Language Tips:

上文中提到腐敗時，用到一個形容詞entrenched，這個詞常用來形容something firmly established and difficult to change，也就是“根深蒂固，難以改變的“意思，比如，entrenched interests（既得利益）、entrenched quotes（經(jīng)典名言）等等。報道中提到反腐斗爭已經(jīng)將不少高官拉下馬，這里的senior officials其實就是習主席反腐講話中提到過的”老虎“（tigers），既然說到這一點，不如我們就溫習一下習主席的原話吧：要堅持‘老虎'、‘蒼蠅'一起打，既堅決查處領導干部違紀違法案件，又切實解決發(fā)生在群眾身邊的不正之風和腐敗問題。要堅持黨紀國法面前沒有例外，不管涉及到誰，都要一查到底，決不姑息。”（We must uphold the fighting of tigers and flies at the same time, resolutely investigating law-breaking cases of leading officials and also earnestly resolving the unhealthy tendencies and corruption problems which happen all around people. We should adhere that there are no exceptions in the face of party discipline and state law, with no leniency, no matter who is involved.）
