看美剧学英语俚语：Call (all) the shots

Fannie

Call the shots: to dictate how a situation or agenda proceeds, as from a position of authority; to decide on the course of action; to be in charge. If you call the shots, you are the person who makes all the important decisions in an organization or situation.

中文释义：我们经常会问别人，你们家里谁说了算？也就是谁作最后的决定。美国人经常用“to calls the shots”来表达作最后决定、下命令的意思。“To call the shots”原来的意思是：军官给部队下达命令开枪。但是现在“to calls the shots”已经在口语中频繁出现。例句：My staff has to do what I say because I'm the boss, and I call all the shots here!（我的员工必须照我说的去做，因为我是老板，在这里我说了算。）
