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.

真的吗？不过依我看，管理重要，人们的意识也同样重要。我们在生活中都多多少少做过一些侵犯知识产权的事，比如说下载音乐、买盗版碟，买一些假名牌什么的。所以我想要真正解决问题，大家还应该好好地规范规范自己的行为才行。

Really? In my opinion supervision is important, but public awareness is equally as important. In our daily lives, we have all done something to infringe on intellectual property rights to some degree, for example: download music, buy pirated DVDs, buy fake brand name goods, etc. So, I think that if we genuinely want to solve this problem, everyone has to diligently regulate their own behavior.
