[文法]幾個文法求助~

[kira12109 (三つ葉)]

1.A year later,the chair were going for a fraction of their $700 price on e-bay.

上面的"going for"在這個句子裡是什麼意思呢?


2.They positioned it for a brighter future by investingtens of millions of dollars in R&D.

句中的"positioned"可以翻譯成著眼於嗎?


3."not an easy sell"是一句諺語之類的嗎?是什麼意思呢?


4.Try telling a factory worker that his job is being eliminated so you can fund something that-may or may not-pay off five years down the road.

想請問最後的"pay off five years down the road"該怎麼翻譯呢~?



幾個問題麻煩高手解惑~謝謝
