恒星口语讲堂:"控制权"用英语怎么说?

今天我们来学两个和开车有关的口语表达，一个是 in the driver's seat，另一个是 backseat driver，都是什么意思呢？赶快往下看吧。

1. In the driver's seat 掌有控制权

A: I should've hired somebody else to do this. A good designer should always listen to the voice of her clients.
我早该请别人来做这份差事的。一个好的设计师是应该都听从她的客户的意见的。

B: Honey, you can't always be in the driver's seat. I'm sure Lisa is a very good designer. She knows what she's doing. Have some faith in her.
甜心，你不能凡事都想自己作主。我确信Lisa是一个很好的设计师。她知道要怎么做。你要对她有点信心。

"In the driver's seat" 是一个蛮好玩的词语。当一个人坐在司机(开车的人)的座位上时, 是不是要把车开向左或向右都随他呢？所以用"in the driver's seat " 来形容一个人对一件事掌有控制权实在是再恰当不过了，不是吗？
