Waterproof と water-resistant の違いは何ですか?


move over!-- どいて!

hit the market
商品化する、市場に出回る
It's a new version to hit the market next spring. :
これは来年の春、商品化するニューバージョンだ

seep in
浸透する、〔知識{ちしき}などが〕身に付く

Move over iphone, there are some cooler phones hitting the market. Have you seen the new cell phone that is equipped with a HD video camera? Or perhaps you have seen the cell phone that is partly solar powered. Another one that stands out in my mind is the water-resistant cell phone. Note it is water-resistant, not waterproof.

What is the difference between water resistant and waterproof? If something is water-resistant it can stop or repel water temporarily. It will prevent water from getting through but in heavy rains water will seep in.  If something is waterproof, it won't let water through. It is tougher.

So my advice is... don't wash a water-resistant cell phone! It is only water-resistant, not waterproof.
