Follow suit：仿效別人

12月8日，美國眾議院最終以336票贊成75票反對(duì)的投票結(jié)果通過了情報(bào)機(jī)構(gòu)改革法案，這是中央情報(bào)局自1947年成立以來第一次“大手術(shù)”。根據(jù)該法案，美國將新設(shè)國家情報(bào)局長(zhǎng)一職并增設(shè)全國性反恐中心；確定了情報(bào)搜集工作的先后優(yōu)先順序；加強(qiáng)美國的邊境管理。外電報(bào)道如下：The scattered agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community are about to get a new leader. The question is: Will that person have enough authority to make them follow?

On Tuesday, the House broke a monthlong stalemate and approved legislation to overhaul the nation's intelligence system. The Senate is expected to follow suit today.

But the compromises that went into creating a director of national intelligence have left many government officials and espionage experts skeptical that key reforms will amount to more than an administrative reshuffling - or will make the nation any safer.

Follow suit表示“跟著出同花色的牌，跟著做，仿效別人”，例如：One shop began to prolong the shop hours, and all other shops along the same street followed suit.(一家店鋪開始延長(zhǎng)營業(yè)時(shí)間，同一條街上的其他商店也都照方抓藥。)

據(jù)悉，這項(xiàng)議案在通過前遭到了社會(huì)各界、特別是參議院保守派人士的強(qiáng)烈質(zhì)疑，反對(duì)者擔(dān)心新設(shè)的國家情報(bào)局長(zhǎng)的介入會(huì)破壞原有的軍事指揮和決策系統(tǒng)模式；并大大削弱國防部長(zhǎng)的權(quán)力、尤其是預(yù)算權(quán)。
