I Learned a New Word "Boardwalk" (15)

I learned the new word "boardwalk" and I'd like to use it.

There's a nice park that has a big pond near my house, and there's a boardwalk on the pond.

I like to walk on it.

However, sometimes I think what if I drop my phone in the water.

I've actually once dropped my camera in the ocean about 10 years ago.

At that time, I had to give up the camera.

Since then every time I walk on the boardwalk in the pond or reiver, I remember that.

新し言葉「木道」と言う言葉を習ったので使ってみたいです。

私の家の近くに大きな沼がある公園があります。そして沼の上に木道があります。

私は、その木道を歩くのが好きです。

でも時々、もし携帯を落としたらどうしようって、考えます。

なぜかと言うと10年位前、一度カメラを海の中におとしたことがあるからです。

その時は、カメラをあきらめるしかなかった。

それ以来、川や沼の木道を歩くときいつもそのことを思い出します。

There's a nice park that has a big pond near my house, and there's a boardwalk onver the pond.

However, sometimes I think "what if I drop my phone in the water."

I've actually ~~once~~ dropped my camera in the ocean about 10 years ago.

At that time, I had to give up on the camera.

"give up on" is an expression for accepting that something is lost

Examples:

I gave up on being able to become an astronaut

I dropped my wedding ring into the volcano, and gave up on ever getting it back.

Since then every time I walk on the boardwalk in the pond or reiver, I remember that.

There are actually two uses of "boardwalk" and I'd say this is the less common one. I actually didn't know this specific meaning of the word, so thank you for teaching me :)

Your "boardwalk" is the one you can see in the gallery section of this wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardwalk which is a path made of boards used for walking over water.

More commonly in the US, "boardwalk" will mean a section of waterfront in a city which is full of entertainment and tourist attractions. For example, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk in California even has a roller coaster on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardwalk_(entertainment_district)

For more boardwalk fun, check out the famous 1964 love song called "Under the boardwalk" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNbmmclS3Uo

Thank you so much for your correction! And thank you for explaining and sharing the information. In the picture, the boardwalk is a different one from one I wanted to say. I wanted to say something like narrow road/path that is made of wood. Sometimes, you can see it over a pond or lake or damp areas. But at least, I learned the boardwalk you showed me. Thank you!
