Why not use Google Translate? https://translate.google.ca/#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=zh-TW&text=If%20you%20are%20backward%20you%20will%20take%20a%20beating

Thanks for the comment. I am not sure whether it is the best way to translate properly.

It is not the best way, but at least proving you have done some research. If Google result seems odd to you, then you can post a question about particular parts of the translation and ask for clarification

That was my trying to ask the question. It was unable to me that just the translation was odd or not. That is why the question. I try to ask next question with better quality.

If you don't know any Chinese, just try to use this site as a free translation service, I am sorry, you can't do that according to the rule here. One more thing, the Google Translate result is an acceptable translation

Just out of curiosity I did a Google Translate of "If you are backward you will take a beating" and got "如果你落后的话，你会跳动"

I think, "落后就要挨打" is the best answer.

This was first said by Stalin, in 1931, but it has been widely cited in PRC. Deng Xiaoping also quoted.
