The past years for wild friends
曾经我们将魔爪深入野生动物的领土
The new year for wild enemies
如今新型病毒肆虐我们的家园
Access, appear, abuzz, acclaim!
它们寻找途径,浮出水面,初出茅庐,终成大器!
Break traditional busyness
它们打破传统的忙碌
Claim modern silence
它们索要当代的静默
Desire for invasion, or human-deserved punishment?
它们觊觎入侵,还是本就是人类应得的惩罚?
Expect for antagonism, or nature-human mutualism?
它们渴望敌对,还是本应有的自然与人的互利共生?
And sit down now is The Chinese People
此时,中国人民坐了下来!
Fear not fail
他们惴惴不安而非一蹶不振
Guard not grieve
他们恪守不渝而非呼天抢地
Hasten not hustle
他们不假思索而非横冲直撞
Inform not ignore
他们漂流相告而非视而不见
Join not junk
他们齐心协力而非置之不理
Kiss not kick
他们疾病相扶而非排斥异己
And back here is The Chinese Government
此地还有中国政府
Lead not leave
大有作为而非落荒而逃
Make not mend
拔地而起而非亡羊补牢
Narrate not neglect
秉笔直书而非捕风捉影
Offer not overtax
振民育德而非竭泽而渔
Prepare not panic
厉兵秣马而非虚张声势
Quarantine not quieten
路绝人稀而非鸦默雀静
So is The International Community
国际社会也是如此
Reason not rant
明辨是非而非恶语相加
Support not settle
雪中送炭而非充耳不闻
Tackle not tangle
群策群力而非浑水摸鱼
Unite not untie
众志成城而非壁垒分明
Visit not vanish

From now on, listen, people in and out
当下,让我们
Xenophobia, say Goodbye

Your blood, say Thank you
让我们致敬天使的鲜血
Zoo and wild animals, say Hello
让我们问候久违的朋友!
