英语词汇that-s the ball game的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	that-s the ball game
词源	that’s the ball game. One would suspect that phrases like this, meaning that’s the end of anything from a sports contest to an election, have been used since the first baseball game was played. So were expressions like it’s a whole new ball game, “it’s a new beginning,” and it’s the only ball game in town, “it’s the only choice available.”
