Question

ESLPod_0501_WE_0677 Buying Glasses In this podcast, the word "hinge" means the small piece of metal that connects two larger pieces of wood, plastic, or metal, letting them move toward and away from each other, such as for a door or lid to close: "Please put some oil on the hinge so the door to the baby's room isn't so noisy." A "hinged lid" is a lid that can be opened and closed, but not separated from the box or container, because it is attached on one side: "Their mailbox has a hinged lid." The phrase "to hinge on (something)" means to depend on something: "Our ability to buy that home hinges on whether we can get a good loan." Or, "The health of millions of people hinges on whether we can find a cure for AIDS."
