Question

1. Although he often had the opportunity,Mr Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank,and he did not want to jeopardize his future.(   )

Answer 1

1. 使……陷人危险。句意：虽然他常常有机会，但崔特先生从来不敢从银行客户那里偷钱。如果他那么做的话，他在银行的职位会处于危险的境地，而且他不想使他的未来陷入危机。为了避免重复使用endanger—词，用其近义词jeopardize来替代，由此推知其词义为"使……陷人危险"。
