In the Bible在聖經裡，Goliath is a huge, strong fighterGoliath（歌利亞）是一個巨大又強壯的戰士。 A young shepherd named David kills him with a stone from a sling一個叫大衛的年輕牧羊人，用彈弓射出的石頭殺了他，and David later becomes king而大衛後來成了國王。

English took that name and now uses Goliath — often with a capital G, sometimes without — for any person, company, or team that is very large and powerful, especially when a much smaller one stands against it. Newspapers love a David and Goliath story for a little side beating a giant.

English took that name英文借用了這個名字，and now uses Goliath — often with a capital G, sometimes without —現在會用 Goliath——通常大寫 G，有時不大寫——for any person, company, or team that is very large and powerful來指任何非常龐大、強大的人、公司或團隊，especially when a much smaller one stands against it尤其是有一個小得多的對手在對抗它的時候。 Newspapers love a David and Goliath story報紙很愛「大衛對抗歌利亞」的故事，for a little side beating a giant講的是弱小的一方打敗巨人。

The word feels a bit dramatic; in ordinary talk people might just say giant or huge company. Though actually, calling someone a Goliath is about size and power. The old story makes Goliath the enemy, but the modern word is mostly the big one.
