问题: be missing a piece.
The aim is to unblock the flow of credit markets now, then sell the securities later, when the housing market improves.
But the new shape of Wall Street will be missing a piece. The credit crisis has ended the age of big investment banks. This week the last two, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, became bank holding companies.请问 be missing a piece. 怎么理解?

少了一样

这里的piece是否让您不解? 因为这个单词在中文里是“一块”的意思。
实际上在英文里,piece并不局限在“块状物体”,可以泛泛地理解为“个体”。比如 a piece of art 一件艺术品。
再举一个可能让您对这个miss a piece更为理解的比喻:拼图游戏您知道吧,完整的图,缺了“一块”,传神否?
