The direct translation of "I hate us" should be "我恨我們自己", but, IMO, it is not really meant "hate" but more of "regret" or "remorse".

<p>Im trying to express these two sentences in Chinese well.
I feel there are many ways I could do this but I want it to sound authentically Chinese.</p>
<p>&quot;...,but I cannot help but love you&quot;
Or
&quot;...,but you will always be in my heart&quot;</p>
<p>The meaning of this one is self explanatory, but this next one is a little odd.</p>
<p>&quot;I hate us&quot;</p>
<p>This means a hate of mankind but in the sense that we, &quot;us&quot;, is mankind. If you are familiar with misanthropy this will make sense.</p>
<p>If you have any suggestions please help!</p>

I suggest posting the entire lyric. It is difficult to stick to the central theme through reading/translating piece by piece. Also, why not to show your efforts to draw better/pointed responses.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-03-09)

Im trying to express these two sentences in Chinese well.
I feel there are many ways I could do this but I want it to sound authentically Chinese.

"...,but I cannot help but love you"
Or
"...,but you will always be in my heart"

The meaning of this one is self explanatory, but this next one is a little odd.

"I hate us"

This means a hate of mankind but in the sense that we, "us", is mankind. If you are familiar with misanthropy this will make sense.

If you have any suggestions please help!

"I hate us" - 我恨人可惡 (I hate that people are abominable)

*The literal translation of "I hate us" is "我恨我們" But it is too ambiguous without the full context-- We cannot know the "us" here refers to the humankind in general or a specific group just by reading this line*
