intact
The word "intact" is most commonly used to describe physical objects that have survived a dangerous event without breaking, such as buildings after an earthquake or fragile items during shipping. It can also be used more abstractly to describe things like a person's reputation, dignity, or a legal agreement that has not been changed or damaged.
💬Trò chuyện
🎬Tuesday afternoon, Sarah is at her desk while Jessica is pacing in the conference room.
Jessica
Did that prototype survive the shipping? Please tell me it's still intact.
Sarah
Yeah, it made it. Barely managed to avoid a total meltdown over the packaging though.
💡
Jessica's anxiety is evident in her need for immediate confirmation of the item's condition. Sarah uses 'made it' as a phrasal verb meaning to arrive safely and 'total meltdown' as an idiom describing a complete emotional or systemic collapse, reflecting her exhausted persona.
