Alex: You don't know how much we made, do you?

Manger: I have a ballpark figure.

我大概知道數字多少

-----------------------------------------------------------

ballpark figure約略估計的數字」,這裡指所賺的金額。

重點是 ballpark 這個字可是 ball + park 的複合字?
實在看不出來和「球」、「公園」有什麼關係。

這個字其實在美國口語確實可以指「棒球場」,一般則
baseball diamond,因為四個壘包剛好形成一個菱形。

more example

If you can't tell me the exact cost, please give me a ballpark figure.

假如你不能告訴我準確的價格,請給我一個大約的數字。
