Asemizu wo Tarasu (汗水をたらす - Sweating Over One's Work)

Asemizu wo Tarasu

I have been working while doing 'asemizu wo tarasu' (汗水をたらす) lately.

'Ase' (汗) means "sweat," 'mizu' (水) means "water," and 'tarasu' (たらす) means "to drop (something)," so the literal meaning of 'asemizu wo tarasu' is "to drop sweat" or "sweat drops."

As you can guess, this idiom implies that you work so much that you sweat.

Of course, I am not actually sweating because it is cold.

In English, it can be expressed as "to sweat over one's work" or "to break one's back."

汗水をたらす

私は最近、汗水をたらして働いています。

「汗」は "sweat"、「水」は "water"、「たらす」は "drop" を意味するので、「汗水をたらす」の文字どおりの意味は "" となります。

汗がたれるほど、一生懸命働いているさまを表す慣用句となっています。

実際には寒いので、汗はたれていません。

英語では、"sweat over one's work" や "break one's back" などと言うようです。
