踏上成功第一步

door salesman will tell you that he must really and truly have a foot in the door （ie. be invited into a home） before he can sell someone his products.

　　However, as an idiom, to have a foot in the door means to be allowed to join a company, a group, a club, an activity, etc, as one's first step toward success.

　　"I'm not a star yet, but I think I have a foot in the door because I've already appeared in two films this year," Jimmy smiled.

　　一名成功的入戶拜訪推銷員在把他的産品推銷出去前，他縂會告訴你他的一衹腳已經伸進門裡邊了（也就是說他已經被邀請入屋）。

　　但是，作爲一個俚語，to have a foot in the door 意思是說被允許加入某個公司，某個組織，某個俱樂部或者某項活動等等，這衹是某人踏上成功的第一步。

　　吉米笑著說：“我現在還不是一名明星，但我想我已經踏上了成功的第一步，因爲今年我已經出縯了兩部電影。”
