练习 1
'I don't know how many more sleepless nights I can bear'.

Choose the statement(s) below which use the verb 'to bear' correctly.

There may be more than one correct answer!
'I don't know how many more sleepless nights I can bear'.

Choose the statement(s) below which use the verb 'to bear' correctly.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is incorrect. The sentence should read 'I support Madchester Football Club...'. To 'support' in this context is to 'follow' or 'be a fan of'. Although in another context, 'to bear' shares a similar meaning with 'to support' (in the sense of 'tolerating' something), the term cannot replace 'to support' in the sense of 'encouraging' or 'being a fan'.
This is correct. In this context, the verb 'to bear' means 'to tolerate'. 'I can't bear it' is a common idiom which expresses that something is 'intolerable' or 'unacceptable'. Example: 'I can't bear to see you cry'. 'To bear' is used the same way in this sentence as it is in Icarus' email. When Icarus writes 'I don't know how many more sleepless nights I can bear', he is expressing that he can no longer tolerate being unable to sleep (the legal situation has been troubling Icarus).
This is an incorrect use of the term 'to bear'. As a verb, 'to bear' means either 'to carry' or 'to tolerate'. A correct way to express the idea of 'standing' or 'remaining erect' would be to say: 'You can hardly stay (or stand) on your feet'.
This is correct. 'To bear (something) in mind' is an expression similar in meaning to the verb 'to remember', however it also expresses the sense of 'remaining aware (of something)'. Example: 'In the future, please bear in mind the time difference when you call me from Japan'. Note that this is a different use of the term than in the email.
This is correct. In this context, 'to bear' shares a similar meaning with 'to carry' or 'to hold'. Example: 'The U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms'. This is a different use of the term than in Icarus' email.
练习 2
" As I'm sure you are aware, Bob has been with you for 5 years and oversees the IT department."

This sentence could be rewritten:

", Bob has been with you for 5 years and the IT department."
" As I'm sure you are aware, Bob has been with you for 5 years and oversees the IT department."

This sentence could be rewritten:

"As you probably know 1, Bob has been with you for 5 years and supervises 2 the IT department."
1 As you probably know: This is correct. To be "aware" means to "have knowledge" or "be informed". For example: I am aware that eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day is good for my health. "As I'm sure you are aware" is a common phrase that means "as you probably know" or "as you have probably been informed". Fred Fuchar uses this phrase because he assumes, as Bruno is a good boss, that he probably knows that Bob performs an important role in the Delavigne IT department.
1 As you'll be surprised to learn: This is incorrect. The phrase "as you'll be surprised to learn" suggests that the details of Bob's involvement at Delavigne are unknown to Bruno. It is probably not a good idea to presume that a CEO doesn't know about his company! Moreover, the phrase "as you'll be surprised to learn" has the opposite meaning to "as I'm sure you are aware".
1 As you've probably forgotten: This is incorrect. The terms "forgotten" and "aware" are unrelated. If something is forgotten, it is no longer remembered.
1 As I was pleased to discover: This is incorrect. The phrase "as I was pleased to discover" suggests that the details of Bob's involvement at Delavigne were unknown to Fred Fuchar. This would not only be unprofessional, but has a different meaning to "as I'm sure you are aware"!
2 supervises: This is correct. In this context, to "oversee" means to "direct", "supervise" or "watch over". For example: As factory manager, Mr Smith oversees production at the factory. According to the information in Fred Fuchar's email, we can assume that Bob Carter is more or less in charge of the Delavigne IT department.
2 supports: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "support" are not synonyms. In a business context, "to support" means to assist or to aid. For example: When the Delavigne finance department is busy, Brian Jones sometimes provides administrative support.
2 collaborates with: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "collaborate" are not synonyms. "To collaborate" means to work together. For example: James and his brother collaborated on a book about giraffes. "To collaborate" does not contain the idea of leading or directing.
2 evaluates: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "evaluate" are not synonyms. "To evaluate" means to examine and judge carefully. For example: Luna is currently evaluating candidates' CVs for an accounting vacancy at Delavigne.
练习 3
"We keep track of our resellers"

Which term could replace "keep track of" here?
"We keep track of our resellers"

Which term could replace "keep track of" here?
This is incorrect. In English, "to control" means "to direct", "to dominate" or "to influence". Example: The government controls the press - nobody can write anything bad about them. The idea of "to control" meaning "to check" or "to regulate" is not used in English.
This is incorrect. "To support" means to provide help or assistance (often through a difficult time). It also means to maintain. Example: I support a husband and three children. The terms "to support" and "to keep track of" are not synonyms.
This is correct. "To keep track of" means to "monitor", "stay informed" or "watch carefully". Example: I keep track of world events by reading the newspaper. By saying, "We keep track of our resellers", Bruno means that Delavigne monitors, or closely follows the companies that sell its perfumes on the internet.
