| Phrase | ladder |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "ladder" means a structure formed by two long, vertical metal or wooden poles, with many smaller pieces connecting them, creating steps for someone to climb up high: "Do you have a ladder that's tall enough to paint the second story of the home?" The "corporate ladder" refers to the positions that one holds in a business or an industry, gaining more experience and responsibility with each position: "He earned his law degree and spent the next twenty years climbing the corporate ladder." Finally, the "social ladder" refers to how one moves up in society, becoming more respected, powerful, and influential: "Would you ever consider marrying a rich, influential man just to move up the social ladder?" |
