banner

Compared meaning: excellent, of very high quality (adjective).

比较义项：极好的，出色的（形容词）。

• banner 本词

  Banner is almost always used right before words like "year," "day," or "season" to describe an outstandingly successful period; it rarely describes objects, food, or people directly.

  banner几乎总是紧接在“year”“day”“season”等词前面，用来形容异常成功的一段时期；很少直接用来形容物品、食物或人。

  This year has been a banner year for small businesses across the country.

  今年对全国的小企业来说是极为成功的一年。

• choice

  Choice usually describes food or goods carefully selected for their top-grade quality, as in "choice cuts" or "choice produce," common in shopping and cooking contexts.

  choice通常形容经过精心挑选、品质上乘的食品或商品，例如“choice cuts”（上等肉块）或“choice produce”（优质农产品），常见于购物和烹饪语境。

  The butcher set aside the choice cuts of beef for his best customers.

  屠夫把上等的牛肉留给了他最好的顾客。

Banner and choice both mean excellent here, but each has one fixed use. Banner is almost always used right before 'year' or 'day', describing an outstandingly successful period; it rarely describes objects or people. Choice describes food or goods that are carefully selected and top-grade.

这两个词在此义项上都可表示“极好的、上等的”，但适用范围和固定搭配不同：banner几乎只用于banner year、banner day等固定搭配，形容异常成功的一段时期；choice通常形容精心挑选、品质上乘的食品或商品，常见于购物、烹饪语境。这里不比较banner作名词表示“横幅、旗帜”的意义，也不比较choice作名词表示“选择”的意义。
