APAD: I will hold you accountable

移花接木
楼主 (文学城)

Hold somebody responsible/accountable/liable (for something)to say or decide that someone should accept the responsibility for something bad that happens. 

For example: If anything happens to her, I'll hold you personally responsible. 

It really happens.

Numerous times we were facing challenges of backorder to customer vs equipment issues, manpower shortages,running out time, ect.  I don't have the necessary resouces to fulfill the mission.  In these cases, the business owner'd say I understand your problem, but I have to hold you accountable.

是“负责”的意思吗:

hold someone accountable for something collocation   Add to word list  to make someone responsible for what they do and demand a satisfactory reason for it:  It is important to hold schools accountable for the performance of all their students.  They want him to be held accountable for what he has done. See accountable hold  Fewer examples Managers were asked to set targets and hold themselves accountable for them. The government needs to be heldaccountable for the way it spendstaxpayers' money.  Justice means holding people accountablefor their actions.

这里的语气是比较严厉。但一般的hold…accountable就是中性语气吧
