- 正面：A big fish in a small pond. 做大池塘里的小鱼。
介绍观点：Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish in a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a employee in a large company and presiding in a small firm. 两个观点之间明显的差异在于，做一条小鱼在一个很大的池塘和做一条大鱼在一个小池塘，这是作为一个下属在大型企业工作,和在一个小公司担任工作。
身处高平台的好处：With the former, you can have a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization. You have the opportunities of learning from experienced boss and knowing about the standard working process. 对于前者，你可以从作为知名组织的一员而获得深深的满足感。你有机会向有经验的高管学习，了解标准的工作流程。
- 反面：A big fish in a small pond. 做小池塘里的大鱼。

谈个人看法：Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where my prospect of promotion is good as long as I work hard. To tell the truth, I'd rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond.就我个人而言,我更喜欢在小企业工作, 只要我努力工作，就能有好的晋升前景。说实话，我宁愿在自己的小池塘里成为一个知名的重要人物。
