English term or phrase: Queen of the Cardboard
书中的“鸣谢”一节中有这么一段:
xxx, Queen of the Cardboard - thank you for your long days and for putting your entire heart and soul into making sure all customers receive their orders.

xxx是一个人的名字,后面的Queen of the Cardboard应怎么理解?请指教!

Explanation:
我的理解是,queen 的意思是 a woman or thing regarded as excellent or outstanding of its kind. (某领域的)王后;出类拔萃者(新牛津英汉双解大词典)

cardboard 是硬纸板,这里可能是用于包装产品的。

就是说,xxx 在做硬纸板业务方面是个佼佼者,出类拔萃者

neutral  Jun Ng: 这里指的应该是卖这本书的最后一个工序,就是把每一个客户的不同订单放进包装盒里邮递出去,这个小姐应该是很细心的人,从来不会把客人的订单搞错。
