Sample Sentences

目前在外交交涉中最常见的表述，依事件的严重程度，主要有：关注或关切、遗憾、不满或反对、抗议。目前在外交辞令上，“抗议”是最严重等级。举例来说，若日本高官参拜靖国神社后，中国外交部通常都会在第一时间表示“强烈抗议”。而抗议按照程度递进又可分为：抗议、强烈抗议和最强烈抗议。
mùqián zài wàijiāo jiāoshè zhōng zuì chángjiàn de biǎoshù ，yī shìjiàn de yánzhòng chéngdù ，zhǔyào yǒu ：guānzhù huò guānqiè 、yíhàn 、bùmǎn huò fǎnduì 、kàngyì 。mùqián zài wàijiāo cílìng shàng ，“kàngyì ”shì zuì yánzhòng děngjí 。jǔlì láishuō ，ruò Rìběn gāoguān cānbài jìngguóshénshè hòu ，Zhōngguó wàijiāobù tōngcháng dōuhuì zài dì yī shíjiān biǎoshì “qiángliè kàngyì ”。ér kàngyì ànzhào chéngdù dìjìn yòu kě fēnwéi ：kàngyì 、qiángliè kàngyì hé zuì qiángliè kàngyì 。
Currently the most commonly seen formulations in diplomatic negotiations, according to the degree of importance of the incident, are mainly: "关注" or "关切", "遗憾", meaning "regret", "不满" meaning "dissatisfied" or "反对", meaning "oppose" and "抗议" meaning "to protest". Currently in diplomatic rhetoric, "抗议" is the most severe level. For example, after high-level Japanese officials worship at the Yasukuni Shrine, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs will usually immediately announce their "强烈抗议" or "strong protest". "抗议" itself has different progressive levels, that can be divided into "抗议", protest, "强列抗议", strongly protest, and "最强烈抗议", protest in the strongest terms.

Most of those high-level officials' education experience is fake too. Every single one seems to have a doctorate, but a lot of them got it while on the job. Do they really have that much time to work seriously on a doctorate? If the country did a full-scale examination, I guarantee a ton of high-level officials would fall.
