All week we've been accompanying the leaders of the corporate world through the halls of power. Today we take a ride on a high-speed executive elevator to see the view from the top!
Hold on to your hats!
TOP BRASS 幹部
- The top brass are the people with the highest-ranking (= most important) positions in an organization.
- top brass とは、組織の中で最上位の（最も重要な）人々のことを言います。
- (two co-workers)
a: Who is that who just came in? He looks important.
b: He's one of the top brass at headquarters. I think he's vice president of worldwide sales or something like that. - a: Are you nervous about your presentation this afternoon?
b: Very. All the top brass are going to be there. - a: What are you reading?
b: It's a collection of interviews with the top brass from five of the world's largest corporations. - I'm not surprised she got that promotion. She's always schmoozing with the top brass.
It's going to be a great day!
