Wenjer,
I guess you just had to be there.
八股文也是有一定的旋律节拍的 Also you have to acknowledge that the anchor reading the script is topnotch.
咱们还是就此打住

李安最初也說無興趣拍《色、戒》，但是，現在不是很過癮嗎？從《河殤》、《大國崛起》，到《復興之路》，同是為一個時代作秀，竟一蟹不如一蟹。不過，如果沒有好東西，找李安也無用。

几十年不变，也难为撰稿人了
有人给我撰出这样的文稿，肯定删掉他的文章，宁可开天窗也不要这么言之无物。不过，也许有人办传媒宁可倒反过来，删掉言之有物的东西，留下空洞的东西。
By the way, Steven, do you know what it means by "knocking off into the air"? Hmm..., maybe this is a good KudoZ question.

当年要问基辛格博士“这皮蛋味道如何”，他也许只能说“Not bad". 现在要问RICE“味道如何”，她也许会说：”What the heck is that!"

新的说法很多, 但这种 delivery 听起来是很熟悉的.
是的, 帮领导做翻译难, 一半就卡在这儿。 就算你把这些个‘政治術語’搞得滚瓜烂熟，听的人是要长期熏陶才能似懂非懂的。 这种措词艺术，我们已经练了好几代人了，就象从宋代起流行的“裹小脚”，到了明清已登峰造极，连原本没有这传统的满族妇女也将此视为美德而争相效仿。同样是裹小脚的佳人中，各位可知要花多少心思才能真正称得上“三寸金莲”吗？

No, I never heard of that expression.
But I think it could mean to kill someone off, like the Mafia knocking a person off into non-existence.
Knock off could also be used in the situation where someone is retiring from doing something, for example, "I think I'll knock off for today."
Do you have more context on how it was used?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/knock%20off 22. knock off a. Informal. to cease activity, esp. work: to knock off at five every day. b. to stop doing something; quit: Knock it off or you'll get into a mess. c. Slang. to dispose of; finish. d. Slang. to murder; kill. e. Slang. to die. f. Slang. to get rid of; reduce. g. Slang. to disable or defeat. h. Slang. to commit a robbery at; steal from: The gang knocked off a gas station. i.

Wenjer,
I've mentioned the type of usages listed in a) and d)
c), e), and f) are also possibilities in my opinion. I think it depends on the context.

This satisfies my curiosity. I didn't know that it could mean so many different things.

Thanks, pk.
我是心有余而力不足. 这比看近两小时的 The First Emperor 还要难.
BTW, does anyone know the title of the music played leading into the conference? I tried searching for 解放军进行曲、运动员进行曲; but it was neither of these. I remember this piece customarily being played preceding the opening of big events like this. Yet I don't think I ever bothered to find out what the title of it was.
