It is the talk of the town.

这是镇上的话题。

Let’s say a new business opens in your community. Everyone is excited about it! Some even invest money. It is the talk of the town. Then, it fails. People who once supported it don’t seem to remember supporting it.

假设你的社区里开张了一门新生意。每一个人都为之振奋，有人甚至在里面投了钱。这是这座城镇茶余饭后的谈资。结果，它黄了。那些曾经支持它的人把这回事似乎忘得一干二净。
