许多网友都在慨叹，我国交际官杨洁篪tiger yang的外号真不是白叫的，非常?hard-line（坚持情绪的，强硬的）。
1901年的我国赔钱又丢权。慈禧说：尽中华之物博，予各国之欢心。
2021年的我国交际美国交际官说：美国没有资历居高临下同我国说话！咱们不吃你们美国这一套！
感触多多之余，咱们来看看交际官这两句“金句”用英语可以怎么说：
the?united states?should not be condescending in?its tone when speaking to?china.
其间，“居高临下”可以用condescending/?k?nd??send??/?。
condescending是“体现出优胜感的；居高临下的”的意思，具有贬义颜色。
来看看词典中的例句：
professor hutter’s manner is extremely condescending.
赫特教授的情绪极为狂妄。
??咱们不吃你们美国这一套！
we chinese people don’t buy it.
buy除了有“买”的意思，还有accept（承受），believe（信赖）的意思。
口语中buy it标明“信认为真”，i don’t buy it就是“我才不信赖，我不吃这一
套！”
再举个比方：
don’t talk to me in that way, because i don’t buy it.
别用那种方法和我说话，我才不吃这一套！
老规则，今日的最终一同来读一篇四六级/考研难度的文章：

我国人就是这么干的，这件事发生在1972年，理查德·m·尼克松总统(president richard m. nixon)那次改动世界的访华之旅进程中。

panda diplomacy has had a long history, but before ling-ling and hsing-hsing arrived in the united states (not long after nixon returned from his trip), there hadn’t been a giant panda here for more than 20 years.
熊猫交际前史悠长，但在大熊猫玲玲和兴兴抵达美国之前（尼克松从我国归来后不久），美国现已有20多年没有大熊猫了。

玲玲和兴兴的到来成了《纽约时报》的头版新闻，先是一场剧烈的争论，谈论它们究竟大约住在啥当地。在1972年3月1日的文章中，默里·舒马赫(murray schumach)写道，“众家动物园园长为得到一只是非相间、带黑眼圈的毛绒小丑用尽全身身手，就像政ke为了变成总统会议代表一般剧烈。”?

by march 13, nixon had made his decision: the pandas would live at the national zoo. the conversation then turned to another urgent question:
3月13日，尼克松做了抉择，两只熊猫将入驻国家动物园。接下来谈论焦点变成了另一个扎手的疑问：
“the sexual identity of the pandas has been discussed at the highest levels,” robert b. semple jr. wrote in an article on march 14. “while?sunning?himself in key biscayne, fla., john d. ehrlichman, mr. nixon’s top domestic policy adviser, received a call from a zoologist who said he feared that the chinese might send two males or two females.”
“最高层人士曾为熊猫的性别打开谈论，”3月14日，小罗伯特·b·森普尔(robert b. semple jr.)撰文写道，“尼克松的最高国内方针参谋约翰·d·埃利希曼(john d. ehrlichman)在佛罗里达州基比斯坎休假晒太阳时，接到一个动物学家的电话，说他忧虑我国人会送来两只雄性熊猫或两只雌性熊猫。”?

他们并没有这样做。女熊猫玲玲和男熊猫兴兴在4月初抵达美国，并于4月20日初度对大众露脸。在另一篇头版文章里，娜恩·罗伯逊(nan robertson)写道，“第一个去看望熊猫的是理查德·m·尼克松的夫人，整个介绍进程中一向咯咯笑个不断。”?

and what about those musk oxen?
“frankly, i just don’t think musk oxen have the sex appeal pandas do,” the national zoo director, theodore reed, was quoted as saying in another page 1 article by ms. robertson. “you like musk oxen, but pandas can steal your heart away.”
“率直地说，我觉得麝牛不如熊猫那么性感，”罗伯逊女士在另一篇头版文章中引证国家动物园园长西奥多·里德(theodore reed)的?怠！澳憧梢韵舶昱＃苊ㄈ茨芡底吣愕男摹！?/section>
