ENGLISH IDIOMS: on duty

in persian •  7 years ago 

on duty

در حال انجام وظیفه

When the accident victims were brought to the hospital, there were only two doctors on duty and they had to attend to all the patients.

وقتی که قربانیان سانحه را به بیمارستان بردند، فقط دو پزشک کشیک بودند و آنها می‌بایست به همه‌ی بیماران رسیدگی کنند.

عبارت off duty متضاد آن است. do one’s duty یعنی «وظیفه‌ی خود را انجام دادن».

    I believe the origin in English comes from the word "due" meaning to owe something. Being "on duty" probably means paying what is owed, in this case the person owes his time/work for the specified purpose - hence, being "on duty".
