练习 1
Polly writes that Delavigne's Director of personnel has tendered her resignation. Judging from the context of this email, what does this idiom express?
Polly writes that Delavigne's Director of personnel has tendered her resignation. Judging from the context of this email, what does this idiom express?
A "medical leave" is not the same thing as to "tender a resignation".
The idiom "to tender one's resignation" does not express that someone has been fired.
Although "tender" can mean soft, smooth or supple, it seems clear that this is not the reason that Delavigne's Director of Personnel has left the company.
This is correct. The idiom "to tender one's resignation" is very common in business environments. It expresses that someone is leaving the company by completing the proper forms. Note that someone who resigns usually does so of their own volition or free will, they have not been fired.

1 Letter of resignation: This phrase is very likely to be found in a letter of resignation, used to notify an employer that the writer is "resigning", "stepping down" or formally ending a period of employment with a company'.

Its purpose is to provide a potential employer with helpful information about a candidate being considered. For example: Bruno read several letters of recommendation before hiring Brian Jones.

This is incorrect. There is no indication that Karen Hughes has been "fired" (sacked, or terminated from her job). An employee who has been fired generally receives a letter from their employer.
This is incorrect. There is no indication that Karen Hughes plans on coming back to the Delavigne Corporation, which is implied when someone takes a "leave of absence". Reasons for taking a "leave of absence" might include maternity, paternity, health or personal issues.
This is correct. To "tender one's resignation" is a formal expression meaning to announce that one is "quitting" or "leaving" their job. Karen has written a letter of resignation, which provides written notice that she is "quitting" their job.
This is incorrect. Karen Hughes makes no mention of another job or company in her letter. She writes that she is quitting her job with Delavigne because she wants to spend more time with her family.

练习 5
Which of the following statements most accurately summarizes Polly's letter?
Which of the following statements most accurately summarizes Polly's letter?
Polly has not "fired" the director of personnel, but rather the director has "tendered her resignation". "To tender one's resignation" is to formally step down from a job or resign. Although someone can be asked to resign, there is no firing involved in the act.
Although it is true that Polly has offered Luna the position, it is "on the condition" that Luna has a successful interview. In this context, "pending" shares a similar meaning with "on the condition of or that". Polly requires an interview before giving Luna the job.
This statement is completely false. Polly is offering the position to Luna because the current director of personnel has left the company.
This is correct. Polly first explains that Delavigne's Director of Personnel has "tendered her resignation". Polly then writes that "the position is yours" which expresses that Luna has gotten the job, but only "pending" a successful interview.
