"the Controller of BBC Television Programmes" 1.1 A person in charge of an organization's finances. "the regional controller for the Department of Education" ------------------------------------ Compare the above with the following information regarding 牵线人: LA 指為青年男女牽線的月下老人。泛指媒人或介紹人。 例 「他今天和張小姐結婚，真要感謝熱心牽線人」、「這宗生意牽涉甚廣，利潤甚豐，可惜苦無牽線人居中接洽」。 TP 民國八十七年，羅慧夫顱顏基金會跨出國際援助的第一步，至今足跡已遍及四個國家，幫助六百多名貧窮病童矯治唇顎裂，而這一切，最初的幕後牽線人，竟是可敬的台商冼文舉。 The Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation began its international assistance efforts in 1998, and to date has sent teams to four countries, where they have repaired oral clefts for over 600 children from poor families. In all of this, the first person to pull strings behind the scenes was Taiwanese businessman Hsien Wen-chu. 木偶不会自己跳, 幕后定有牵线人。 (lit) Puppets can't dance by themselves; there must be someone behind the curtain pulling the strings. (fig) There is always someone behind the scenes “pulling the strings.” |
