to secure one's services: assicurarsi i servizi di qualcuno
We were lucky to secure the photographer's services on such short notice. We managed to procure his services at the last minute. Siamo stati fortunati ad assicurarci i servizi del fotografo con così poco preavviso. Siamo riusciti a procurarci i suoi servizi all'ultimo minuto.
Esempi
- "Susie : Regarding the budget for the shoot: the most expensive aspect of this project will be securing Ms. Bümbüm's services, she's charging a minimum of 50,000 dollars per appearance these days."
- "Surely you want to secure her services over two years rather than just 6 months?"
Esercizio 1
According to Susie, the most expensive aspect of this project will be:
According to Susie, the most expensive aspect of this project will be:
Although "secure" has the connotation of "safety" or "comfort", in this case Susie is not referring to making Ms. Bümbüm comfortable.
In this case "service" is being used to refer to the employment of Ms. Bümbüm, and not a "task" or a "favor" to be performed by Ivana.
Although "secure" has the connotation of "safety", in this case Susie is not referring to making Ms. Bümbüm feel safe.
This is the correct choice. To "secure someone's services" is an idiom which means to sign them to a contract, or to obtain a promise that they will work with you.
Esercizio 2
Susie says that Delavigne is "prepared to do whatever it takes to sign Miss Bümbüm". What does this mean?
Susie says that Delavigne is "prepared to do whatever it takes to sign Miss Bümbüm". What does this mean?
This is incorrect. The expression "to be prepared to do whatever it takes" does not imply that someone is insisting on an existing offer; on the contrary, it implies that they are willing to change their offer if necessary.
This is correct. "To do whatever it takes" is a common idiom that means to do everything, and anything, necessary to achieve a result. Example: I'm prepared to WHATEVER IT TAKES to make this business succeed - even If that means putting a cat in a microwave.
This is incorrect. Susie's use of this phrase does not suggest that Delavigne wants to remove Steve McDoody from the negotiation and talk to Ivana Bümbüm directly.
