Sun Shan said, with a smile:Sun Shan was the last on the list. Your son came after Sun Shan.
孙山笑着对邻居说:孙山考了最后一名,你儿子的名字还在孙山的后面呢。

名落孙山现在大多指考试没有通过等意思,英语中可以说成fail the exam。
在这里要提一个短语apple-polish,近百年前,有些美国小学生喜欢在老师的桌上放点擦得鲜亮的苹果,想讨好老师,以防自己名落孙山,但后来擦苹果(apple-polish)逐渐产生了贬义,表示讨好,拍马屁,贿赂的意思,用于讽刺那些谄媚奉承,讨好别人的人。而擦苹果的人 (apple-polisher)就成了阿谀逢迎者,马屁精。学习还是要脚踏实地的好啊~~~
我们来一起看一个例句吧~
John is such an apple-polisher.He always agrees with whatever the boss says.
约翰是个马屁精,不管老板说什么,他都赞同。
