练习 1
At the end of the dialogue Polly says to Archibald: "Let's hope so, for your sake". The phrase "for your sake" is a forceful statement which, in this case, indicates Polly's unhappiness. Which of the following phrases could replace this one in the text?
At the end of the dialogue Polly says to Archibald: "Let's hope so, for your sake". The phrase "for your sake" is a forceful statement which, in this case, indicates Polly's unhappiness. Which of the following phrases could replace this one in the text?
Do not confuse sake with Sake which is a delicious Japanese rice wine.
This is the correct choice. The expression "for your sake" is an implicit threat and is often used in tense situations such as this one. In this case Polly is emphasizing that it is in Archibald's best interests to resolve the problem of Delavigne's server as soon as possible.
Although Polly's statement is actually a threat, her words do not indicate that she or her company will take legal action against Archibald or Know-It-All Tech Solutions.
The expression "for your sake" does not express that Polly feels sorry for Archibald.
