<p> </p>
<p>These 2 sentences are both grammartically perfect even though I don't quite <u>get the picture</u> of what "cleaner” actually means here for the lack of context. Anyway, I would <em><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffcc99">rather prefer</font></em> the 1st <font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffcc99"><em>than</em> </font>the 2nd one. The reason for this is the 2nd one is one single sentence which seems to be <em>too</em> long for the listenner, and the point of the statement is to try to tell the public in "....." but not whom he got interviewed. Therefore, 2 sentences is far better than one . The second one <u>put an emphasis</u> to clarify the main idea.</p>
<p>Moreover, this statement sounds like from a news reporter. If so, in ".........", I enjoy the 2nd one much better for a statement as a "big potato" only to be more polite to the public.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>这两句话从语法上都没问题，尽管因为缺乏上下文的内容，我不很确切“cleaner” 在中国场景下含义为何。然而， 我还是更喜欢第一句。原因是第二句（是一个单句）对听者有些太长了。而这一段话的重点是向公众说明括弧里的内容，谁采访了他只是次要的。所以分开两句话要比一个长句好。说第二句话时强调了中心表达的内容（心里话）。我认为这句话听起来像是新闻报道，那样的话，括弧里的话，我倒是更喜欢第二句中的，作为一个“大人物”向公众表态，比较中肯礼貌（the most dedicated)。</p>

<p>My advice might not be final. Other experts might be of better assistance to you, too.</p>

<p>Hope you enjoy your English research to better serve Old Beijing and other people.</p>

<p>Thanks. </p>
