有時(shí)會(huì)聽到有人抱怨，說上司總是把他份內(nèi)該做的事派給下屬去做，而自己卻在那里享清閑、得功勞。這樣很愛分派任務(wù)的家伙就叫做office quarterback。

Office quarterback refers to a manager that is infamously known for handing off their work and other useless assignments to you that they could and should be doing themselves.

Office quarterback（“辦公室四分衛(wèi)”或“四分衛(wèi)經(jīng)理”）指在辦公室中常常將自己份內(nèi)的工作或一些毫無意義的工作分派給下屬去做的經(jīng)理，這樣的人一般都惡名遠(yuǎn)揚(yáng)。

In the sport of football, quarterback is an important player who gives instructions to other players. In this term, office quarterback is someone giving instructions to other workers in the office.

在足球運(yùn)動(dòng)中，四分衛(wèi)是個(gè)很重要的位置，主要是給其他隊(duì)員提供指導(dǎo)。這里的“辦公室四分衛(wèi)”就是在辦公室里給別的員工發(fā)號施令的人。

For example:

The office quarterback just handed off a bunch of her assignments to me, AGAIN!

四分衛(wèi)經(jīng)理又把她的一堆活派給了我！
