萧强:大爷(英文翻译)

Big Guy (大爷)

Xiao Qiang (萧强)

Who’s in charge here?
I want to speak with him.

Tell me, whose lousy idea
Was all this?

We were just fine here in Beijing;
What are you doing, driving your tanks in here?

You’re Chinese, too!
Put down your guns, I’ll take you to Tiananmen for a look.

Please, put your guns down!
It’s just a bunch of kids over there.
