Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?
However, experts predict difficulties with the supply of imported equipment spare parts, repair, and other elements of security, to which Russia's military infrastructure ill-equipped.
ill-equipped = poorly supplied with physical equipment
While Liverpool is behind leading the championship with Manchester United by one point, though mancuniantsy have one game in hand. Arsenal, typing 61 points, took fourth place with a time lag from the leader at 10 points.
behind leading the championship [FONT="]with Manchester by one point = be in arrears with Manchester by one point[/FONT]
Mancunian = of or relating to Manchester, England
Basketball Moscow Dynamo dropped out of the fight for the championship medals, behind and in the second quarterfinal match the St. Petersburg Spartak - 68:73.
Two of the team have dropped out, and I don't know where we'll find replacements.
After the eighth grade poorer pupils drop out completely.
drop out = withdraw from participation in a group such as a school, club, or game
Vox's idea of protection would be to mash Tamlin to the path and straddle him like a baby while swinging his great axe two-handed at all comers.
mash = crush = to put down
straddle = to stand or sit with a leg on each side of; bestride: straddle a horse
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
