| Phrase | balance |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "balance" means equilibrium, or a combination of two or more things so that one thing does not overpower another: "The company wants to have a good balance between sales growth and good customer service." When speaking about a person, "balance" is one's ability to remain standing and not fall to one side: "He drank so much alcohol that he lost his balance and fell down when he tried to walk." Finally, the phrase "to hang in the balance" means that one doesn't know whether something will be good or bad, or successful or unsuccessful: "The doctors said that her life was hanging in the balance, but that they would do everything possible to try to save her." |
