在一个企业里,核心领导人物总是被叫做 big cheese。这个表达的字面意思是巨乳酪,一个很口语化的称呼,所以在用时要格外小心场所,最好别直接叫领导 big cheese。

例句

If you want to get anything done here, you need to speak to the big cheese.

Since he became the big cheese he doesnt have time for us anymore.

请注意

另一个包括 cheese 的短语是 like chalk and cheese, 字面意思是像粉笔和奶酪,常用来形容两个人的个性或面貌完全不同。

例句

My two children are like chalk and cheese one is tall with fair hair and blue eyes and the other is short with dark hair and dark eyes.

Me and my brother are like chalk and cheese Im really shy and quiet and hes really talkative and sociable1.
