   My post about the neighborhood meeting upset people, even though I meant to support them.

   我写的那条关于社区会议的帖子惹人不高兴了，可我本来是想支持他们的。

2. Emma 0:04

   Was the issue the facts you shared, or the way your wording framed the people involved?

   问题出在你说的事实，还是出在你用词给相关的人套上了某种框架？

   Line 2
3. Tom 0:10

   I think it was the wording, because I called the complaints emotional while trying to show they mattered.

   我觉得是用词，因为我说那些投诉“很情绪化”，本来只是想表明它们值得被认真对待。

   Line 3
4. Emma 0:16

   I can see your intention, but that word often makes people sound less rational than informed.

   我能理解你的本意，但那个词经常会让人听起来不像是有依据，只像是不理性。

   Line 4
5. Tom 0:21

   That's what I missed, since I was focused on defending them rather than on the frame I created.

   我漏掉的就是这一点，我当时只顾着替他们说话，却没注意自己其实建了一个有问题的框架。

   Line 5
6. Emma 0:26

   Did anyone explain the impact directly, or are you mainly inferring it from public reactions?

   有人直接跟你说这个表达的问题了吗，还是你主要是从公开评论里自己推测的？

   Line 6
7. Tom 0:33

   Two neighbors messaged me privately and said the post made residents sound dramatic instead of informed.

   有两位邻居私下给我发消息，说这条帖子把居民写得像在小题大做，而不是在知情、理性地表达诉求。

   Line 7
8. Emma 0:39

   Then you have specific feedback, which matters more than guessing from a pile of angry comments.

   那这就不是空想了，你拿到的是具体反馈，这比从一堆生气评论里乱猜更重要。

   Line 8
9. Tom 0:45

   I want to apologize, but I don't want the apology to become a speech about my good intentions.

   我想道歉，但我又不想把道歉写成一段自我辩护，说自己本意多么好。

   Line 9
10. Emma 0:51

    Keep intention brief and name the effect clearly, because the impact is what people actually felt.

    那就把本意写短一点，把造成的效果说清楚，因为别人真正感受到的是那个影响。

    Line 10
11. Tom 0:57

    Should I delete the post first, or leave it there and add a correction underneath?

    我应该先删掉原帖，还是留着它再在下面补一个更正？

    Line 11
12. Emma 1:02

    If the original wording is still spreading the wrong frame, reposting cleanly may do less harm.

    如果原来的表述还在持续传递错误框架，那直接重发一条更干净的内容，可能伤害更小。

    Line 12
13. Tom 1:09

    That makes sense, and I can post a shorter correction without centering my embarrassment.

    这说得通，而且我可以发一个更短的更正，不把自己的尴尬感受放在中心。

    Line 13
14. Emma 1:14

    You might also ask one resident to check the new wording before you publish it.

    你还可以请一位居民先帮你看看新文案，再发出去。

    Line 14
15. Tom 1:18

    If they feel accurately represented, the apology has a better chance of rebuilding some trust.

    如果他们觉得自己被准确表达了，这次道歉就更有机会修复一点信任。

    Line 15
16. Emma 1:24

    Exactly, because the goal is not proving innocence but reducing the harm your wording caused.

    对，因为目标不是证明你无罪，而是减少你这次表达造成的伤害。
