zhēnshì `` cǐdì wúyín sānbǎi liǎng" ! zhè lóushàng lóuxià nàme duō rén, zěnme jiùshì shuō nǐ ne?
There are so many people above and below us, what makes you think I was talking about you? This is just like the guy who buried three hundred pieces of silver and then left a sign saying, ``there is no silver buried here!"

Do you mean to suggest that I've got so much time on my hands that I put garbage on my own doorstep?

nà yě bù guān wǒmen de shìr! lóudào yòu bù shì nǐ yī jiā de! fàng dài lājī yě hěn zhèngcháng!
That's not our concern! The corridor is not just for you! Putting a bag outside is perfectly acceptable.

wǒ gàosu nǐ, mǎshàng gěi wǒ sī diào! wǒmen huódào zhè bǎ niánjì, hái méi bèi rén zhème qīfu guo!
I'm telling you, take this sign down right now. We've lived to this age and never been harassed like this before!
