holdings
معنی و توضیح
The word “holdings,” in this podcast, means something that a person owns, especially shares (stocks) in a company: “Do you have any holdings in energy companies?” A “holding” can also be land, buildings, or other things that a person or company owns: “The company is expanding its land holdings in the Southern United States.” The phrase “to hold off” means to wait, or to decide to do something later: “They decided to hold off the wedding until after her mother recovered from her illness.” Finally, the phrase “to be left holding the bag” means to be the only person who has to deal with a difficult situation, even though other people helped to create that situation: “Caroline was left holding the bag at work when her co-worker left the company before their project was finished.”
