In their words
Please, internet, give me back an atmosphere where I can work quietly! I said years ago that I am not a prodigy; the result of deifying a person is that the higher you lift them, the harder they fall!
请互联网还我一片安安静静做事的氛围吧!几年前就说过我并非天才少女,神化一个人的结果就是捧得多高摔得多重!

For the sake of traffic, for the sake of exploiting self-media, please stop! Stop indiscriminately disturbing my family, friends, classmates, and even my middle school homeroom teacher. I just want to quietly do things that are difficult and right—that's all!
为了流量,为了消费的自媒体们,请收手吧!不要再无差别打扰我家人、朋友、同学乃至初高中班主任了,只想安安静静做难而正确的事情,仅此而已!

This submission to ACL is the output of my nearly one year of work, so I believe I have put in enough effort, though of course there may also be an element of luck.
这次投稿ACL是我近一年的产出,所以我认为自己是付出了足够的努力的,当然也可能也有运气成分加持。
