crash and
在一篇文章中,我看到：CLODFELTER:"Crash and burn is a good one.Referring to somebody whos very gifted perhaps as an ace."
AA:"Meaning a pilot who shoots down a lot of other planes."
CLODFELTER:"Yeah,but obviously it can refer to an ace corporate executive,ace tennis player,I mean it can refer to many things.The term was first used in a military capacity in World War One."
那说明crash and burn指的是精英者.
又在另一文中看到：No,wait!I didn't mean that literally.When you say that someone is going to
crash and burn,it means that they are going to fail,usually in a very
spectacular or embarrassing way.‘
这里crash and burn又指的失败.
是两者都有,还是什么?
