我为了买一本心爱的画册
                wǒ wèi le mǎi yī běn xīn ài de huà cè
               
              
                可以几天只喝水 不吃饭
                kě yǐ jǐ tiān zhǐ hē shuǐ bù chī fàn
               
              
                我去外面写生
                wǒ qù wài miàn xiě shēng
               
              
              
              
                在山里转了五天
                zài shān lǐ zhuǎn le wǔ tiān
               
              
                只剩一口气
                zhǐ shèng yī kǒu qì
               
              
                我爬也爬回上海
                wǒ pá yě pá huí shàng hǎi
               
              
              
              
                把自己的日记交出来
                bǎ zì jǐ de rì jì jiāo chū lái
               
              
                不给自己留后路的人
                bù gěi zì jǐ liú hòu lù de rén
               
              
              
                所以我想你肯定不会在意那些
                suǒ yǐ wǒ xiǎng nǐ kěn dìng bú huì zài yì nèi xiē
               
              
              
              
                您是理解我的
                nín shì lǐ jiě wǒ de
               
              
                苏秀荣说她请你作报告
                sū xiù róng shuō tā qǐng nǐ zuò bào gào
               
              
              
                你应该知道我为什么拒绝
                nǐ yīng gāi zhī dào wǒ wèi shén me jù jué
               
              
         
        
        
        
              
                I'm someone who has faced
              
              
                life and death on the battlefield.
              
              
                I could go for days drinking only water
              
              
                and not eating
just to buy an art book I love.
              
              
                When I went out to sketch,
              
              
                I got lost.
              
              
                I got injured.
              
              
                And I wandered in the mountains
for 5 days,
              
              
                barely hanging on,
              
              
                yet I crawled my way back to Shanghai.
              
              
                I know.
              
              
                You're also someone who dared to
              
              
                hand over your diary
              
              
                without leaving yourself a way out.
              
              
                Yes.
              
              
                So I assume you definitely wouldn't mind
              
              
                those vulgar words,
              
              
                right?
              
              
                You understand me.
              
              
                Su Xiurong said
she invited you to give a talk,
              
              
                and you refused her.
              
              
                You should know why I refused.
              
              
                I know.
              
              
                I just want to tell you
              
              
                that Comrade Su is a kind person.
              
              
                What she did
              
              
                had no ill intent toward you.
              
              
                I know all that.
              
         
        
        
        
          
                
                  I'm someone who has faced
                
                
                  life and death on the battlefield.

                  迷了路
                  mí le lù
                
                
                  I got lost.
                
                
                  摔伤了
                  shuāi shāng le
                
                
                  I got injured.
                
                
                  在山里转了五天
