關於 in the first place意思 ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

新聞下標真的是一門學問。

看看這些標題，請問大家：

白宮承認的「錯誤」，是指「推文放上台灣國旗」？還是指「刪除台灣國旗推文」？

看聯合報，感覺是前者。

看自由時報，感覺是後者，標題讀起來是小編不小心誤刪台灣國旗推文。

中央社標題有點踩在兩者之間。

答案是什麼？

可以看白宮新聞稿原文。

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/07/08/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-july-8-2021/?fbclid=IwAR0uRafGhnU5salqhuEO3w6E4ZvhNrA14JUfYgDHo3Z51qIsPN0VoQhUh80

答案很清楚。

白宮發言人說的是，當時一開始放上台灣國旗是個無心之過（honest mistake），後來發現了錯誤，就把推文刪掉了。

意思是，白宮的政策，「不應該」放上台灣的國旗。

以這三家媒體來看，聯合報的標題最符合白宮原意。

但如果不看標題，其實點進去看文章，三家都有把白宮發言人的話寫出來（但完整程度不一）。

台灣的媒體編輯下標時真的是各顯神通，建議大家還是要盡量看原文。

原文在此：

Q Thank you. There are hurt feelings among government officials in Taipei after the White House COVID team posted and then deleted a tweet that had an image of Taiwan’s flag along those of other nations getting vaccine doses from the United States. Was this tweet a mistake in the first place? And if not, then why was the tweet deleted?

MS. PSAKI: So, this was an honest mistake that was made by the team handling graphics and social media, and should not in any way be viewed as a shift in official U.S. policy. When we recognized the mistake, we removed the tweet. So we did exactly as you said.

We remain committed to our One-China Policy based on the Taiwan Relations Act, the three joint communiqués, and the six assurances.

有人問我：“在您的第一個專業比賽得第三名感覺很棒嗎？”
是的，我的意思是，確定它很棒（我猜是嗎？）但是我的內心對第三名並不滿意。 事實上，當我獲得第三名時，我對自己感到非常不滿。
我每天都不會在健身房訓練連續數小時獲得第三名。 我不樂意說“是的，如果我排名前五，或者至少排名第一……我會很高興的”。
⬇️RayLouis曾經說過⬇️
“如果你不為自己的偉大而感到生氣，那麼你就可以保持平庸。”
我並不認為自己是平庸……而且我認為沒有人應該這樣做。 第三名不是第一，不是卓越，不是偉大....它是中等的。
不過還沒有結束...直到我贏了才結束。 今年最好做好準備，因為我是第一名。 我可以保證，沒有人會讓我勞累。 你可能有天份基因幫助。 但是沒有人會比我更努力。 我要黃金了，你們都準備好了嗎？🥇

Some people ask me, “doesn’t it feel awesome to be third at your first ever pro league show?”
Yes, I mean, sure it’s awesome (I guess?) But my heart isn’t happy at third place. In fact when I got third I was super unhappy with myself.
I don’t train in the gym everyday for hours on end for third place. I’m not happy to say “yea, if I place top five or, AT THE VERY LEAST, place at all...I’ll be happy” No..
⬇️Ray Louis once said⬇️
“If you’re not pissed off for greatness, then you’re ok with being mediocre.”
And I AM NOT ok with being mediocre... and I don’t think anybody should be. Third place isn’t first, it isn’t excellence, it isn’t greatness.... it’s mediocre.
It’s not over though... it’s not over until I win. Better be ready this year, because I’m coming for first. And i can guarantee, you won’t outwork me. You might got the talent. But nobody will work harder than me. I’m coming for gold, and y’all better be ready🥇

香港10大無人能及的優點
Here are 10 things this great city does better than anywhere else.

1. 摩天大樓全球最多 Building into the sky

香港現時有1,251幢摩天大廈，數量全球最多，比新加坡要多一倍，形成叫世界讚嘆的維港景觀。除了高聳在城中，中銀大廈及香港國際金融中心等亦很具設計特色。
When you've got a heck of a lot of people and very little land, what do you do? Hong Kong's solution is to stack them up on top of each other, inside tall buildings.

2. 敢死的建築技巧 Daredevil construction

其他地方都是用鋼和鋁築棚，香港的竹棚技術讓各國驚訝。CNN甚至用「敢死(Daredevil)」去形容現時超過1,700位註冊竹棚工人呢。
Daredevil scaffolders dangling precariously on bits of bamboo suspended in midair are a common and heart-stopping sight in Hong Kong's streets.

3. 說廣東話的都是語言人才 Tonal talents

內地媒體日前傳言「說廣東話會生癌」，論點極具創意，而 CNN 卻從欣賞角度去看我們的語言 - 廣東話多達 9 個音，比普通話(4音)、泰文(5音)、越南文(6音)要多，每個音都有不同意思，足以讓外國人驚嘆其精細。而在香港，每日更有創新潮語豐富我們的日常對話。所以，識講嘅，一定係講廣東話。

2. 極低罪案率 Staying alive

這裡不單只是全球罪案率最低的城市之一，還是全球最少兇殺案的地方之一，絕對是全球最安全地方。
Hong Kong - with an intentional homicide rate of 0.2 per 100,000 people in the last 16 years - only lost out to Monaco and Palau, where there have been zero recorded murders.

3. 交通發達 Getting you there

香港公共交通系統之方便享譽全球，相對歐美國家，香港對私家車的依賴低得多。CNN 亦讚港鐵的運作表現優良。
Hong Kong is really good at getting you where you need to go.

6. 低稅制 Letting you keep your money

薪俸稅只在15%-17%之間，而香港亦沒有消費稅(GST)，是工作生活的好地方。
As a financial center that's historically been seen as the gateway to the Chinese market, Hong Kong is a great place to make money.

7. 武打電影 Kung fu movies

香港出產了李小龍、成龍、周潤發、張曼玉等國際巨星，而武打電影更能打入荷里活市場。外國人都能數得出多部知名武打電影如「臥虎藏龍」、「精武門」、「黃飛鴻」等作品。香港電影業的輝煌，有賴邵氏的貢獻。
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Maggie Cheung, John Woo, Wong Kar-wai ... the list of Hong Kong's cinematic heavy hitters goes on.

8. 優秀的國際機場 Soft landings

香港國際機場由1998年運作至今已取得逾 40 項國際大獎，更一直屹立於Skytrax的全球國際機場排名之中。縱使近年受到新加坡樟宜機場的挑戰，香港國際機場的載客量依然大幅拋離對手。
One of the most impressive sites for Hong Kong visitors is the airport. Sure, it's recently been toppled from the throne by Singapore's Changi Airport.But Hong Kong handles more passenger traffic, 53 million passengers in 2011.
Take that, Singapore.

9. 美食天堂 Foodie-ism

七百萬人，萬五家食府 (實際數字應該更多)，其多樣性和創意亦叫人目不暇給。雖然只是彈丸之地，香港有多家米芝蓮星級食府，這裡絕對是覓食的好地方。
Ever tried a syrup-slathered French toast filled with satay beef slices? Or instant noodles dressed in a cheese sauce?
No? You haven't lived.
Take it from this city of people who are very good at eating.

10. 喜愛夜蒲 Partying so hard the neighbors want in on it

中環蘭桂坊有超過 100 家酒吧蒲場，本地及外國人都集中在這裡狂歡。蘭桂坊的成功更被中國其他城市借鏡。
First time visitors to Hong Kong's party area, Lan Kwai Fong, might think they've entered a time warp, suddenly appearing in Ibiza or Cancun at 9 p.m. on a Friday night.
