在10月25日外交部例行记者会上，有记者就此事向华春莹发问：

　　美国《纽约时报》周三报道称中国和俄罗斯的情报部门一直在监听特朗普总统个人的苹果手机。该报引用美方官员的话称，中国政府期望利用监听到的内容对应对贸易摩擦的策略有所帮助，请问你对此有何评论？

　　On Wednesday, the New York Times carried a report saying that the Chinese and Russian intelligence agencies have been bugging President Trump's iPhones. The newspaper cited the US officials as saying that the Chinese government hopes that the eavesdropping could help with its strategy on trade frictions. What is your comment?

　　我也看到了你提到的《纽约时报》的这篇报道，感觉现在美方有督察j些人真的是想不遗余力地角逐“奥斯卡最佳剧本奖”。如果可以的话，我有三个建议：

　　I have also seen the report mentioned by you. I think that now certain people in the US are sparing no effort to win the "Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay". If possible, I have three pieces of advice for them.

　　第一，《纽约时报》应该知道，它发表类似报道，只会多一个其做fake news（假新闻）的证据。

　　Firstly, the New York Times should have known that releasing such kind of report would only add to evidence that it was fabricating fake news.

　　第二，如果很担心苹果手机被窃听的话，可以改用华为手机。

　　Secondly, if they are worried that their iPhones may be eavesdropped, they might want to use the mobile phones produced by Huawei.

　　第三，如果还觉得不放心，为了绝对安全起见，可以停止使用任何现代通讯设备，断绝与外界所有联系。

　　Thirdly, if they are still not reassured, for the sake of absolute security, they may stop using all modern communications devices and cut themselves off from the 喵帕斯本子 outside world.

　　华春莹的幽默回应驳斥不实消息的同时，又为国货做了“广告”，怼得漂亮！栽赃、找茬、编剧本、耍聪明，这样的做派在任何时候都注定没市场。

　　网友看完纷纷点赞：

　　就在华春莹回怼《纽约时报》的几个小时后，美国当地时间25日9点57，特朗普发推了！

　　内容是：“《纽约时报》又多了一个假新闻！”。

　　还以当事人的身份，为华春莹提供了有力证据，“神助攻”了一把：

　　他们监听我手机通话？1.我几乎很少用手机；2.就算用也是政府公务电话；3，我喜欢用固定电话。

　　外媒注意到了这事儿，纷纷开启报道模式：

　　BBC：在特朗普手机的监听指责中，中国建议他换华为

　　China has jokingly suggested that US President Donald Trump should swap his Apple iPhone for a Chinese model, as it denied a report claiming Beijing was bugging his private calls.

　　中国否认监听特朗普私人电话的指责，开玩笑地建议特朗普应该将苹果手机换为中国手机。

　　在报道中，BBC也“放下成见”，赞华春莹“幽默”（humorous）：

　　Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying gave a humorous response at a news conference on Thursday.

　　中国外交部发言人华春莹在25日的记者会上给出了一个非常幽默的回答。

　　文章还将华春莹的回应翻译了出来。大家来看看《纽约时报》是如何翻译外交官的机智回应的：

　　"Reading this report, I feel that today in the tplongin United States there really are some people who are doing their utmost to win best at the Oscars," she said.

　　And she suggested a handset from one of China's biggest phone manufacturers might be more secure.

　　"If they are really very worried about Apple phones being bugged, then they can change to using Huawei.

　　"If they are still not at ease, then in order to have an entirely secure device, they can stop using all forms of modern communication devices and cut off all ties with the outside world," she said.
