为什么用banana来表示呢?早期的戏剧表演通常都包含这样一个部分:其中一个喜剧演员会用一个柔软的物体敲打其他人的头。这个物体的形状就像香蕉。
Top banana still is used mainly in show business. Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in any area.
Top banana仍主要用于娱乐行业。然而,这个短语还可以用来形容任何领域的重要人物。
A kingpin is another word for an important person. The expression comes from the game of bowling. The kingpin is the number one pin. If hit correctly with the bowling ball, the kingpin will make all the other nine pins fall. And that is the object of the game.
Kingpin(首领、头目)是另一个形容重要人物的短语。这个短语来自保龄球。Kingpin是保龄球中最重要的球瓶。如果正确地用保龄球击中它,Kingpin能让其它九个球瓶都落下去。而这就是打保龄球的目标。
So, the most important person in a project or business is the kingpin. If the kingpin is removed, the business or project is likely to fail.
因此,一个项目或企业中最重要的人就被称为。如果Kingpin被撤职,这个企业或项目就可能会失败。
Kingpin is often used to describe an important criminal, or the leader of a criminal gang. A newspaper may report, for example, that police have arrested the suspected kingpin of a car-stealing operation.
