Simple Question But Difficult for Me :) Hi, I have few incomplete sentences so it is too hard to understand by myself. The sentences are... 1) Our Muse : WES ( The Show Off ) He has all the limited gear. He is driven by sport culture. 2) James is a force of disruption. Questions) 1-1) ' The show off ' means WES is our boast? 1-2) Can I translate ' limited gear ' as limited clothes? 1-3) Does ' He is driven by sport culture ' means he is strongly influenced by sport culture? What is the exact meaning of this sentence? 2-1) Um.. I found the meaning of ' force of disruption' and it says force of Disruption has a chance to interrupt your target's spells as they are being cast. But I still don't understand what it means. Could you explain it? Thank you so much. Your answer will be really helpful for me. :)

1) The only way I can think to interpret it is: WES = name of a person, or some other entity capable of possessing things limited gear = limited edition gear --> gear: clothing/equipment muse = inspiration show off = someone who "shows off", or boasts about his possessions (in this case, the "limited gear"?) ("boast" is a verb, not a noun. you can't call something your boast. as a noun, "boast" would refer to the act of boasting, not to the thing boasted about.) So it would mean something like "our inspiration is Wes, the show-off who owns all the limited edition gear". Second part would be: he = refers to Wes is driven by = made to act in a certain way by/motivated by/compelled by sport culture = the culture of sports, ideas/behaviours/customs related to sports. So this Wes is, yes, influenced by sports culture. It is very vague without context, so you can interpret it loosely to mean that Wes's behaviour is to a degree determined by the social behaviour of the "sports community". This social behaviour is a driving factor in whatever Wes is doing. So, things like his fashion/diet/entertainment choices could be sports-related: he could be working out because that's what sportspeople do, he could be wearing sports clothing, he could be subscribed to sports magazines. Which it is, you really can't know without more context. 2) Force of disruption = disruptive force. A force that disrupts. Basically, James is disruptive. He creates disturbance/problems. The 'force of disruption' that you found sounds like really specific usage in a gaming context, which I don't think is what you are looking for. Usually, "a force of <some noun here>" is used metaphorically, such as in "a force of nature", and I don't see "force of disruption" used often, but that would probably be the way to interpret it. I hope this helped a little, and I would be more than happy to explain anything further if needed :) Is there any context for these sentences?

Questions) 1-1) ' The show off ' means WES is our boast? I'm not sure what it means. It looks incorrect to me. 1-2) Can I translate ' limited gear ' as limited clothes? I'm sorry, I'm not sure about this one either. I thought "Limited" might be a brand name, but I am not sure. 1-3) Does ' He is driven by sport culture ' means he is strongly influenced by sport culture? What is the exact meaning of this sentence? This one should be "He is driven by sports culture" with an "s" in "sports". You are correct, that another way to say it would be "He is strongly influenced by sports culture". This means that he enjoys sports, spends a lot of time watching sports, and probably wears sports clothing. 2-1) Um.. I found the meaning of ' force of disruption' and it says force of Disruption has a chance to interrupt your target's spells as they are being cast. But I still don't understand what it means. Could you explain it? We often use the phrase "force of destruction". Are you sure you didn't hear or copy the sentence incorrectly? To say someone is a "force of destruction" usually means that they cause a lot of trouble by being careless. Sorry, I wasn't able to help too much, but I hope I helped a little. Where did these sentences come from?
