今天 vanityfair.com 美国名利场杂志官方网站刊登文章阐述为何美国现任司法部长威廉·巴尔(William Barr)总是在支持帮助在道德上不受束缚的总统。文章中使用了 carry water for 来描述本应坚持法律与规矩的司法部长却袒护道德有问题的总统。
原句如下：
Washington keeps asking why the law-and-order attorney general is carrying water for a morally untethered president. The answer may lie in the youthful lessons Barr learned from his father, a combative, provocative New Yorker—not unlike Donald Trump.
carry water for (someone) 往往是指迫于种种压力去支持某个人，某个团体或某个事业，虽然本人实际内心并不赞同。 To support a person, organization, or cause that one would not in reality endorse, as due to pressure, force, or pragmatic reasons.

Citations Trump’s China Tariffs Not Playing in Peoria. Meanwhile, consumer prices will jump for those goods and others derived from them. They may rise faster than wages, which are not rising at all once you consider inflation. -- mauldineconomics.com October 2, 2018
----------------------------- Donald Trump will probably lose the election. But he is a final warning. Unless political elites of both the left and the right become more humble, unless they once again ask themselves how their agendas will play in Peoria, the next rough beast might slouch over the corpse of the republic.
"Will it play in Peoria?" goes back to the days of vaudeville. The city of 115,000 in central Illinois was once considered the ultimate focus group, the embodiment of Middle America, the place to test a joke or a soda or a social policy to learn what white folks without a fancy degree thought of it. Back in the day, you knew better than to defy the settled judgment of this ultimate test market. You went as far as Peoria would let you, and no further. ---- theglobeandmail April 3, 2017
