My life was ruled by tk – which stands for “to kum,” or “to come,” in the jargon of reporters. We fact-checkers would joke about the lazy reporters who would hand us copy such as, “Juan Tigar, tk years old, grew up in tk before studying at tk.
我的生活被 tk 所主宰——在记者的行话中，这是“to kum”的缩写，也称作“事实待查”。我们这些事实核查员会拿偷懒的记者开玩笑，这些人送到我们手中的稿件中写道“Juan Tigar，年龄待查，幼年居住地待查，学校待查。此人目前在Widgets公司任职，具体职务待查，他…”。我们的工作是填满这些待查。
