to continue for too long and become boring
長く続きすぎて退屈になる (nagaku tsuzukisugite taikutsu ni naru)
"The meeting dragged on for hours."
"会議は何時間も続いた。" (kaigi wa nanjikan mo tsuzuita)
until the very last moment; close to the deadline
to wish someone good luck in a performance
to focus closely on something
to identify or recognize something with precision
to support someone or something strongly
the complete truth without leaving anything out
