ここから日本語で解説

１回目は以上です。

immediateは、意味としては「即」でしょうか。

しかし、同じ「即座に」を取っても「速さのおかげで即」というよりは「隣接してる＝即」という感じがありますね。

ただ、仮にimmediateの代わりにrapid等の単語を言っても変か？と言われればそうではなく（ないらしく？）、外人さんが言い直してくれることもあります。

immediately は、使いながら「without waitingでもいいな…」みたいに思い出せれば多分okなんじゃないでしょうか。

immediatelyの方が緊急性は高そうですけどね。

まあ、正味な話テストではアウトかもしれませんが、文末にimmediateと言ったところで通じるとは思いますがね。

また、immediateの
近い将来
問題における直接の原因
直属の上司

は、確かに「間に何もない」と言えますね。

英語を学ぶと視野が広まる！とはよく言いますが、直属の上司＝間に別の役職や部署の人間が欠けている、なんてのはいい例じゃないでしょうか。

immediate以外は素直で覚えやすくよさそうですねー。

うーん、最後に単語の意味をメモっといた方がいいんだろうか。

こうしよう。

最後にワードを羅列しとくので、英文と照らし合わせてクイズみたいにしよう。

訳

・即時の
・効率的に、有効に
・予算を立てる、予算として計上する
・直ちに
・効率的な
・直属の、直接の
・予算
・効率さ、効率性
・〜によると、従うと
