轻松日记商务职场篇第226期:大人物

核心句型：
You know those bigwigs are really hard to please.

你要知道，那些大人物真的很难伺候。

bigwig的意思是：“大人物、权贵之人”。在很早以前，人们有一种习俗，戴着假发来遮掩乱糟糟的头发。在英国，假发根据不同社会阶级和职业而有所区别，那些重要人物的假发往往比一般人的要大得多，所以后人就用“大假发”来形容“大人物”了。因此，当美国人说"You know those bigwigs are really hard to please."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You know those big shots are hard to please."、"You know it's hard to serve those VIPs."。

情景对白：
Shirley: Why should I be left holding the baby? You know those bigwigs are really hard to please.

雪莉：为什么把这个苦差事留给我干?你要知道那些大人物真的很难伺候。

Jane: Oh, come on! They're VIPs of our company. We all want to know them. You're so lucky!

简：噢，别抱怨啦!他们可是我们公司的贵宾啊。我们都想认识他们。你太幸运了!
