smoking gun
冒煙的槍，確切無疑的罪證
講解：
smoking gun字面上是指「剛擊發過、還在冒煙的手槍」，這是殺人犯無法抵賴的物證，引申為「確切無疑、足以定罪的證據」。
例句：
[Nixon] had also been listening to some of the disputed tapes, and he had found one—the “smoking gun'-that threatened to destroy his whole case ....This tape recorded Nixon ... ordering a cover-up, planning to use the FBI and CIA to protect himself.(出自：TIME, May 2，1994，p. 42 )
〔尼克松〕也在聽一些引起爭議的錄音帶，而且找到了一卷——也就是后來媒體稱之為「冒煙的槍」那卷錄音帶——可能會將他整個的抗辯推翻……帶子上錄有尼克松……命令手下掩飾，并計劃利用聯邦調査局與中央情報局來保護自己。
