1. Khrushchev was far too
canny a bird to discuss anything of value in a hotel room.

2. What they are not doing is simply giving in to what western governments and environmentalists would like them to do. They are more
canny than that.
他们所没做的只是那些西方政府和环保人士希望他们做的。他们能做的比他们要的更多。
3. China's new tax is
canny. It cuts fuel use, reduces imports, benefits local carmakers and may help to improve air quality. It also prevents any more pesky calls from Geneva.
中国新税非常精明,降低了油耗,减少了进口,对本土汽车厂商有利而且提高了空气质量,它还避免了日内瓦方面的纠缠。
