| Phrase | to read up on |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to read up on" means to learn about something by reading information about it, especially printed materials like brochures: "Before you go to the job interview, try to read up on the company so that you can ask intelligent questions about the position." The phrase "to read between the lines" means to understand someone's feelings or opinions even when they are not stated directly: "I thought she sounded happy, but her mother said that by reading between the lines she could tell her daughter was actually very sad." The phrase "read my lips" is used when one wants to emphasize that what one is saying is true and important: "Read my lips: I won't raise taxes." |
