Now, if you start to narrow the deck— kill them off— you have a chance to do something that's probably never been done on TV before, which is to really grip an audience and wring them like a dishrag. 而现在,如果你们开始弃牌——除掉他们——你们就能有机会真正牢牢抓住观众,像拧抹布一样拧动他们的心,这也许在电视史上都是前无古人的。
dishrag
[ noun ] a cloth for washing dishes <noun.artifact>
