在这个新人辈出、新产品充斥市场的年代，如果能够在某个较长时间段内被大部分人所熟知，那就是很大的胜利了。就算以后销声匿迹，曾经拥有过属于自己的Elvis year也是个不错的肯定呢。这样一说，你大概也就猜出来Elvis year是什么意思了吧。

Elvis year refers to the year in which a product, person, or phenomenon peaks in popularity¹. It can also refer to a person’s 42nd year of life, the age that Elvis Presley died, in certain context².

猫王年（Elvis year）指某个产品、某人或者某种现象最为盛行的那一年。另外，在特定语境下，这个表达也可以用来指代人们42岁那一年，猫王就是在42岁那一年辞世的。

A similar term is Jesus year, a person’s 33rd year of life, the age that Jesus is said to have been when he died.

与之类似的一个表达是耶稣年（Jesus year），指人们33岁那一年，据说是耶稣辞世时的年纪。

For example:

He is past his Jesus year, but has yet to hit his Elvis year in his career.

他已经过33岁了，但事业还是毫无起色。

The year 2005 is the Elvis year of the “Super Girl”.

2005年是“超女”最热的一年。
