以下是希拉里承认败选的演说中的一句话：
Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest
glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million
cracks in it.
玻璃天花板是一个生动的比喻，意为“无形的障碍( an invisible barrier)”。
glass ceiling: An unacknowledged discriminatory barrier that prevents women and minorities from rising to positions of power or responsibility
天花板虽然没有打碎，但是上面已经有了一千八百万个裂缝，此处喻指在党内预选中投票支持希拉里的一千八百万民主党选民。
