Room and board describes a situation where, in exchange for money, labor or other considerations, a person is provided with a place to live as well as meals on a comprehensive basis. In some countries this is translated literally as "room and food". "Board" may refer to the table on which food is served. It also occurs in hotel-style accommodation for short stays. With a room and board arrangement, the renter has a private bedroom and shares the rest of the house with the person renting out the room. This is different from renting where the renter has private living areas, including a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen Two commonly encountered boards are: * ''Half Board'', where the host provides only a breakfast and dinner meals. * ''Full Board'', where the host provides all three daily meals. Another option is: * ''Bed and breakfast'', literally, a place to sleep and where breakfast is provided. == In popular culture == A missive in the 1990s stated that the phrase "chairman of the board" referred to the one person allowed to sit at a chair while others sat on benches. However per Snopes.com this is largely apocryphal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「room and board」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
