LEAVE (something) TO THE LAST 　　　　MINUTE   

　　　（何かを）ぎりぎりまでやらない

                   To leave something to the last minute is to wait as long as possible to do it, usually until

　　　　　　　　just before it has to be done.

                   leave something to the last minute は、何かをするのをできるだけ、通常、やらなければ

                   ならない直前まで、待つ、という意味です。

　　　　　　1. It’s absolutely vital that we finish the project on time, so please don’t leave it

               to the last minute.

　　　　　 2. She’s left a big year-end report to the last minute, and now she’s really stressing

               out about it.

　　　　　 3. A: Why do you always leave everything to the last minute, Jack?

　　   B: I don’t know. I think I need the added pressure to get motivated to start.

    4. I’m someone who tends to procrastinate, leaving even important jobs to the last   

        minute. And yet I never miss a deadline.

Thanks for coming!
