中式英文Some sales people just try to let others take the responsibility.
老外這樣說“Pass the buck” 這個片語指 “blame other people or make them responsible for a problem”（為了一個問題指責他人或要他人負責），類似中文裡「踢皮球」的意思。順帶一提，前美國總統杜魯門在其白宮辦公桌上擺有 “The buck stops here.” 的標語，用以傳達「不再踢皮球，責任我來扛」之意。
實境對話
A: He said if the product were any good, he’d have no problem selling it. Can you believe it? B: Don’t worry. Those sales reps are always trying to pass the buck. A：他說如果這個產品真有賣點，他就不會賣不出去了。你相信嗎？ B：別管他。那些業務總是在互踢皮球。
老外還會這樣說
Those sales guys are always trying to pin the blame on somebody. 那些業務總是想將過錯推到他人身上。
We all need to take responsibility for the problem. 我們都應該對這問題負責。
職場成功 Tips 美商公司相當注重 “ No excuses.” 的精神，也就是說，遇到問題沒關係，只要有後續解決方案以尋求改進就好，最忌諱推拖找藉口。如果你一味推諉責任，美國老闆會跟你說：“ I don’t want to hear any ands, ifs, or buts. Just do it now!”（我不要再聽任何「然後」、「如果」和「可是」了。現在做就對了！）
