Lu Xun's self-deprecating translation

What do you want from the delivery of the canopy, but you dare not turn over and meet each other.

How can you think of something satisfactory if you are unlucky? You can't even turn over in bed and hit your head against the wall.

A broken hat covers the downtown, and a leaky boat carries wine.

Therefore, when I go to the streets, I always cover my face with a broken hat, for fear of being seen and causing unexpected disasters. I am like the wine in a leaky boat, spinning in the rapids in the middle of the river, and I am in danger of being swallowed up by the river at any time. I can't escape bad luck!

Fierce-browed, I coolly defy a thousand pointing fingers, Head-bowed, like a willing ox I serve the children.

I am an annoying person. Many people accuse me, scold me and curse me. I should have died without illness, but I have to live as usual, with no frown, no sadness or anger. I am really shameless. I also know that I have no ambition and no ability, but I am really a loser. I am willing to play the old cow at home and let my children lead me and play with them.

Hiding in the small building into a unified, regardless of winter Xia Chunqiu.

However, I am timid when I curse anyone. As long as I have a small building where I can live, I will dominate the world if I hide in it, and I don't care about anything outside.

Not bad, huh?
