Palm of one's hand意思是你可以完全控制你手中的东西。也就是说,文中这句话可以理解为,你会通过赢得他们的信任,和那些人在你的手掌中玩耍。一个类似的表达是have them right where we want them的地方,当你想控制某事,或者当你想控制某人或某事时,这两个都可以使用。示例: The residents will be in the palm of our hands after they announce who the new Mayor is. They'll have to agree to the new building. (一旦我们宣布新市长,居民将掌握在我们手中。最终,他们将不得不同意建造新建筑。) 示例: Because he's so talented, he's got his parents in the palm of his hand. (他才华横溢,连他的父母都取笑他。) 例子: I have the board of directors in the palm of my hand. (我控制了董事会。)
