练习 1
"Why don't we reconvene in my office?"
To "reconvene" a meeting is to:
To "reconvene" a meeting is to:
"Why don't we reconvene in my office?"
To "reconvene" a meeting is to:
To "reconvene" a meeting is to:
This is incorrect. Donna does not want to "cancel" or "annul" this meeting. She actually wants to restart the meeting immediately in a different location (her office).
This is incorrect. Donna is not suggesting that the group change the subject, but rather she wants to restart the meeting in different place (her office).
This is the correct answer. To "reconvene (a meeting)" originates from the verb "convene" which means to come together for a meeting. Therefore to "reconvene" means to come together for the meeting again (at a later time, or in a different place for example). In the conversation, Donna says "I think we need to continue this meeting in a neutral space where energy isn't quite as hostile." She means that she wants to hold this meeting in a place (her office) which is neutral, because she feels that Bruno's office is not a neutral environment.
Donna is not suggesting that this meeting be "rescheduled", or that she plans or programs another time and date for the meeting. Donna is actually suggesting that the meeting be held in her office rather than in Bruno's.

Let's take a look at some of the interesting terms used in Bruno's email!
"Due to an unfortunate oversight..." --> In this context, an oversight is .
"It's been roughly five and half months..." --> In this context, roughly means .
"All new employees... must undergo a physical examination" --> In this context, to undergo is .
"Due to an unfortunate oversight..." --> In this context, an oversight is .
"It's been roughly five and half months..." --> In this context, roughly means .
"All new employees... must undergo a physical examination" --> In this context, to undergo is .
Let's take a look at some of the interesting terms used in Bruno's email!
"Due to an unfortunate oversight..." --> In this context, an oversight is a mistake 1.
"It's been roughly five and half months..." --> In this context, roughly means approximately 2.
"All new employees... must undergo a physical examination" --> In this context, to undergo is go through 3.

1 a mistake: An "oversight" is a mistake or error, usually caused by inattention or negligence. Bruno writes that because of Polly's mistake, Brian and Donna weren't informed that they had to visit the doctor.
1 an accident: An "oversight" is not an accident, rather it is caused by inattention or negligence.
1 a vision problem: An "oversight" is unrelated to vision (literally, at least).
1 a poor decision: An "oversight" is a mistake or error, generally involuntary. It can't be considered a poor decision.
2 approximately: The adverb "roughly" has two meanings, but in this context is synonymous with "approximately". This use is very common in English. The literal meaning of "roughly" describes a brusque or violent action, (one which isn't gentle).
2 precisely: The term "roughly" describes something "imprecise" or "approximate", not "precise"!
2 under: The term "roughly" describes something "imprecise" or "approximate", but not necessarily "under" or "less than" a given number or quantity.
2 over: The term "roughly" describes something "imprecise" or "approximate", but not necessarily "over" or "more than" a given number or quantity.
3 go through: The verb "to undergo" is commonly associated with "procedures", "operations" and examinations. It expresses a passive sense of receiving an action (rather than the active sense of a verb like "to undertake"), and is synonymous with "have" or go through in this context. Here the term indicates that Brian and Donna must "have" physical examinations.
3 witness: "To witness" means to observe or see, however the term doesn't share a similar meaning with "to undergo", which in this context indicates participating in an action (a physical examination).
3 schedule: The verb "to undergo" is unrelated to "scheduling" or "programming" an event or action.
3 reschedule: The verb "to undergo" is unrelated to "scheduling" or "programming" an event or action.

"Are we still on for dinner and drinks?"
From the list below, select the sentence which could replace this one without changing its meaning.
From the list below, select the sentence which could replace this one without changing its meaning.
This is an incorrect choice. "To be on (for dinner)" does not refer to "rescheduling" or changing the day of a dinner date, but rather asks for confirmation of the original date.
This is a correct choice. The question "are we still on for (dinner)" asks for confirmation of a dinner which was scheduled previously. Other ways to express this same idea include "I wanted to know if our dinner date is still happening" and "I wanted to know if our dinner arrangement is still OK for you".
This is an incorrect choice. The sentence "Are we still on (for dinner)?" indicates that an arrangement has already been made for dinner. This expression can't be used to invite someone to dinner a first time.
