台詞
To my disappointment, she wasn’t you.
Clearly. She was on a date with you.
Are you coming?
There's Marty Adler.
And have the management committee.
It’s hard to carry this firm on my shoulder.
Looks like Marty's rain dance paid off.
Marty’s not a rainmaker, he’s a kingmaker. Whoever gets on his deal wins the golden ticket.
They’re still promoting everyone who’s tracking, right?
What do you have to worry about?
01
rainmaker字面意思是造雨的人。
想一想可以求雨的都是能人啊。
所以這個短語可引申為"呼風喚雨的人;干一番事業的人」，多指很會賺錢。
She is the very definition of a rainmaker.
她就是搖錢樹的化身。
But that guy is a rainmaker.
但是那傢伙是個商界奇才。
