A big fish 一條大魚
當(dāng)我們形容某人是 a big fish 一條大魚時，這就是說這個人是一個重要人物。
The whale shark is the largest fish in the ocean and is generally found in tropical or warmer seas. Although it has a lifespan of over 70 years, the fish is currently under threat due to the demand for shark fin soup, popular in Asia. China recently announced a ban on shark fin soup from all official banquets.
鯨鯊是海洋中最大的魚，常出沒于熱帶或溫暖的海洋地帶。盡管鯨鯊壽命有70多年，但由于亞洲地區(qū)對魚翅湯的需求，鯨鯊受到了非常大的威脅。中國最近宣布官方筵席上禁止點(diǎn)魚翅湯這道菜。
例句

Sepp Blatter is the President of FIFA and a big fish in international football.
If you want the organisation to invest in your project, you really need to talk to a big fish, not me.
請注意
當(dāng)某人是 a big fish in a small pond 小池塘里的一條大魚，一個意思是小池塘里的一大魚；另一個意思是說這個人是大材小用。
She thinks she’s really important, but she’s just a big fish in a small pond.
