  We show that non-relativistic actions of string and D-branes on AdS_5 x S^5
can be reproduced as a semiclassical approximation of the string and D-brane
actions around static 1/2 BPS configurations. This is contrastive to the
Penrose limit. For example, the pp-wave string can be recaptured as a
semiclassical approximation around a 1/2 BPS particle rotating at the velocity
of light. We argue that small deformation of a straight Wilson line would give
a composite operator in the gauge-theory side that corresponds to a
semiclassical state of the non-relativistic string, according to the
semiclassical interpretation.
