У вас нет личного мнения по этому вопросу, вы просто транслируете общепринятую позицию.
Comentário do autor
Под "транслировать общепринятую позицию" подразумевается то, что человек просто повторяет чужие распостраненные мнения и идеи, выдавая их за свои.

You don't have a personal opinion on the matter - you're just parroting the general consensus.

Uly, cпасибо)
Parroting is really good for informal speech.
But what if I'd like to use more formal option?...
Does Tatiana's phrase "mainstream view/perspective" suit in this case?
⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago
PARROTING can be used in any register.

“communicating the mainstream view” could work if that person were chosen or elected to represent or be the spokesperson for a group It doesn’t really describe someone who’s just repeating other people’s opinions because he doesn’t have one of his own.

But what if it's a scientific discussion?
Parroting" may sound a bit offensive, no?
⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago
No, it just means repeating back what you’ve heard.
