练习 1
Philip is concerned about the Delavigne Corporation's bottom line.
He is concerned about the company's:
He is concerned about the company's:
Philip is concerned about the Delavigne Corporation's bottom line.
He is concerned about the company's:
He is concerned about the company's:
This is not the best choice. Philip's concern for the Delavigne Corp is not "under-spending" which means spending less than is necessary, or less than is needed.
This is the best choice. Bruno summarizes Philip's argument by saying, "Philip, you're concerned about our bottom line". A corporation's "bottom line" is their "net income or loss". This is the indicator of whether or not a company is profitable, and it is Philip's main concern.
This is not the best choice. Philip is not at all concerned about Delavigne's "use of unethical labor". Philip's main concern is Delavigne's "bottom line" and "profits". If the Delavigne Corp were to use unethical labor in order to increase profits, it is fair to say that Philip would not be concerned.
This is not the best choice. There is no mention in the dialogue of "bottom feeding practices" which is an expression meaning to take advantage of the misfortune of other people or companies. In business terms, "a bottom feeder" is an opportunist who takes advantage of weaker people, companies etc.
