这场戏：被抓去听总统道歉
第 11 章 · 共 25 章 · 3'42"
明迪在家做直播，突然被 FBI 破门逮捕押走；到了白宫，总统却说要以前所未有的方式动员救地球，还把责任推给 NASA 局长：你得 take the hit（背下这一下、担责任），她则说 first thing tomorrow（明天一早就）引咎辞职。想学官场甩锅和认错的话术，这场最典型。

甩锅时刻：你得 take the hit（背下这一下、担责任）

明迪在家做自媒体直播，刚被劝去散步，FBI 就破门而入，因泄露国家安全机密把他逮捕、套上头罩押走。白宫这边先引一段关于「放下骄傲、承认犯错」的话，宣布要以前所未有的方式动员救地球，还送上一句「总统级的道歉」。明迪用 what you're saying is（你的意思是）反讽总结：你是快输掉中期选举，才想拿彗星做文章？有人提醒总得有人 take the hit（背下这一下、担责任），并承诺以后会补偿；被推出去的人则说 first thing tomorrow（明天一早就）引咎辞职。想学官场道歉、甩锅、反讽的英文，这场够用。

“I gotta use my voice to get the truth out there, right?”
我得用我的声音把真相说出去，对吧？
把自封的使命说得又真又急，末尾的 right? 还要人点头。
I gotta use my voice to ...
想说自己为某个立场发声时能用；对不认同的人讲会像说教，正式汇报里别用。

不吵不闹，用 could've 把不满全倒出来，比骂人更让人下不来台。

我只是色素比你多而已。
把肤色差异说成一句冷静的科学事实，怼人却一点不脏。

所以这一次，得由你来担这个责任。
take the hit 把背锅说成一句轻描淡写的分工，冷酷又真实。
take the hit on something
职场里说谁来背责时能用；对同事当面甩锅会结仇，给人留台阶的场合才用。
You'll have to take the fall for this. ／ This one lands on you.
口语
gonna have to 连成一串，hit on 连读，this one 重读。
Someone has to take the hit for the missed launch. 发布搞砸了，总得有人担着。
“I will resign in disgrace first thing tomorrow.”
我明天一早就引咎辞职。
resign in disgrace 把认输说得体面，first thing tomorrow 又透着利落。
resign in disgrace / first thing tomorrow
半开玩笑地说自己认栽、走人时能用；真向老板提辞职别这么戏剧化。
I'll step down in disgrace tomorrow morning. ／ I'll fall on my sword first thing.
正式
resign in disgrace 连读，first thing 重读，tomorrow 收平。
I'll resign in disgrace over the coffee machine, apparently. 看样子我得为咖啡机这事引咎辞职了。
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.
我记得是温斯顿·丘吉尔…… 也可能不是鲍比·奈特 他说过：“领导最大的功课，是放下骄傲这个包袱 承认自己犯了错。” 你们被骗了，我也一样， 但结果是，我们有去过，呃，哈佛、普林斯顿这些名校的科学家。 他们证实了数据。所以我们想向你…… 总统级的道歉。
下一章 · 12on a collision course注定相撞这场戏：总统宣布彗星撞地球字面是「挨这一下」，实际是「背下责任、扛下这一击」。剧里说 So you're gonna have to take the hit on this one，就是「这次得由你来担这个责任」，甩锅、分责时常说。
first thing tomorrow。剧里说 I will resign in disgrace first thing tomorrow，就是「我明天一早就引咎辞职」，表示一大早、第一件事就去做。
what you're saying is……。它把对方绕的话总结成一句，通常带讽刺。剧里就是用它把总统的道歉翻译成「你是快输选举了才想动彗星」。
是，意思是「蠢得没脑子」。剧里吐槽对方在那台电脑上敲 half-witted conspiracy theories（愚蠢的阴谋论），带一点文绉绉的挖苦，比 stupid 更损。
指「灰头土脸、蒙羞地」，常跟辞职、下台连用。剧中 resign in disgrace 就是「引咎辞职」，暗示不是光荣离任，而是被推出去背锅。
