那些被普通民众吐槽“假大空”千篇一律而无实际内容的“外交辞令”，在我们新闻发言人眼里，却有着极为严格的表达规范，并且有着十分丰富的解读空间。有的时候真是到了只可意会，不可言传的程度。

Diplomatic rhetoric, that is jokingly referred to by the general public as empty ramblings, all more or less identical and impractical in content, in the eyes of us spokespersons, has a very strict form of expression, and has quite large room for interpretation. Sometimes it's often really just to the point where you can understand, but can't communicate it.

针对日前发言遭媒体朋友断章取义，本人感到十分遗憾。但对于因此心理受到伤害���灾民，本人由衷道歉。当时的意思，是要请灾民以及我们第一线的同僚提出具体需求，而非消费灾民，本人既然身为地方首长，当然要与民众站在一起，希望能有具体作为。

It pains me that my comments were taken out of context by the media, but I would like to extend a heartfelt apology to any flood victims who felt hurt as a result. At the time, I was asking flood victims and rescue workers on the front line to come up with actual demands. I wasn't trying to use the flood victims and as a member of the local leadership. Of course I should stand shoulder to shoulder with the public and do something substantive for them.

老爸，你又要开始领导式发言了。要真那么强大，我还用得着每天苦哈哈地练英文吗？说白了，这就是一档娱乐性节目，什么推广汉语，弘扬中国文化，这都是节目的噱头，赚收视率呢。

Again with the leadership speeches, dad. If we're so powerful, is it still necessary for me to practice English every day? To put it plainly, this show is for entertainment. These popularization of the Chinese language and enhancement of Chinese culture are all gimmicks meant to boost ratings.
