Follow suit：仿效別人

12月8日，美國眾議院最終以336票贊成75票反對的投票結果通過了情報機構改革法案，這是中央情報局自1947年成立以來第一次“大手術”。根據該法案，美國將新設國家情報局長一職并增設全國性反恐中心；確定了情報搜集工作的先后優先順序；加強美國的邊境管理。外電報道如下：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.(一家店鋪開始延長營業時間，同一條街上的其他商店也都照方抓藥。)

據悉，這項議案在通過前遭到了社會各界、特別是參議院保守派人士的強烈質疑，反對者擔心新設的國家情報局長的介入會破壞原有的軍事指揮和決策系統模式；并大大削弱國防部長的權力、尤其是預算權。
