Lyu Xinhua was responding to a question about a former member of the Party's highest decision-making authority, during a news conference before the opening of the annual session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

 

China is firmly resolved to fight corruption¹, and last year, 31 senior officials, some of them above ministerial level, were investigated for graft², Lyu said.

 

He said he has also read related media reports but refrained from elaborating.

 

"That's all I can say right now, and I think you understand what I mean," he said.

 

在全国政协会议开幕之前的新闻发布会上，吕新华对某媒体提出的关于一名前共产党高官的问题作出应答。

 

吕新华说，国家坚决打击腐败，去年就有31名高官因腐败接受调查，其中有些是部级以上干部。

 

他表示他也从相关的媒体报道中得到了一些信息，但没有再细说。

 

他说：“我只能回答成这样了，你懂的。”

 

中国日报（China Daily）将吕新华这句经典的“你懂的”翻译成了I think you understand what I mean。这一神回应在现场被翻成了you know what I mean。
