(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

大多数人都明白这样一个道理：如果是自己犯下的错误，就不应该把责任推卸给别人。表达 to pass the buck¹ 就是“推卸责任”的意思，它指“明明是自己的问题，却要责备他人”这一行为。

据说，to pass the buck 这个说法源于扑克牌。在过去，人们在打牌时会用一把柄部由“buck 雄鹿”角制成的猎刀来表示是谁在做庄。

例句

Naomi always passes the buck. Whenever² she makes a mistake³, she says someone⁴ else did⁵ it.

娜奥米总是推卸责任。她每次犯错都说是其他人做的。

Don't pass the buck! You know it's your turn to do that!

别推卸责任，你知道这回该你做了！

Lee's team are tired of him passing the buck whenever he makes a wrong decision⁶.

李的团队已经厌倦了他的这个行为 — 只要他做出错误的决定，他都会把责任推到别人头上。
