英语词汇queen of the hill bill的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	queen of the hill bill
词源	Queen of the Hill Bill. I’ve heard this expression just once, but I’m sure it must be common in the U.S. House of Represen- tatives, because it was used as if it were an everyday phrase there by Congressman Harold Ford during a Fox News inter- view (7/1/01). The Tennessee Democrat defined a Queen of the Hill Bill as the favorite bill among many on a subject, the one bill that should be discussed and voted upon. The Hill, of course, is a synonym for the U.S. Congress.
