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

   我那篇關於社區會議的貼文讓人不舒服，雖然我本意是想支持大家。

   Line 1
2. Emma 0:04

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

   問題在於你分享的事實本身，還是你措辭框住了當事人的形象？

   Line 2
3. Tom 0:10

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

   我想是措辭，因為我一邊想表達那些抱怨很重要，一邊卻說它們太情緒化。

   Line 3
4. Emma 0:16

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

   我懂你的用意，但那個字常會讓人聽起來不是有資訊，而是不夠理性。

   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.

   這就是我忽略的點，我只顧著替他們辯護，沒注意自己框架怎麼被看見。

   Line 5
6. Emma 0:26

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

   有人直接跟你說那造成了什麼影響，還是你主要是從公開反應推測的？

   Line 6
7. Tom 0:33

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

   有兩位鄰居私訊我，說那篇貼文讓住戶看起來像在演戲，而不是在提供資訊。

   Line 7
8. Emma 0:39

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

   那你就有具體回饋了，這比從一堆憤怒留言裡猜更有價值。

   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，但不想把道歉變成一場在講自己本意多好的演說。

   Line 9
10. Emma 0:51

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

    把本意講短一點，效果講清楚，因為大家真正感受到的是影響。

    Line 10
11. Tom 0:57

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

    我應該先刪文，還是先留著並在下面補上更正？

    Line 11
12. Emma 1:02

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

    如果原本的措辭還在持續擴散錯誤框架，乾脆重發一篇乾淨版本反而傷害更小。

    Line 12
13. Tom 1:09

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

    有道理，我可以發一篇更短的更正，不把焦點放在我自己的尷尬上。

    Line 13
14. Emma 1:14

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

    你也可以先請一位住戶幫你看新版本措辭，再發出去。

    Line 14
15. Tom 1:18

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

    如果對方覺得被正確呈現，這個道歉就更有機會修補一些信任。

    Line 15
16. Emma 1:24

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

    沒錯，目標不是證明你無辜，而是減少你措辭造成的傷害。
