Put Down Roots：安顿下来
Welcome to English in a Minute from home.
Roots are the underground parts of a plant that take in soil nutrients.
So, are Anna and Jonathan doing some gardening?
Jonathan, guess what? What?
I bought a house! scary.
Are you serious? You are finally putting down roots?
Roots! You make it sound so permanent. Thanks, Jonathan.
To "put down roots" means to make a place your home with no plans of moving away.
We say this a lot when someone buys a new home.
But putting down roots can also mean connecting with people and places in a community.
And that's English in a Minute.
