喺 二千 幾 年 前 ，中國 古代 有 一 位 好 勁 嘅 將軍 ，佢 叫做 韓信 。 in|2000|more than|years|ago|China|ancient|had|one|measure word for people|very|strong|possessive particle|general|he|was called|Han Xin Over two thousand years ago, there was a very powerful general in ancient China named Han Xin. 佢 嘅 本領 天下 第一 ，無 人 能 及 。 he|possessive particle|skill|world|number one|no|person|able|compare His skills were unmatched in the world. 而家 我 要 講 佢 細個 受 人 照顧 ，大個 報恩 嘅 故事 。 now|I|want|to tell|he|when he was young|received|people|care|when he grew up|repaying kindness|possessive particle|story Now I want to tell the story of how he was cared for as a child and how he repaid that kindness as an adult.

韓信 細個 好 窮 ，冇 錢 食飯 ，而且 佢 父母 好 早 過身 ，所以 平時 只 可以 乞 飯 食 。 Han Xin|when he was young|very|poor|no|money|eat|moreover|he|parents|very|early|passed away|so|usually|only|could|beg|rice|eat Han Xin was very poor as a child, had no money for food, and his parents passed away early, so he could only beg for food.

因為 佢 父母 好 早 就 死咗 ，佢 冇 人 可以 依靠 。 because|he|parents|very|early|already|died|he|has no|one|can|rely on Because his parents died very early, he had no one to rely on. 有 一 日 ，佢 去 咗 河邊 釣魚 ，諗 住 食 魚 充飢 。 there is|one|day|he|went|past tense marker|riverside|fishing|thought|to|eat|fish|satisfy hunger One day, he went to the riverside to fish, thinking of eating fish to satisfy his hunger. 喺 呢個 時候 ，佢 見到 一 位 洗衫 嘅 婆婆 。 at|this|time|he|saw|one|classifier for people|washing|possessive particle|grandmother At that moment, he saw an old lady washing clothes. 婆婆 見到 韓信 個 肚 餓 到 扁 晒 ，就 餵 佢 食飯 ，一連 幾十 日 都 係 噉 ，直到 婆婆 洗 晒 啲 衫 。 grandmother|saw|Han Xin|possessive particle|stomach|hungry|to the point of|flat|completely|then|feed|him|eat rice|continuously|several tens|days|all|were|like this|until|grandmother|wash|completely|plural particle|clothes The old lady saw that Han Xin's stomach was flat from hunger, so she fed him rice, and this continued for several dozen days until the old lady finished washing the clothes. 韓信 好 感動 ，佢 同 婆婆 講 ：「你 咁 照顧 我 ，將來 我 一定 會 好好 報答 你 。」 Han Xin|very|touched|he|with|grandmother|said|you|so|take care of|me|in the future|I|definitely|will|well|repay|you Han Xin was very touched, and he told the old lady: "You take such good care of me, I will definitely repay you well in the future." 婆婆 就 話 ：「我 請 你 食飯 ，係 因為 我 見 你 可憐 。 grandmother|then|said|I|treat|you|to eat|is|because|I|see|you|pitiful The grandmother said: "I invite you to eat because I see you are pitiful." 我 唔 需要 你 報答 我 ， 我 只 需要 你 努力 做人 。 」 ||||||||||to try|be a person I do not need you to repay me; I only need you to work hard to be a good person." 韓信 覺得 好 慚愧 。 Han Xin|felt|very|ashamed Han Xin felt very ashamed. 從此 ，韓信 認真 閱讀 兵書 ，練習 武藝 ，決心 要 做 一 個 有用 嘅 人 。 from then on|Han Xin|seriously|read|military book|practice|martial arts|determined|to|be|a|measure word|useful|possessive particle|person From then on, Han Xin seriously read military books, practiced martial arts, and was determined to become a useful person.

過 咗 一排 ，韓信 遇到 一 位 蝦蝦霸霸 嘅 少爺 。 past|completed action particle|period of time|Han Xin|encountered|one|measure word for people|arrogant|possessive particle|young master After a while, Han Xin encountered a young master who was very arrogant. 呢 位 少爺 話 ：「你 生到 牛高馬大 ，又 帶 刀 佩劍 ，其實 你 只係 一 個 冇膽鬼 。」 this|classifier for people|young master|said|you|born to be|strong and tall|also|carry|knife|sword|actually|you|only|one|classifier for people|coward This young master said: "You are tall and strong, and carry a sword, but in reality, you are just a coward." 之後 仲 當眾 侮辱 佢 ，話 ：「你 夠膽 就 一 劍 拮 死 我 ；唔夠膽 就 瓹 我 褲襠底 過去 啦 ！」 afterwards|still|in public|insulted|him|said|you|dare|then|one|sword|stab|kill|me|don't dare|then|wet|my|pants|go past|particle Then he publicly insulted him, saying: "If you have the guts, kill me with your sword; if you don't, just go and wet your pants!" 韓信 心諗 ：「如果 我 攞 劍 拮 佢 ，殺咗 人 就 要 坐監 。 Han Xin|thought|if|I|take|sword|fight|him|killed|person|then|have to|go to jail Han Xin thought to himself: "If I use my sword to kill him, I will have to go to jail for murder. 噉樣 做 好 唔抵 ，都係 唔 殺 佢 好啲 。」 like this|do|well|not worth it|still|not|kill|him|better It's not worth it to do that; it's better not to kill him." 之後 韓信 真係 瓹 佢 褲襠底 。 afterwards|Han Xin|really|hit|him|in the groin Then Han Xin really did wet his pants. 周圍 睇 熱鬧 嘅 人 都 笑 佢 細膽 。 around|see|lively|possessive particle|people|all|laugh|he|timid The people around were laughing at him for being timid.

後來 ，韓信 做 咗 劉邦 嘅 將軍 。 later|Han Xin|became|past tense marker|Liu Bang|possessive particle|general Later, Han Xin became Liu Bang's general. 當時 劉邦 只係 一 個 小王 ，冇 能力 統一 天下 。 at that time|Liu Bang|was only|one|measure word|small king|did not have|ability|unify|the world At that time, Liu Bang was just a small king, with no ability to unify the world. 劉邦 又 覺得 韓信 好 普通 ，所以 只係 畀 佢 做 個 小 將軍 。 Liu Bang|again|thought|Han Xin|very|ordinary|so|only|gave|him|make|a|small|general Liu Bang also thought Han Xin was quite ordinary, so he only made him a small general. 於是 有 一 晚 ，韓信 決定 離開 劉邦 。 so|there was|one|evening|Han Xin|decided|to leave|Liu Bang So one night, Han Xin decided to leave Liu Bang.

丞相 蕭何 知道 之後 ，就 即刻 騎馬 追 韓信 返嚟 。 Prime Minister|Xiao He|knew|afterwards|then|immediately|rode a horse|chased|Han Xin|back The Prime Minister, Xiao He, learned about it and immediately rode out to chase after Han Xin. 劉邦 知道 就 好 嬲 ：「逃走 嘅 將軍 有 幾十 個 ，點解 你 偏偏 要 追 韓信 ？」 Liu Bang|knows|then|very|angry|escape|possessive particle|general|has|several dozen|measure word|why|you|just|want|chase|Han Xin Liu Bang was very angry when he found out: "There are dozens of generals who have fled, why do you specifically want to chase Han Xin?" 蕭何 話 ：「如果 你 甘心 做 一 個 小王 ，你 可以 唔要 韓信 ；但 如果 你 要 一統天下 ，冇 韓信 你 就 做唔到 ！」 Xiao He|said|if|you|are willing to|be|one|a|minor king|you|can|not need|Han Xin|but|if|you|want|unify the world|without|Han Xin|you|then|cannot do it Xiao He said: "If you are willing to be a small king, you can do without Han Xin; but if you want to unify the world, you cannot do it without Han Xin!" 劉邦 知道 錯 在 自己 ，於是 封 咗 韓信 做 大將軍 。 Liu Bang|knew|wrong|at|himself|so|appointed|past tense marker|Han Xin|as|Grand General Liu Bang realized his mistake and then appointed Han Xin as the Grand General. 最終 ，喺 韓信 嘅 幫助 下 ，劉邦 成功 統一 天下 。 finally|at|Han Xin|possessive particle|help|under|Liu Bang|successfully|unified|the world In the end, with Han Xin's help, Liu Bang successfully unified the world.

韓信 功成 之後 ，始終 冇 忘記 當初 幫 佢 嘅 婆婆 。 Han Xin|achieved success|after|always|not|forget|initially|helped|him|possessive particle|grandmother After Han Xin achieved success, he never forgot the old lady who helped him at the beginning. 佢 返 鄉下 揾 返 嗰 位 婆婆 ，畀 咗 一千 兩 黃金 佢 ——呢個 就 係 成語 「一 飯 千金 」嘅 由來 。 he|return|countryside|find|return|that|classifier for people|grandmother|give|past tense marker|one thousand|taels|gold|her|this|just|is|idiom|one|meal|thousand gold pieces|possessive particle|origin He returned to his hometown to find that old lady and gave her a thousand taels of gold — this is the origin of the idiom "a meal worth a thousand gold pieces." 當然 ，韓信 都 冇 忘記 當初 想 害 佢 嗰 位 少爺 。 of course|Han Xin|also|didn't|forget|at first|wanted|harm|him|that|certain|young master Of course, Han Xin also did not forget the young master who wanted to harm him at the beginning. 嗰 位 少爺 見 返 韓信 ，知道 人哋 做 咗 大將軍 ，嚇 到 手震 腳震 ，咩 都 講唔到 。 that|classifier for people|young master|saw|back|Han Xin|knew|others|became|past tense marker|great general|scared|to|hands trembled|feet trembled|what|all|couldn't say When that young master saw Han Xin again, knowing that he had become a great general, he was so scared that his hands and feet trembled, unable to say anything. 點知 韓信 竟然 話 ：「雖然 你 當眾 羞辱 過 我 ，但 亦 因為 噉 ，我 至 識得 忍辱負重 ，仲 成就 咗 今日 嘅 我 。 who would have thought|Han Xin|unexpectedly|said|although|you|in public|humiliated|past|me|but|also|because|like that|I|only|learned to|endure humiliation for greater good|still|achieved|past tense marker|today|possessive particle|me Unexpectedly, Han Xin said: "Although you publicly humiliated me, it is also because of that, I learned to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, which has led to my achievements today." 所以 我 唔會 報仇 ，仲 會 以德報怨 ，畀 個 官 你 做 。」 so|I|will not|take revenge|still|will|repay hatred with kindness|give|a|official|you|do So I won't take revenge, and I will repay kindness with kindness, and let you be an official.

韓信 一生人 入面 ，影響 佢 最 大 嘅 有 三 個 人 ，分別 係 婆婆 、少爺 ，同埋 蕭何 。 Han Xin|whole life|inside|influence|him|most|big|possessive particle|have|three|measure word|people|respectively|are|grandmother|young master|and|Xiao He In Han Xin's life, the three people who had the greatest influence on him were his grandmother, the young master, and Xiao He. 如果 你 係 韓信 ？ if|you|are|Han Xin If you were Han Xin? 你 又 會 點 報答 佢哋 ？ you|again|will|how|repay|they How would you repay them?
