showstopper 的意思很容易被猜錯
字面上看起來好像是 ”使表演中斷的人或東西”
其實這樣講也沒錯
只是它指的不是搗亂的人或東西
而是指整場表演中最精彩的部份, 或是表現最棈彩的一個人
就是因為太精彩了, 所以讓觀眾讚嘆和鼓掌不斷, 而使得整個表演暫時中斷了
要等大家安靜下來才能繼續進行
因此才叫它 showstopper
現在它也被用來指任何吸引人或受歡迎的事物
兩個字分開寫成 show stopper 也可以
來造些句:
1. She is quite a showstopper.
2. His performance was a real showstopper.
3. She has a showstopper of a smile.
4. The yellow flowers against the black background are a showstopper.

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
