例句

Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed lonely man who wanted attention and got it by killing a President was only the first in a long line of patsies .

越大的謊言越有人相信。一個瘋狂的無名之輩，想出風頭暗殺了總統，這只是一長串名單中的第一個替罪羊。

Investors who put money with such managers should be labeled patsies, not partners.

將錢投給這種經理人的投資者應當被打上懦夫的標簽，而不是合伙人。

So the patsies are those investors who pick the below-average managers.

所以替罪羊就又成了那些選擇低于平均水平經紀人（或公司）的投資者們。
