heyday“全盛时期”的最佳表达

 　　“大鲨鱼”奥尼尔来了！这位赢得四枚总冠军戒指的NBA巨星前天来到北京，与“体操王子”李宁站在了一起。李宁品牌将联手奥尼尔合作SHAQ系列专业篮球产品线，共同开拓中国篮球市场，这是中国体育品牌第一次与世界顶级球员合作。

　　李宁在其全盛时期曾经为中国体育赢得一百零六块金牌，在1999年被世界体育记者协会评选为“二十世纪世界最佳运动员”，他的名字和拳王阿里、球王贝利、飞人乔丹等25位体坛巨星一道登上了世纪体育之巅。“全盛时期”英文怎么说？请看《中国日报》的报道:

　　China sportswear manufacturing giant Li-Ning has agreed a sponsorship deal with Miami Heat's All-star centre Shaquille O'Neal, it was announced on August 14 in Beijing...

　　Li Ning, who was nicknamed China's "prince of gymnastics," won 106 gold medals for China during his heyday¹ in the 1980s.

　　句中的“heyday”means the most successful or popular period of someone，意思就是“全盛时期；最高潮时期”。再看两个例句：

　　In his heyday, he was a great tennis player.（他年轻力壮时，是一位了不起的网球运动员。）

　　By the 80s, punk rock had really had its heyday.（到了80年代朋克摇滚已过了全盛时期。）

1 heyday   

n.全盛时期，青春期

参考例句：

• The 19th century was the heyday of steam railways.19世纪是蒸汽机车鼎盛的时代。
• She was a great singer in her heyday.她在自己的黄金时代是个了不起的歌唱家。
