I live in the basement corner of the city.
In others' eyes, I am a dog, and everyone looks down on me.
For a long time, I have been treated as the lowest citizen,
I am not qualified to go out; I can only stay in this basement day after day.
I hate the current rules; I hate myself.
I want to get out; I want to be a person or become an eagle.
I struggle to leave this terrible basement,
I've tried to climb out, but every time I reach the exit, I back down.
I hate myself for not being brave enough,
Finally, in an outburst, I crawled towards the exit, climbed the stairs, and ascended to the city streets.
Since birth, I've been in that basement,
I came to a world I had never seen before.
Unable to resist the joy in my heart, I am curious about everything outside.
Even a street lamp makes me feel the light,
I celebrate under that lamp like a child.
I feel that I am about to become a completely new person, completely free from the identity of a dog.
But I don't know where I should go,
I aimlessly climb forward like this,
Climbing through one street after another.
The cold wind here is exceptionally harsh, and the road ahead becomes more and more difficult.
After I don't know how long, I feel very tired,
I collapsed beside an iron railing.
My body seems to be stuck, but I'm too tired to struggle.
In the cold and fear, I reminisce about that basement,
Although simple, it was at least warm.
But I have come a long way,
I didn't expect that I can't go back anymore.
I didn't expect that shortly after,
I will be shivering in the pouring rain.
我生活在城市角落的地下室里。
在别人眼里我是条狗，所有人都投向我嫌弃的目光。
长期以来，我被对待为最下等公民，
我没有资格出去，我只能一天又一天待在这地下室。
我痛恨当前的规则，痛恨自己。
我想出去，我想做人，或者成为一只鹰。
我挣扎着离开这糟糕的地下室，
我尝试过爬出去，但每次到了出口我都退缩了。
我恨自己不够勇敢，
终于在一次爆发中，我爬向出口，我爬上了楼梯，爬上了城市的街道。
从出生以来，我就在那个地下室，
我来到一个我从来没见过的世界。
抵挡不住内心的喜悦，我对外面的一切都好奇。
一盏路灯都能让我感受到光明，
我像个孩子一样在那盏灯下庆祝。
我感觉我即将会成为一个全新的人，彻底摆脱狗的身份。
但我并不知道我应该去哪里，
我就这样漫无目的一直往前爬，
爬过了一个又一个街道。
这里的寒风异常的恶劣，前进的路越来越困难。
不知过了多久，我感觉到身体非常的疲惫，
我在一处铁栏杆旁累倒了。
我的身体似乎被卡住了，但我已经累的不想挣扎。
我在寒冷与恐惧中，回想起那个地下室，
虽然简陋但至少是温暖的。
可我已经走了很远很远了，
我没有想到我再也回不去了。
我也没有想到不久之后，
我将会在暴雨中瑟瑟发抖。
