Chinese whispers

The reason for this is that the DNS systems work on a system with an analogy similar to Chinese whispers.

这样做的原因在于，DNS系统的工作机制采用了与“中国耳语”（Chinese whispers）游戏非常相似的形式。

A game of Chinese whispers has been doing the rounds this autumn.

今年秋季，有关中国人的谣传可谓甚嚣尘上。

Others are just downright myths, such as that the Great Wall of China can be seen from space and that caffeine is dehydrating. Many of the 'faux facts' date back generations and have become part of common folklore but are often based on rumour or as a result of Chinese whispers.

比如，从太空上可以看到中国的长城，咖啡因让人脱水。一些“假事实”来自代代相传的说法，其中一些说法转变成广为流传的民间传说，但它们经常都是从谣言或者以讹传讹的演变结果发展来的。

Or is there, as the Chinese whispers have it, a plot in Washington to keep the company out of the US market?

还是像中国传言所说的那样，这是华盛顿的阴谋，为的就是将华为拦在美国市场之外？

As far as intelligence goes, this is pretty thin gruel. In fact, it is the very definition of Chinese whispers.

就情报而言，这封电报的价值十分有限。实际上，它是典型的传言。
