Everybody\'s business is nobody\'s business.众人负责等于无人负责

集体行动的逻辑，所有人都负责一个项目，实际上没有人能够承担责任。

There\'re 4 people named everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody.There was an important job to be done, and everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody could\'ve done it, but nobody did it. Somebody got angry that because it was everybody\'s job. Everybody thought anybody could do it, but nobody realized that everybody wouldn\'t do it. It ended up that everybody blamed somebody when nobody did what anybody could have done.

有四个人分别叫做“每个人”、“某些人”、“任何人”和“没有人”。有一项重要的工作需要“每个人”做。“每个人”确信“某些人”会做的。“任何人”都可能会做，但是“没有人”做。“某些人”生气了，因为这是“每个人”的工作。“每个人”认为“任何人”都会做，然而“没有人”意识到“每个人”都不会做。结果是，“每个人”批评“某些人”，“没有人”做“任何人”可能都会做的事情。
