释义 |
"Take me to your leader" is a science-fiction cartoon catchphrase, said by an extraterrestrial alien who has just landed on Earth in a spacecraft to the first human it happens to meet. In cartoons, the theme is frequently varied for comic effect, such as a pun on the phrase to suit the setting, or the alien addressing an animal or object it assumes is an earthling. It is believed to have originated in a 1953 cartoon by Alex Graham in The New Yorker magazine. The cartoon depicted two aliens telling a horse "Kindly take us to your President!"[1][2] By May 1957, when the "Mr. Zero" episode of the Adventures of Superman aired, the phrase was already a popular cliché. In science fictionThe phrase is also frequently used in parody science-fiction media. Notable examples of its use include:
(Luke Skywalker, in Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor (2008))
(from Life, the Universe and Everything (1982) by Douglas Adams, describing Trillian addressing the inhabitants of Krikkit)
