An expert in ancient Chinese translation, please help me translate Sima Qian's "Report to Ren". Thank you.

Say goodbye to Sima Qian, the servant who runs for others like an ox or a horse. A word of advice to Shao Qing: Not long ago, I was humiliated. Write to me, teach me to be cautious in dealing with people, and try to recommend talents to the emperor with my own conditions. This feeling is sincere. You seem to blame me for not taking your advice, but treating it as an ordinary secular mediocrity. In fact, I dare not do so. Please allow me to briefly state my humble opinion. I hope you don't blame me for not replying for a long time.

My ancestors did not make any special contribution to the emperor, and there was no privilege certificate given by the emperor to write the scarlet letter at home; Being a little Taishiling is just a person close to fortune tellers and witches. Originally, it was teased by the emperor as a plaything, and he was raised like a musician and a performer. No one in society respects it. If I break the law and get killed, it will be like nine hairs of Niu Yi. What's the difference between it and the death of a mole and an ant? People in society will not regard me as a person who died for honor. They just think I'm exhausted, guilty and unable to get away with it. As a result, I went to a dead end. Why do you say that? It is precisely because of the occupation and position I have been engaged in that I have come to this step. Yes, people always die. Some people die heavier than Mount Tai, while others die lighter than a feather. This is because the occasion of death is different. As a person, first, you should not humiliate your ancestors, second, you should not humiliate yourself, second, you should not humiliate others, second, you should not kneel down, second, you should not put on the clothes of criminals, second, you should not be whipped with instruments of torture, second, you should pull out your hair and use iron rings to le neck, second, you should destroy your skin and limbs, and finally, you should be humiliated by corruption. Book of rites? Qu Lishang said: "Doctor officials can be exempted from punishment if they break the law." This means that the dignity and integrity of scholars cannot but be encouraged. When the tiger was in the mountains, all the animals were shocked and scared. When it is locked in a cage and falls into a trap, it will wag its tail and eat. This is the result of deterring and restraining it for a long time. Therefore, even if you draw a circle on the ground as a prison, according to the situation, scholars are not willing to go in; Even if wooden warders are used to try cases, it is reasonable to say that everyone is unwilling to violate them. This is because scholars have made up their minds to commit suicide and are unwilling to be insulted. Nowadays, prisoners are wearing instruments of torture on their hands and feet, chains around their necks, bare skin, whipped and locked up in prison. At this time, I kowtowed as soon as I saw the jailer, and I was breathless with fear as soon as I saw the jailer. Why? This is the inevitable result of long-term implementation and control. Speaking of which, it's cheeky to say that you're not humiliated. How can such a person deserve respect? In addition, Zhou Wenwang, the leader of western governors, was also imprisoned in prison; Reese was the prime minister and died in five sentences; Huaiyin Hou was named King of Chu and was arrested in Chen. Peng Yue and Zhang Ao are kings of the south, but the prison is imprisoned in the trial of crimes; Zhou Bo put down the rebellion of Lv Hou's relatives, and his power exceeded five tyrants, but he was imprisoned in the invitation room; Wei Qi was a general, but he put on the clothes of sinners, the shackles around his neck, handcuffs and fetters. Ji Bu shaved his hair and sold it to Zhujiajian as a slave with iron instruments of torture; Guan Fu was insulted in the room. All these people went to princes and princes, and their fame spread to neighboring countries. When the crime was imminent and the law was imposed on them, they didn't make up their minds to commit suicide, so they went to prison. It's the same since ancient times. As long as you don't commit suicide as soon as possible, how can you not be insulted? It can be seen that a person's bravery or timidity is shown in different situations; A person's strength is shown in certain circumstances. This is a very clear truth, what's so surprising! People can't commit suicide before the French Open, so their ambitions are gradually exhausted. When they were flogged, they planned to die for honor. Isn't this a world of difference? The reason why ancient people were cautious about doctors' execution was probably for this reason.

According to people's reality, people who don't love life and hate death don't exist. They should miss their parents, their wives and children. As for those who are motivated by justice and truth to die, this is not the case. Of course, they have reason to ignore themselves and their families. Unfortunately for me now, my parents have passed away and I have no brothers. I live alone. Shao Qing, what do you think of my attitude towards my wife and children? Besides, a truly brave person doesn't have to die for honor. As long as a timid person admires honor, he should encourage himself in any small matter, and he doesn't have to die for honor. Although I admit that I am a timid person and want to drag out an ignoble existence, I also know the truth of sacrificing my life for righteousness. Why should I willingly endure the shame of being imprisoned? Besides, handmaids and concubines can still decide to commit suicide. Besides, I can't think about it. The reason why I submit to humiliation and don't refuse to live in prison is because what I want to do in my heart has not been completed. If I end my life in vain, my article will not be seen by future generations.

In ancient times, people who were rich and unknown could not remember. Only extraordinary people who are not bound by the secular can be known to future generations. Zhou Wenwang was detained, and the gossip was deduced into sixty-four hexagrams, which was written as Zhouyi; Zhong Ni had a rough life and wrote Spring and Autumn Annals. Qu Yuan wrote Li Sao when he was in exile. When Zuo Qiu was blind, Mandarin was passed down from generation to generation. When Sun Tzu was flogged, he compiled a book on the art of war. Lv Buwei was exiled to Shu, and Lu Lan was handed down to the world. Han Fei was imprisoned by Qin, and there were "unspeakable secrets" and "loneliness and anger" passed down from generation to generation; There are 300 poems, mostly for sages to express their grief and indignation. These people are depressed and unable to realize their ideals, so looking back on the past, I hope future people will understand their wishes. As for Zuo Qiu, he was blind and his grandson was flogged, but he was not valued by those in power. They no longer expressed their dissatisfaction by expressing their opinions and writing books, and wanted their works to be passed on to future generations to show their ideals and interests.

I am not humble. Recently, with the help of my poor writing, I collected scattered and lost documents in the world, made a little textual research on what my predecessors did, comprehensively studied the whole story of nuclear affairs, and investigated the law of success or failure in history. Since the beginning of XuanYuanShi, ten tables, twelve biographies, eight books, thirty families and seventy biographies have been written, with a total of 130 articles. I want to explore the relationship between nature and human society, find the similarities behind the complex phenomena of ancient and modern history, and realize my unique (historical) point of view. Cao Cao's creation has not been completely completed, but this disaster happened. I regret that the book has not been finished, so I accepted the heaviest punishment without resentment. If I really write this book, I can hide it in a famous mountain, pass it on to like-minded people, and even spread it widely to the society. I can make up for the time lost by being insulted and not dying. Even if I am punished more severely, do I still have regrets? But this matter can only be said to the wise, not to the average person.

It is really difficult for me to get along with crime, and people with humble status are often slandered by others. I suffered such a disaster because I defended the Li Mausoleum, and I was even laughed at by my fellow villagers, so that my ancestors were humiliated. How dare I go to my parents' cemetery again? Even after one hundred generations, the shame will only get worse! Therefore, my own heart is extremely painful and sad. I am in a trance at home, and I don't know where to go when I go out. Whenever I think of this humiliation, I always sweat on my back and my clothes are wet! I have become an official, and I am already a humble person. How can we imitate the sages and live in seclusion? Therefore, for the time being, I will go with the flow and deal with customs to suit my "madness" and "confusion". Now you are going to teach me to recommend wise men. Is it in conflict with my inner thoughts? Now even if I want to beautify myself and cover myself up with beautiful words, it will not be of any benefit to the secular society, nor will it gain the trust of the secular people. On the contrary, it only caused humiliation. In short, after a day of death, you can judge the right and wrong of your life. This letter can't fully express my thoughts, but simply state my shallow knowledge. Goodbye!
