B1 Collocation 中性

essere in pieno svolgimento

to be in full swing

意思

To be at the peak of activity.

🌍

文化背景

The word 'svolgimento' is synonymous with the 'body' of an essay. Students are often told their 'svolgimento' needs more detail, which reinforces the idea of it being the 'active' part of a process. Journalists use this phrase to maintain a sense of urgency and professionalism. It is a 'cliché' of Italian news reporting, especially during live broadcasts. During local food festivals (sagre), this phrase is used to describe the peak hours (usually 9 PM - 11 PM) when the most food is served and the music is loudest. It is often used ironically by Italians to describe slow-moving public works that seem to be 'in progress' forever.

Journalistic Flair
