最近有这样一条热搜：美国时间3月2日晚，在第97届奥斯卡颁奖典礼上（The 97th Oscars），主持人Conan O'Brien（柯南·奥布莱恩）在主持的时候突然说起了中文，颁奖现场秒变求职现场了。

Conan O'Brien: ... And for those of you watching from China, I am in serious financial debt. Please consider using me in your many films. I beg you. Thank you! (English subtitles)

01. 为何主持人在颁奖典礼飚中文？

Actually the clip (片段) didn't show all of his speech because the host actually greeted people from different countries in three different languages, not only Chinese. But when he spoke Chinese, he was asking for a job.

02. In financial debt 负债

It means owing money to someone or a bank.

For example, if you borrow $100 and you haven't paid it back (还没有偿还) yet, then you are in financial debt.

in serious financial debt 负债累累

For example, if someone lost his job and couldn't pay his mortgage (抵押), his credit card bills (信用卡账单) or his student loan she or she would be in serious financial debt.
