اسم B2 event
1

pause or break in something

A time when something that is happening stops for a short period, often in a way that causes a problem.

الگوی کاربرد: an interruption to [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "interruption" with "interval" or "break". An "interval" or "break" is usually planned or neutral (for example, a coffee break), while an "interruption" is usually unplanned or unwanted. Learners also sometimes use the wrong preposition: say "an interruption to the service" or "an interruption in the service", not "an interruption on the service".
هم‌معنی‌ها
break (More general and neutral; not always negative or unwanted.) | disruption (Stronger and more negative; suggests serious problems or disorder.) | pause (Often shorter and more neutral, can be planned or welcome.)
متضادها
continuation (Emphasizes that something goes on without stopping.) | flow (Suggests smooth, ongoing movement or progress without breaks.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
brief interruption |sudden interruption |without interruption |cause an interruption |after an interruption |an interruption to [service/work]

اسم B2 action

cutting in while someone speaks

When you make someone stop talking or doing something for a moment by speaking or acting.

الگوی کاربرد: an interruption while [someone] is speaking
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use the verb "disturb" instead of the noun "interruption" (e.g. *"Sorry for the disturb"*). The correct phrase is "Sorry for the interruption" or "Sorry for disturbing you." Also, avoid saying *"I did an interruption"*; say "I interrupted him" (verb) or "There was an interruption" (noun).
هم‌معنی‌ها
interference (Suggests unwanted involvement that disturbs what someone is doing.) | intrusion (Highlights entering someone else's space or activity without welcome.)
متضادها
uninterrupted speech (Emphasizes that the speaker can continue without being stopped.)

اسم B2 entity

thing or person causing disruption

A person or thing that makes something stop or break for a short time.

الگوی کاربرد: [someone/something] is an interruption to [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes only think of "interruption" as an event, not as the thing or person causing it. In sentences like "The phone is a constant interruption," "interruption" refers to the phone as a source of disturbance, not just the pause itself.
هم‌معنی‌ها
disturbance (General word for something that bothers or stops normal activity.) | distraction (Focuses more on pulling attention away rather than physically stopping something.)
متضادها
relief (In contexts like "a welcome interruption", the opposite would be something that eases stress instead of adding disturbance.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
a constant interruption |an unwelcome interruption |a minor interruption |a welcome interruption |a pleasant interruption |a brief interruption to [routine]

اسم technical B2 event

temporary stop of service or system

A short time when a service or system, like electricity or the internet, does not work.

الگوی کاربرد: an interruption of [service/supply]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use only "problem" or "error" instead of "interruption" in technical contexts. For services and systems, phrases like "service interruption" or "interruption of service" are more natural and widely used in notices and formal messages.
هم‌معنی‌ها
outage (Common in technical and utility contexts, especially for power and internet.) | downtime (Used mainly in IT and business for periods when a system is not operating.)
متضادها
uptime (Technical term for the time a system or service is working normally.)
