"I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole… we had entire training courses."This is a line from a speech made by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Texas. 美国国务卿蓬佩奥在德州演讲时有一段名言：“我曾任CIA的局长，我们撒谎、欺骗、偷盗；还有一套完整的培训课程。” Following a burst of laughter from the audience as a response to that line, Pompeo hastened to add:"It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment." 可想而知，这个发言引起现场听众的哄堂大笑。蓬佩奥还不忘补上一句：“这让我想起了光荣的美国实践。” If lying, cheating and stealing do not sound outrageous for someone working at the CIA, what makes it less sensible though is that after becoming Secretary of State, Pompeo has done little to change what he's learned from those "training courses," but carried the practice even further. 在CIA时，撒谎欺骗偷盗也就罢了，但在蓬佩奥换了工作，当上国务卿之后，不仅没有改变所受的那种特殊训练，而且变本加厉了。 His attacks on China are exact proof of that. At all times and in all places, Pompeo never forgets to lash out at China, using nothing other than lying and cheating as his weapon.
