caliber

Perhaps the first thing that students notice about their college is the caliber of their fellow students.

可能学生们对这所大学关注的第一件事就是同学的才干。

One of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head - execution style.

其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指著我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。

Also, the further an executive rises, the more he or she must deal with high-caliber people who know how to get what they want, are difficult, strong-willed and have a sharp appetite for power.

此外，管理者升迁到越高的位置，他/她就必须越多地与更有才干的人打交道，这些人知道如何得到自己想要的，他们往往难以相处，意志坚定，有更强的权力欲。
