معنی و توضیح
The word “article,” in this podcast, means one section in a contract: “Please turn to Article Two, which discusses when payments will be made.” An “article” is also one story or one piece of writing in a newspaper or magazine: “Did you read the article about the whales that swam into the Sacramento River?” Or, “This magazine pays writers $75 for each published article.” The word “article” can also refer to one piece of something in a set: “How many articles of clothing are you bringing for our weekend trip?” Or, “Make sure that you don’t forget your toothbrush when you pack your bathroom articles.” Finally, when we discuss English grammar, the words “a” and “an” are “indefinite articles,” and the word “the” is a “definite article.” in order In this podcast, the phrase “in order” means all right or okay, without any problems: “If the contract is in order, please sign your name on this line.” The phrase “in order” can also mean logically organized: “Please put these cards in order alphabetically by the customer’s last name.” Or, “These files need to be put in order by date.” The phrase “in order to do (something)” is a formal way to say “to do (something)”: “They had to buy a bigger car in order to have enough seats for their growing family.” If something is “out of order,” it is not organized logically and neatly: “How did these papers get out of order?” Another meaning of “out of order” is not working correctly: “The public phone is out of order, but you can use the one in my office.” 3 these materials on another website or distributing them in any way is prohibited.
