輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第226期:大人物

核心句型：
You know those bigwigs are really hard to please.
你要知道，那些大人物真的很難伺候。
bigwig的意思是：“大人物、權貴之人”。在很早以前，人們有一種習俗，戴着假髮來遮掩亂糟糟的頭髮。在英國，假髮根據不同社會階級和職業而有所區別，那些重要人物的假髮往往比一般人的要大得多，所以後人就用“大假髮”來形容“大人物”了。因此，當美國人說"You know those bigwigs are really hard to please."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"You know those big shots are hard to please."、"You know it's hard to serve those VIPs."。
情景對白：
Shirley: Why should I be left holding the baby? You know those bigwigs are really hard to please.
