If you have a definite purpose in mind, get to the point promptly.

如里有明确的意图, 就干脆说出来。

Up and down the country - Why not throughout the nation? Used when a politician needs to appear statesmanlike and non-partisan.

举国下—-为什么不干脆说全国呢？政治家想要显得特别重要、特别有风度的时候酷爱此词。

Brief, solid, affirmative as a hammer blow, this is the virile word, which must enflame lips and save the honor of our people, in these unfortunate days of anachronistic imperialism.

强有力的回答“不”锤击声那样短暂、有力、干脆，这就是在帝国主义横行霸道的不幸日子里该从我们口中愤怒地喷发而出，用以挽救我们民族尊严的词。
