Sister Lin, close your eyes and don't rush to look. In the operating room, Zheng Ren whispered.

Translate: "Lin JiaoJiao, close your eyes, don't rush to look." In the Operating Room, Zheng Ren said softly.

But need to keep quotes and punctuation? We'll translate Chinese quotes to English quotes? Usually we keep same punctuation.

The instruction: translate faithfully, not to keep Chinese punctuation? Usually we convert to English punctuation. But we can keep the Chinese quotes? Better to use English quotes. The source uses 「」. We'll translate to English quotes: "Lin JiaoJiao, close your eyes, don't rush to look." Then the rest.

Thus: 【1】 "Lin JiaoJiao, close your eyes, don't rush to look." In the Operating Room, Zheng Ren said softly.
