A mogul is a person with huge money and power in one line of work — films, newspapers, oil, tech. A media mogul owns TV stations; a Hollywood mogul runs a studio. Newspapers love the word; you would not use it of a small shop owner.

A mogul is指的是 in one line of work在某一行業裡 with huge money and power擁有龐大財富與權力的 a person一個人 — films, newspapers, oil, tech像電影、報業、石油、科技這些領域。A media mogul媒體大亨 owns TV stations擁有電視台；a Hollywood mogul好萊塢大亨 runs a studio經營片廠。Newspapers love the word報紙很愛用這個字；you would not use it你不會用它 of a small shop owner來說一個小店老闆。

The picture behind it is the Mughal emperors of India (older English wrote Moghul). They were so famously rich — the Taj Mahal comes from that world — that English borrowed their name for any hugely rich and powerful person. Further back, Mughal is Persian or Arabic for “Mongol”; the early emperors claimed a line to Genghis Khan. In older books Mogul can also mean the emperor himself.

The picture behind it這個字背後的畫面 is是 the Mughal emperors of India印度的蒙兀兒皇帝 (older English wrote Moghul)（較舊的英文寫法是Moghul）。They were so famously rich他們出了名的富有 — the Taj Mahal comes from that world泰姬瑪哈陵就是出自那個世界 — that English borrowed their name富有到英文借用了他們的名字 for any hugely rich and powerful person來稱呼任何極為富有又有權勢的人。Further back再往前追溯 Mughal is Persian or Arabic forMughal在波斯語或阿拉伯語裡就是 "Mongol"「蒙古人」的意思；the early emperors早期的皇帝 claimed a line to Genghis Khan自稱與成吉思汗有血脈關係。In older books在較舊的書裡 Mogul can also meanMogul也可以指 the emperor himself皇帝本人。

Though actually there is another mogul that looks the same: a hard bump of snow on a ski slope. Skiers bounce over a field of moguls. That word comes from dialect German Mugel or dialect Norwegian mugje, a heap or mound. It has nothing to do with emperors.

Though actually不過其實 there is another mogul that looks the same還有另一個長得一模一樣的mogul, a hard bump of snow on a ski slope指滑雪坡上一塊硬雪堆成的凸包。Skiers滑雪的人 bounce over a field of moguls會在一整片雪包地形上彈跳而過。That word這個字 comes from dialect German Mugel源自德語方言Mugel or dialect Norwegian mugje或挪威語方言mugje, a heap or mound意思是土堆或土丘。It has nothing to do with emperors跟皇帝一點關係都沒有。
