peer agreement (net): +5assister au départ des excursions Explanation: It means to be present at the time the people go off on their excursions (from which point on, they will have another accompanier) — "Bye for now, have a lovely visit, see you this evening!", rather than just looking up from your newspaper and saying "The coach ought to be over there somewhere..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 minutes (2017-03-25 10:10:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think the sense of 'to see off' here is probably best expressed as 'to be present when they leave' — we don't know to what extent they are 'accomanied' to that point; they will probably in fact make their own way to the front of the hotel, say; it's just the courtesy thing of actually being there when they leave (and of course also when they return!) — which is the bit that often gets overlooked. |
