WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Be quiet and go to sleep already, stop making a scene.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Caring through Scolding (责备式关怀)

In close Chinese relationships, caring for an intoxicated person is often accompanied by blunt scolding and calling them names like 'drunkard' rather than pure gentleness.
