"Be in a minority of one" nghĩa là gì?

"Be in a minority of one" = trong tình thế thiểu số một người -> nghĩa là không ai đồng tình với mình, mỗi mình theo quan điểm đó.

Ví dụ
‘Don’t you remember me? Julie. Julie Gregson, Beladon Productions. The audition?’‘That was ages ago. Anyway, you turned me down.’ ‘I didn’t, Sherry. I liked you, but found myself in a minority of one.’

When reflecting on his 20 years in the business, Olusoga said he considers himself a “survivor” rather than a success story, having had to overcome the “loneliness” of “always being in a minority of one, fighting every fight alone, seeing what others don’t see.”

I also decided that the intellectually honest thing to do would be to invite one of the sceptics (người hay hoài nghi) to join us and tell us why the basic assumption of the conference were wrong. So, I invited Will Davies. I told him that he would be in a minority of one, but that we would nevertheless value hearing what he had to say. He replied promptly and succinctly (ngắn gọn, súc tích), declining the invitation. The reason he gave, however, was not that he wasn’t available, merely that he wasn’t “interested”.
