glass ceiling

短语“glass ceiling”字面意思是“玻璃天花板”，however，它还有“阻止女性升迁的无形障碍”，主要指不顾资质和成绩，阻碍少数民族和女性在职场升迁的一道无形又难以打破的障碍。“Brass ceiling”指“军队和执法部门中、阻止女性进一步升迁的一个无形障碍”，它由“glass ceiling”演化而来的，这里的“brass”一词就代表军队和执法部门的制服，因为他们的制服纽扣都是用黄铜做的。

[例句]

在现在的职位上，她突破了升迁的障碍，成为该公司第一个升至高级管理层的女性。

hit the ceiling

“ceiling”有“天花板”的含义，“hit the ceiling”翻译成“打天花板”就有失偏颇了。所以“hit the ceiling”就是“勃然大怒”的意思喽！它在之前有分享过哦！它也有一个意思相近的短语，那就是“hit the roof”,“roof”有“屋顶”的含义。天花板和屋顶有相似性，所以这两个短语表达的意思也比较相近。两个一起记，是不是更好记呢？
