometimes people use this just to say we did nothing in particular or we did nothing special. Say, “What did you do over the weekend?” “Ah, nothing really we’ve just goofed off at a house.”
frenetic…ひどいinvolving a lot of movement or activity; extremely active, excited or uncontrolled
She has a very frenetic lifestyle.
There was frenetic trading on the Stock Exchange yesterday.
After weeks of frenetic activity, the job was finally finished.
(Cambridge International Dictionary of English)
feet on a ground…地に足がつく There’s a phrase he’s got his feet on a ground or firmly on the ground which means people or that person is solid and reliable and realistic.
So that phrase kind of echoes around when you hear this sentence; “Their feet in the air is as much on the ground.”
old school…保守派someone who is conservative, traditional ,maybe a kind of preservationist
cf. the old school tie 同窓生贔屓、学閥
in tow…つれてIf you have someone in tow, you are leading or dragging them or bringing them with you.
上記“Their feet in the air is as much on the ground.”はこれで合っていますか？
