bandwagon; to be on the bandwagon.
很早以前在收音机和电视还没有出现的时代,竞选官职的人为了吸引公众的注意往往会雇一个乐队,让他们在一辆马车上演奏。马车上贴了许多标语,鼓励人们投某某人的票。这种有乐队的马车就叫bandwagon。要是这个候选人特别受人拥护,那些无足轻重的小政客就会登上那辆马车,让人们知道他们和这位名人关系很好。这就是jump on the bandwagon。有时有望风使舵的含义
/After the latest polls I think that Green is going to win. Let's jump on the bandwagon right now and endorse the man before we get left behind. 得马上表态支持他
/Sometimes you can tell who is going to win a big office like President or Governor by watching how many other politicians come running to jump
on his bandwagon and get credit for supporting him.
/When it became apparent that Reagan was going to win the election,
everybody began climbing on the bandwagon.
/No one seemed prepared to accept my idea at first, but when I gained
the support of several famous people, suddenly everyone wanted to climb on the bandwagon.
/Don't worry about people supporting our movement. Once we get
started, a lot of people will be happy to hop on the bandwagon.
/Late in teh election campaign, when Kennedy's popularity began to sag,
there was a great scramble to hop off the bandwagon. 这是反义的用法
/Unless we get more support, people will hesitate to climb on our
bandwagon. 偶尔
