| Phrase | at all costs |
| Text | The phrase "at all costs," in this podcast, means no matter what is required, regardless of how difficult, challenging, or expensive something will be: "Sharon is determined to make the business successful at all costs, even if it means working 80 hours a week." The phrase "at cost" is used when someone sells something for the same price he or she paid for it: "When Jodi was learning to decorate cakes, she sold them to her friends at cost, but now she has her own business and sells the cakes for profit." The phrase "to bear the cost" means to be responsible for paying for something: "If we increase the number of teachers at the school, who is going to bear the cost of their salary and benefits?" |
