喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A powerhouse is a person, team, company, or country that is extremely strong, successful, and full of energy in what it does — much stronger than most others in the same area. You can call a sports team a powerhouse if it keeps winning, an economy a powerhouse if it produces huge wealth, or even a small person a powerhouse if they have surprising strength or drive. The literal, older meaning of the word — a building where electricity is generated — still exists, but the figurative 'strong and impressive' meaning is far more common today.

    ① (比喻)強大的人、隊伍、公司或國家;強勢主力 ② (字面上,較少用)發電廠
