0528 TPS Finish the Sentence Contest－Answer and Explanation你是接龍的高手嗎? 正確解答!
Answer: We believe the sentence is best completed this way:
“Even though attentive citizens can distinguish between tyrants and democratic leaders, some authoritarian figures are so slick, lies don’t stick to them.”
Public-spirited leaders who are in public life to improve the lot of citizens are strikingly unlike dictators whose first priority is to maintain power and perks. Each is human, but the resemblance ends there. Yet some who deceitfully rise to the top of a political system demonstrate tremendous political instincts. They seem to know what to say when to placate and appease an oppressed population. In this sentence, “slick” leaders are said to slip away without having to account for their lies and deceptions, wording that completes the image of an oily-tongued politician.
熱心公益的領袖在位時會努力改善人民生活，獨裁者則將保有權力與福利擺在第一位，兩者同樣是人，除此外截然不同。另外，有些靠著欺騙手段掌權者，則展現了敏銳的政治直覺，知道用什麼說詞，去安撫、討好被壓迫的民眾。本句中，“slick”（狡猾）的執政者說謊欺騙，也能成功脫身、不必負責，描繪出油嘴滑舌的政客形象。
