站位轮候队 Explanation: 在摇滚音乐会场外，如果有一排轮候进场在作为站立观众的，都是明显地代表该乐团受欢迎的程度。楼上的Bea Geenen的解析是对的。 |

peer agreement (net): +1人气 Explanation: 字面意思是：站立空间都站满了人，其人气也就可想而知了。 这个line应该是人排着的队伍吧。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2008-11-17 11:32:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 请把Castle Heights小學后移到“家庭作业” -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2008-11-17 11:32:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 请把Castle Heights小學后移到“家庭作业俱乐部”之前。 |

| Reference: "marketing line"/ "saying" Reference information: "Line" refers to a phrase which is commonly used in certain situations. In this case the line is "Standing room only". It officially means that there are no seats, visitors can only stand. But the implication is that the event will be very popular (like a rock concert). It is used in a mocking way here. |
