這場戲：被抓去聽總統道歉
第 11 章 · 共 25 章 · 3'42"
明迪在家做直播，突然被 FBI 破門逮捕押走；到了白宮，總統卻說要以前所未有的方式動員救地球，還把責任推給 NASA 局長：你得 take the hit（背下這一下、擔責任），她則說 first thing tomorrow（明天一早就）引咎辭職。想學官場甩鍋和認錯的話術，這場最典型。
因洩密被逮：under arrest for（因某事被捕）

❝ 獨白 · 8 句 總統式道歉的鋪墊
先攀丘吉爾再道歉，把耍滑頭包裝成歷史擔當。
甩鍋時刻：你得 take the hit（背下這一下、擔責任）
relieved that 為……鬆了口氣take the hit 背下這一下、擔責任in disgrace 灰頭土臉、蒙羞地first thing tomorrow 明天一早就
明迪在家做自媒體直播，剛被勸去散步，FBI 就破門而入，因洩露國家安全機密把他逮捕、套上頭罩押走。白宮這邊先引一段關於「放下驕傲、承認犯錯」的話，宣佈要以前所未有的方式動員救地球，還送上一句「總統級的道歉」。明迪用 what you're saying is（你的意思是）反諷總結：你是快輸掉中期選舉，才想拿彗星做文章？有人提醒總得有人 take the hit（背下這一下、擔責任），並承諾以後會補償；被推出去的人則說 first thing tomorrow（明天一早就）引咎辭職。想學官場道歉、甩鍋、反諷的英文，這場夠用。

“I gotta use my voice to get the truth out there, right?”
我得用我的聲音把真相說出去，對吧？
把自封的使命說得又真又急，末尾的 right? 還要人點頭。
I gotta use my voice to ...
想說自己為某個立場發聲時能用；對不認同的人講會像說教，正式彙報裡別用。
I have to speak up about this. ／ I need to get the word out somehow.
口語
gotta 讀成一詞，truth out there 連讀，right 尾音上揚。
I gotta use my voice to defend the team here. 我得替團隊說句話。
“You could've just called me or showed up to my apartment.”
你打個電話，或者直接來我公寓找我不就行了。
不吵不鬧，用 could've 把不滿全倒出來，比罵人更讓人下不來臺。
You could've just ...
對做了多餘舉動的人表達不滿時用；對上級或客戶這樣問會顯得頂撞，場合要挑。
You could've just told me first. ／ All you had to do was call.
中性
could've 弱讀成 could-uv，just 輕帶，句尾放平。
You could've just asked me before booking it. 你訂之前問一句我不就行了。
“I just have more skin pigmentation than you.”
我只是色素比你多而已。
把膚色差異說成一句冷靜的科學事實，懟人卻一點不髒。
I just have more ... than you.
想用冷幽默化解外貌調侃時能用；涉及種族、身體的話題別隨便套，容易冒犯人。
I just burn faster than you. ／ It's only a difference in melanin.
口語
just 輕讀，more 上加重音，than you 一帶而過。
I just have more grey hair than you. 我只是白頭髮比你多而已。
“And we are fully prepared to mobilize in historic fashion in order to save this planet.”
我們已做好準備，以前所未有的方式動員起來，拯救這顆星球。
把官腔開到最大，historic fashion 堆在一起，反而更像選舉口號。
be fully prepared to ... in order to ...
寫正式宣告或釋出會用得上；日常說會像打官腔，跟朋友別這麼講。
We stand ready to act without delay. ／ We are fully committed to doing whatever it takes.
正式
fully、historic 重讀，in order to 一帶而過。
We are fully prepared to invest in order to keep the plant open. 我們已準備好投入資金，好讓工廠繼續開下去。
“So you're gonna have to take the hit on this one.”
所以這一次，得由你來擔這個責任。
take the hit 把背鍋說成一句輕描淡寫的分工，冷酷又真實。
take the hit on something
職場裡說誰來背責時能用；對同事當面甩鍋會結仇，給人留臺階的場合才用。
You'll have to take the fall for this. ／ This one lands on you.
口語
gonna have to 連成一串，hit on 連讀，this one 重讀。
Someone has to take the hit for the missed launch. 釋出搞砸了，總得有人擔著。
“I will resign in disgrace first thing tomorrow.”
我明天一早就引咎辭職。
resign in disgrace 把認輸說得體面，first thing tomorrow 又透著利落。
resign in disgrace / first thing tomorrow
半開玩笑地說自己認栽、走人時能用；真向老闆提辭職別這麼戲劇化。
I'll step down in disgrace tomorrow morning. ／ I'll fall on my sword first thing.
正式
resign in disgrace 連讀，first thing 重讀，tomorrow 收平。
I'll resign in disgrace over the coffee machine, apparently. 看樣子我得為咖啡機這事引咎辭職了。
I think it was Winston Churchill who… Or maybe it was Bobby Knight who said, "The great labor of leadership is to lay down one's yoke of pride and admit that mistakes were made." You were deceived, as was I, but the end result was, we had our scientists who went to, uh, the prestigious schools of Harvard, Princeton, et cetera. They confirmed the data. So we would like to offer you a… presidential apology.
我記得是溫斯頓·丘吉爾…… 也可能不是鮑比·奈特 他說過：“領導最大的功課，是放下驕傲這個包袱 承認自己犯了錯。” 你們被騙了，我也一樣， 但結果是，我們有去過，呃，哈佛、普林斯頓這些名校的科學家。 他們證實了資料。所以我們想向你…… 總統級的道歉。
下一章 · 12on a collision course註定相撞這場戲：總統宣佈彗星撞地球字面是「挨這一下」，實際是「背下責任、扛下這一擊」。劇裡說 So you're gonna have to take the hit on this one，就是「這次得由你來擔這個責任」，甩鍋、分責時常說。
first thing tomorrow。劇裡說 I will resign in disgrace first thing tomorrow，就是「我明天一早就引咎辭職」，表示一大早、第一件事就去做。
what you're saying is……。它把對方繞的話總結成一句，通常帶諷刺。劇裡就是用它把總統的道歉翻譯成「你是快輸選舉了才想動彗星」。
是，意思是「蠢得沒腦子」。劇裡吐槽對方在那臺電腦上敲 half-witted conspiracy theories（愚蠢的陰謀論），帶一點文縐縐的挖苦，比 stupid 更損。
指「灰頭土臉、蒙羞地」，常跟辭職、下臺連用。劇中 resign in disgrace 就是「引咎辭職」，暗示不是光榮離任，而是被推出去背鍋。
