عبارت انگلیسی
return
معنی و توضیح
The word “return,” in this podcast, means the percentage earned on one’s investment, calculated as the amount of money received divided by the amount of money invested: “Would you rather have a guaranteed 3% return, or a 20% chance of getting a 20% return?” The phrase “in return for (something)” means in exchange for something, or as payment for something: “We’ll give you meals and a place to sleep in return for free childcare.” Finally, the phrase “the point of no return” refers to the point in an activity or process where it becomes impossible to stop or reverse what one is doing: “The editor called to make some last-minute changes, but we were already past the point of no return, because the book had already been printed and shipped.”
