RIDE ON ～次第である
- If one thing rides on another, the first depends on the result or success of the second.
- ride on とは、何かの結果や成功によって決まる、つまり、～次第である、という意味です。
- There's a lot riding on this interview. If it goes well, I'll be earning a six-figure salary at one of the top law firms in the country.
- The company has been accused of price gouging, and their reputation is riding on the judge's verdict (= decision).
- (fictional newspaper headline)
Studio's future rides on success of 3D biker film.
Right on!
