have an ace in the hole.
为什么解释为胸有成竹呢?
有什么文化背景吗？

字面意思：底牌就是我最有用的那张牌.
这一短语起源于一种扑克玩法,一张面朝下放的扑克牌称为“a hole card”,对自己最有用的牌称为“ace”.
迄今发现的最早的引用这一短语的出版物为1886年6月爱荷华州的报纸《新纪元》（The New Era）.
原文："Thus matters went on until four cards lay in front of each man, face up and one turned down. Not a pair in sight and everyone thought each man had an ace 'in the hole'."
