核心畫面

Picture someone sitting in a vehicle that other people are moving: they are being carried along, not steering and not working. That one detail — along for the ride, contributing nothing to the motion — is what gets borrowed when the word is used about a team.

可以想成:車上坐著的那個人,車子是別人在開、別人在顧,他只是被載著走。就是這一點——「跟著走,但不出力」——後來被借更多收起可以想成:車上坐著的那個人,車子是別人在開、別人在顧,他只是被載著走。就是這一點——「跟著走,但不出力」——後來被借去說團隊裡的人。

From the picture

團隊裡沒出力的人

把「被載著走、不用出力」搬進團隊:大家在推,他坐在上面跟著到終點。
