重点解释

妙语佳句:

例句:We'll receive from you a letter written in Chinese.

原句:And you have incentive to protect the sales of that drug so you can continue to afford high-end items,such as your suit?

the sale of:销售...

例句:Do not bank on the sale of your house.

continue to do sth:持续干某事

例句:The steel market will continue to be active.
