孫權啊就請孔明入去後堂，擺酒嚟款待佢吖。
Sun Quan invited Kong Ming into the inner hall and set up a banquet to entertain him.
飲過幾巡酒，孫權就話嘞：
After drinking a few rounds, Sun Quan said:
曹操平生最憎恨嘅，就係呂布、劉表、袁紹、袁術、刘豫州同我噉幾個人唧。
||Liu Biao|Yuan Shao|Yuan Shu|
Cao Cao has always hated the likes of Lü Bu, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, and a few others like me.
而家幾位英雄已經消滅嘞，唯獨劉豫州同我仲喺處。
Now, several of these heroes have been eliminated, and only Liu Yu and I remain.
我點都唔能夠以整個東吳受制於人。
I cannot allow the entire Eastern Wu to be controlled by others.
我已經揸定主意，除咗劉豫州之外，再冇第個人能夠同我合作去對付曹操㗎喇。
I have already made up my mind, besides Liu Yuzhou, there is no one else who can cooperate with me to deal with Cao Cao.
不過，不過劉豫州剛剛先至打咗敗仗，又點有力量嚟擔當呢個咁艱難嘅責任呢？
however||
However, Liu Yuzhou has just suffered a defeat, how can he have the strength to take on such a difficult responsibility?
將軍，劉豫州雖然新近打咗敗仗，不過關雲長手下，仲有一萬精兵。
General|||
General, although Liu Yuzhou has recently suffered a defeat, Guan Yunchang still has ten thousand elite soldiers under his command.
劉琦率領嘅江夏戰士亦有一萬人。
The Jiangxia warriors led by Liu Qi also have ten thousand men.
而家，曹兵喺咁遠路嚟到係十分疲乏。
now|
Right now, Cao's troops are very fatigued after coming such a long way.
佢哋最近為咗要追趕劉豫州，一日一夜要行軍三百里。
They recently had to march three hundred miles in a day and a night to catch up with Liu Yuzhou.
呢種情形，就正如一支箭啊，射出嚟嘅時候任佢點猛都好，臨尾，就連薄薄嘅一幅紗布都射唔穿喇。
|||in the end|
This situation is just like an arrow; no matter how fierce it is when shot out, in the end, it can't even pierce through a thin piece of gauze.
何況佢哋都係北方人，唔識水戰。
Moreover, they are all northerners and do not know how to fight on water.
而荊州嘅民眾，係因為冇辦法先至歸順曹操嘅啫，佢哋嘅本心係唔願嘅。
The people of Jingzhou only submitted to Cao Cao because they had no other choice; their true intention was unwilling.
如果將軍你真係同劉豫州齊心合力，噉就一定能夠擊敗曹操。
If you, General, truly unite with Liu Yuzhou, then you will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao.
曹操一敗，必定撤退返去北方，而荊州同東吳嘅勢力，必定會強盛起嚟。
If Cao Cao is defeated, he will definitely retreat back to the north, and the forces of Jingzhou and Eastern Wu will surely become stronger.
噉天下嘅局面，就會形成鼎足三分嘅形勢啦嘛。
Then the situation in the world will form a tripartite division.
成功與失敗，全在今日，請將軍你決斷啦。
Success and failure all depend on today, please make your decision, General.
嘿呀，聽咗孔明呢一番說話，孫權嗰種高興法真係難以形容啊。
hey||
Hey, after hearing Kongming's words, Sun Quan's joy is truly hard to describe.
佢對孔明話喇：先生嘅說話使我頓開茅塞啊。
He told Kongming: Your words have enlightened me.
而家我明白晒嘞，我嘅主意已經揸定，亦冇乜嘢其他嘅顧慮喇。
Now I understand everything, my decision is made, and I have no other concerns.
我決定，立即商量起兵，一齊去消滅曹操。
I have decided to immediately discuss raising troops to eliminate Cao Cao.
於是孫權就叫魯肅將自己嘅意思傳達畀文武官員知道。
So Sun Quan called Lu Su to convey his intentions to the civil and military officials.
同時啊，送孔明去賓館住落休息。
at the same time|
At the same time, he sent Kong Ming to the guesthouse to rest.
張昭聽講孫權決定起兵嘞，即刻就去同大家商量話喇：
Zhang Zhao heard that Sun Quan had decided to raise troops, and immediately went to discuss it with everyone.
主公呢一趟係上咗孔明當喇！
The lord has now brought Kongming on board!
然後佢就同埋幾個謀士，急急去見孫權，佢話：
Then he hurriedly went to meet Sun Quan with a few strategists, and he said:
聽講主公要興兵去同曹操打仗，唔知主公有冇考慮過，你比起袁紹上嚟點啊？
I heard that the lord is planning to raise troops to fight Cao Cao. I wonder if the lord has considered how you compare to Yuan Shao?
當日，曹操兵微將寡，尚且一下就打垮袁紹咯。
that day||
Back then, Cao Cao had a small army and yet he easily defeated Yuan Shao.
何況今日曹操已經擁有百萬大軍，點可以輕敵啊？
Moreover, today Cao Cao already has a million strong army, how can we underestimate him?
如果聽咗諸葛亮嘅說話，隨便出兵呀，簡直係孭住啲柴去救火啊，實弊㗎！
If we listen to Zhuge Liang's words and casually send troops, it's like carrying firewood to put out a fire, it's a real disadvantage!
孫權聽咗，一味耷低頭唔出聲。
Sun Quan listened, lowering his head and remaining silent.
顧雍亦開聲話嘞：劉備因為畀曹操打敗咗，所以想借我哋江東嘅兵力，去頂住曹操啫嘛。
Gu Yong also spoke up: Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, so he wants to borrow our troops from Jiangdong to hold off Cao Cao.
點解主公要畀佢嚟利用呢？請主公聽子布嘅說話啦。
Why should the lord let him take advantage of us? Please listen to Zi Bu's words.
孫權有啲動搖嘞，但係決定唔落。
Sun Quan was a bit shaken, but he decided not to act.
張昭佢哋走咗之後，魯肅即刻入去見孫權話：
After Zhang Zhao and the others left, Lu Su immediately went in to see Sun Quan and said:
剛才張子布佢哋呢班人，實係又嚟勸主公唔好出兵定嘞。
Just now, Zhang Zibu and his group were indeed trying to persuade the lord not to go to war.
佢哋竭力主張投降，無非都係為自己一家大細打算，希望主公唔好聽佢哋講啊。
They are desperately advocating for surrender, all for the sake of their own family's interests, hoping the lord won't listen to them.
孫權唔出聲，仲喺度猶豫。
Sun Quan remained silent and was still hesitating.
魯肅又緊盯佢一句：主公你如果仲係唔揸定主意，就一定畀呢班人誤咗你啊。
Lu Su then urged him, saying: Lord, if you still don't make up your mind, you will definitely be misled by these people.
嗯，你出去先啦，等我好好地再想下。
hmm||
Hmm, you go out first, let me think about it properly.
孫權既然噉樣講嘞，魯肅就唯有告辭出去啦。
Since Sun Quan said that, Lu Su had no choice but to take his leave.
喺呢個時候，東吳嘅大小官員啊都議論紛紛。
At this time, the officials of Eastern Wu were all discussing among themselves.
喺武將當中呢，有啲仲係主張打嘅；但係文官方面就全部主張投降㗎嘞。
Among the military generals, some still advocated for fighting; but on the civil side, everyone was in favor of surrender.
孫權返返入去內室，個心啊亂糟糟，坐唔係企又唔係。
Sun Quan went back into the inner chamber, his mind was in chaos, unable to sit or stand.
打呢？定係投降呢？一時間都決定唔落啊，搞到食飯瞓覺都唔安樂。
Fight or surrender? I can't decide for a moment, making it hard to eat and sleep.
吳國太見到孫權噉樣就問佢喇：乜嘢事呀吓？乜搞到失魂落魄噉啊。
Lady Wu saw Sun Quan like this and asked him: What's the matter? Why do you look so lost?
孫權就話啦：而家，曹操嘅大軍駐扎喺江漢一帶，有意要吞併江南。
|now||
Sun Quan replied: Right now, Cao Cao's large army is stationed around Jianghan, intending to swallow up Jiangnan.
我召集啲文武官員嚟商量對策，有啲係主張投降，有啲係主張打。
I gathered the civil and military officials to discuss strategies; some advocate for surrender, while others advocate for fighting.
如果要打，又怕寡不敵眾；你話要投降咩，又怕曹操唔容得我噃。
If we fight, we fear being outnumbered; if we surrender, we worry that Cao Cao won't spare us.
因此，一直都猶豫不決啫。
therefore|
Therefore, I have been hesitant all along.
吳國太對孫權話嘞：
Lady Wu said to Sun Quan:
家姐逝世之前，曾經講過話你阿哥臨終嘅時候，就話落喇。
Before my sister passed away, she once said that when your brother was on his deathbed, he mentioned it.
內政有解決唔了嘅事就問張昭，對外嘅事解決唔了就問周瑜，而家你點解唔去請公瑾返嚟問下佢呢？
For internal affairs that cannot be resolved, ask Zhang Zhao; for external affairs that cannot be resolved, ask Zhou Yu. Why don't you invite Gong Jin back to ask him?
公瑾就係周瑜嘅別字咯。
Gong Jin is Zhou Yu's courtesy name.
真係一言驚醒夢中人啊，孫權好歡喜，即刻派人去鄱陽請周瑜返嚟商量。
It really is a wake-up call for someone in a dream; Sun Quan was very happy and immediately sent someone to Poyang to invite Zhou Yu back for discussion.
周瑜本來喺鄱陽湖訓練緊水軍。
Zhou Yu was originally training the navy at Poyang Lake.
佢接到消息，話曹操嘅大軍啊，已經嚟到漢上，就連忙趕返嚟柴桑郡要商量軍機大事。
When he received the news that Cao Cao's army had already arrived at Han, he hurried back to Chaisang County to discuss important military matters.
所以孫權嘅使者都未出發唧，周瑜就已經到埠嘞。
So before Sun Quan's messenger even set off, Zhou Yu had already arrived.
魯肅同周瑜係最好嘅朋友。
Lu Su and Zhou Yu were the best of friends.
魯肅第一個去迎接周瑜嘅，見咗面之後啊，就將最近呢幾日嘅事都講咗畀周瑜聽。
Lu Su was the first to greet Zhou Yu. After meeting, he told Zhou Yu about the recent events.
周瑜就安慰魯肅話喇：子敬你唔使擔心，我自有辦法，唔該你快啲去請孔明嚟啦。
Zhou Yu comforted Lu Su, saying: "Zijing, you don't need to worry, I have my own methods. Please quickly invite Kongming here."
好，我而家就去。魯肅即刻上馬就去請孔明。
okay||
"Alright, I will go now." Lu Su immediately mounted his horse to invite Kongming.
周瑜返到公館正話想休息下，張昭、顧雍、張紘、步騭呢四個人就嚟探訪佢。
|Zhang Zhao|Gu Yong|Zhang Hang|
When Zhou Yu returned to the residence, he was just thinking of resting when Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhang Hong, and Bu Zhi came to visit him.
周瑜請佢哋入嚟大堂裏便坐落，寒暄咗幾句，張昭就問嘞：
Zhou Yu invited them to sit in the main hall and after some pleasantries, Zhang Zhao asked:
都督知道江東最近嘅嚴重情形嘛？
Does the governor know about the serious situation in Jiangdong recently?
未知噃。
unknown right
I don't know.
目前，曹操率領百萬大軍，喺漢上駐扎啊。
currently||
Currently, Cao Cao is leading a million troops, stationed at Han.
前幾日派人送咗檄文嚟，約主公喺江夏會師。
A few days ago, he sent a messenger with a proclamation, inviting the lord to meet in Jiangxia.
雖然曹操對江東係有吞併嘅意思嘞，但係仲未曾露出跡象。
Although Cao Cao has the intention to annex Jiangdong, he has not yet shown any signs.
所以我哋就勸主公暫時投降曹操先，噉樣呢，江東就可以避免戰禍。
So we advised the lord to temporarily surrender to Cao Cao first, this way, Jiangdong can avoid the ravages of war.
點知道魯子敬去到江夏，請咗劉備嘅軍師諸葛亮返嚟。
Who would have thought that Lu Zijing went to Jiangxia and invited Liu Bei's strategist Zhuge Liang back.
諸葛亮為咗報佢哋自己嘅仇，講咗好多說話嚟到挑動主公起兵去打曹操啊。
Zhuge Liang, in order to take revenge for themselves, said a lot of things to incite the lord to raise troops to fight Cao Cao.
唉，子敬亦係話要打喎，執迷不悟。
sigh||stubborn and unrepentant
Alas, Zijing also said he wanted to fight, stubborn and unyielding.
而家，就係盼望都督你返嚟下個決斷喇。
now|
Now, we are just hoping that the governor will return to make the final decision.
你哋各位嘅意見係唔係都一樣嘅呢？
Are all of your opinions the same?
係啊，我哋都係一樣噉睇法㗎。
yeah|
Yes, we all have the same view.
我亦係一早就想投降㗎嘞，各位請返去先，我聽日一早去見主公，自然會有定論㗎喇。
I also wanted to surrender a long time ago. Everyone, please go back first. I will meet the lord early tomorrow, and there will naturally be a conclusion.
張昭佢哋四個聽咗放心，就告辭走嘞噃。
Zhang Zhao and the others felt relieved after hearing this, and then took their leave.
過咗一陣咁耐，程普、黃蓋、韓當呢一班戰將嚟到見周瑜嘞噃。
|Cheng Pu|Huang Gai|
After a while, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, the group of warriors, came to see Zhou Yu.
周瑜請佢哋入嚟，彼此問候過喇，程普就話：
Zhou Yu invited them in, and after exchanging greetings, Cheng Pu said:
都督，你知唔知啊，江東呀，就快屬於他人㗎喇。
Governor|||
Governor, do you know? Jiangdong is about to belong to someone else.
吓？唔知道噃。
huh|
Huh? I didn't know.
我哋自從跟隨孫將軍開基創業打天下，大大小小，打咗幾百場仗，先至打咗呢六郡城池返嚟。
|large and small||
Since we followed General Sun to establish our foundation and fight for the world, we have fought hundreds of battles, and only now have we taken back these six prefectures.
而家，主公聽咗嗰班謀士嘅說話，想要投降曹操喎，真係可恥到極，可惜到極啊！
now||||
Now, the lord has listened to those strategists and wants to surrender to Cao Cao, it's truly shameful to the extreme, so regrettable!
我哋寧肯死咗都唔肯丟呢個架！
We would rather die than give up this position!
希望都督無論如何，都要勸主公揸定主意出兵，我哋一定誓死戰鬥！
I hope the governor will persuade the lord to make a firm decision to send troops, we will definitely fight to the death!
各位將軍嘅意見，係唔係都相同啊？
Do all the generals have the same opinion?
黃蓋好激憤噉啪一聲企起身，用隻手拍住個頭話：我嘅頭可斷，誓不降曹！
Huang Gai, in a fit of anger, stood up and slapped his head, saying: My head can be cut off, but I will never surrender to Cao!
大家都跟住話喇：我哋誓不降曹啊！
Everyone followed and said: We will never surrender to Cao!
周瑜話：好極喇！我正係要同曹操決戰，點肯投降呢？
|very good||
Zhou Yu said: Great! I am just about to battle Cao Cao, how could I possibly surrender?
各位將軍請返去先啦，我見咗主公，自然有分數。
All the generals please go back first, I will naturally have a score to settle after seeing the lord.
於是程普佢哋就好滿意噉告辭走嘞。
So Cheng Pu and the others happily took their leave.
又過咗一陣，諸葛瑾、呂范等等一班文官啊，亦嚟到問候周瑜。
after a while|Zhuge Jin||
After a while, Zhuge Jin, Lu Fan, and a group of civil officials also came to greet Zhou Yu.
噉啊請佢哋入去坐落，行過禮，諸葛瑾就話：
So I invited them in to sit down, after exchanging pleasantries, Zhuge Jin said:
捨弟諸葛亮喺漢上嚟，話劉豫州想同東吳聯合起嚟打曹操。
My younger brother Zhuge Liang came from Han and said that Liu Yuzhou wants to unite with Eastern Wu to fight Cao Cao.
今日商量咗一日，都仲未曾決定落嚟。
We have discussed it for a whole day today, but we still haven't made a decision.
誒因為捨弟係使臣，所以我就唔敢講咁多咯，就等都督你嚟決定呢件事嘞。
Ah, because my younger brother is an envoy, I don't dare to say too much, so I'll leave it to you, the governor, to decide this matter.
照你睇誒點做好呢？
What do you think is the best way to handle this?
誒，投降呢，誒仲可以過下太平日子；誒打起嚟就好難保喇。
hey|||
Well, if we surrender, we can still live in peace; but if we fight, it will be very difficult to ensure our safety.
哈哈哈哈哈哈，我有辦法㗎喇，聽日，我哋一齊去見主公商量啦。
Hahaha, I have a plan! Tomorrow, let's go meet the lord together to discuss.
好，好，誒我哋告辭喇。
good||
Okay, okay, well, we take our leave now.
諸葛瑾佢哋啱啱走咗，呂蒙、甘寧一班人又嚟見周瑜嘞噃。
|Lu Meng|
Zhuge Jin and the others just left, and now Lu Meng and Gan Ning's group is here to see Zhou Yu.
亦係談論呢件事嘅，有啲話要打有啲話要投降，講下講下就爭論起嚟。
They are also discussing this matter, with some saying to fight and others saying to surrender, and it turned into an argument.
周瑜就話喇：而家唔使講咁多咯，聽日一齊去見主公嘅時候再商量啦。
Zhou Yu then said: There's no need to talk so much right now, let's discuss it again when we meet the lord tomorrow.
送走咗呢一班人之後，周瑜諗下諗下，忍唔住不歇咁冷笑啊。
After sending off this group of people, Zhou Yu thought for a while and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
到咗夜晚，魯肅就陪住孔明嚟拜會周瑜。
When night fell, Lu Su accompanied Kong Ming to visit Zhou Yu.
誒各位聽眾，呢次啊，乃係孔明同周瑜第一次見面。
hey everyone|this time|
Hey, listeners, this is the first meeting between Kong Ming and Zhou Yu.
你哋估下吖嗱，佢哋兩個嘅年紀啊邊個大呢？
Can you guess who is older between the two of them?
喺我哋睇過嘅戲曲裏便呢，就無論係京劇嘅群英會，或者粵劇嘅三氣周瑜啊，諸葛亮都係掛住長長嘅鬍鬚。
In the operas we have seen, whether it's the Peking opera 'Heroes Gathering' or the Cantonese opera 'Three Angers of Zhou Yu', Zhuge Liang is always depicted with a long beard.
而周瑜呢，相貌英俊，白面無鬚，睇個樣呀梗係諸葛亮老過周瑜定嘞。
As for Zhou Yu, he is handsome, with a fair face and no beard. Looking at him, it's obvious that Zhuge Liang is older than Zhou Yu.
其實唔係啊，呢啲只係戲曲藝術上嘅誇張。
Actually, that's not the case; this is just an exaggeration in the art of opera.
按照歷史嘅記載呢，周瑜係出生於公元一七五年，諸葛亮出生於公元一八一年，周瑜大過孔明六歲。
According to historical records, Zhou Yu was born in the year 175 AD, while Zhuge Liang was born in 181 AD, making Zhou Yu six years older than Kongming.
呢次孔明嚟到柴桑郡同周瑜第一次見面嘅時候，係建安十三年，即係公元二零八年。
The first time Kongming met Zhou Yu in Chaisang County was in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, which is the year 208 AD.
當時孔明係二十七歲，而周瑜呢，已經係三十三歲㗎喇。
At that time, Kongming was 27 years old, while Zhou Yu was already 33.
噉啊而家周瑜一聽見話孔明嚟到咯，就親自行出嚟中門迎接。
So now, as soon as Zhou Yu hears that Kong Ming has arrived, he personally comes out to greet him at the main gate.
入到去大廳，彼此行過禮，就分開賓主坐落。
entering the hall||
Upon entering the main hall, they exchange greetings and then sit down separately as host and guest.
魯肅啊先問周瑜話嘞：
Lu Su then asks Zhou Yu:
而家曹操帶兵南下想吞併江東，係和定係戰，主公仲揸唔定主意。
Now that Cao Cao is leading his troops south to swallow up Jiangdong, should we make peace or go to war? The lord still hasn't made up his mind.
全靠將軍你嚟決定嘞，唔知將軍你嘅意思點呢？
It's all up to you, General, to decide. I wonder what your thoughts are?
周瑜話：
Zhou Yu said:
曹操出兵係用天子嘅名義，要抵抗係唔合道理嘅。
Cao Cao is mobilizing troops in the name of the emperor, and it is unreasonable to resist.
而且佢嘅兵勢強大，係唔容易抵敵。
Moreover, his military strength is formidable, making it difficult to counter.
打就必敗；而投降呢，仲容易保全。
If we fight, we will surely lose; but if we surrender, it will be easier to preserve ourselves.
我已經決定嘞，聽日去見咗主公，就派使者去投降啦。
I have already made up my mind; tomorrow I will meet with the lord and send an envoy to surrender.
魯肅聽咗愕然啊，佢話：將軍你噉講就唔啱咯。
Lu Su was shocked when he heard this, and he said: General, what you said is not right.
江東嘅基業，已經傳咗三代喇，點能夠一下就唔要送咗畀人啊？
The foundation of Jiangdong has been passed down for three generations, how can we just give it away to others?
當年伯符臨死嘅時候，佢講過對外嘅事，都托付畀將軍。
When Ba Fu was dying back then, he entrusted all external affairs to the general.
當前，正係要依靠將軍你嚟保衛國家，點解你都附和嗰班懦夫嘅意見呢？
currently||
Currently, we need to rely on you, General, to defend the country, so why do you agree with those cowards?
江東六郡咁多老百姓，如果遭受到兵災橫禍，人人都會怨恨我㗎喇。
If the many common people in the six counties of Jiangdong suffer from war disasters, everyone will resent me.
故此我先至決心主張投降嘅啫。
That's why I decided to advocate for surrender.
噉就唔係噉講喇。
then it's not like that
That's not how it should be said.
有將軍你噉嘅英雄人物，又有東吳咁險要嘅地勢，曹操未必就能夠佔到便宜嘅。
With a general like you and the treacherous terrain of Eastern Wu, Cao Cao might not necessarily gain an advantage.
哈，你一言佢一語，魯肅同周瑜就爭論起嚟。
Ha||
Ha, with you saying one thing and him saying another, Lu Su and Zhou Yu started to argue.
孔明袖手旁觀，坐喺旁邊一味冷笑。
Kongming watched from the sidelines, sitting there and coldly laughing.
周瑜見到就問嘞：先生你笑咩呢？
Zhou Yu saw and asked: Sir, what are you laughing at?
嘿嘿，我唔係笑邊個，我係笑子敬不識時務唧。
hehe||
Hehe, I'm not laughing at anyone, I'm laughing at Zi Jing for being unaware of the situation.
魯肅急嘞喎：先生，你為咩嘢笑我不識時務啊？
|sir|
Lu Su was anxious: Sir, why are you laughing at me for being unaware of the situation?
公瑾決心要投降，係十分合理㗎。
Gong Jin's decision to surrender is very reasonable.
周瑜話嘞：係咯，孔明係識時務嘅人，一定係同我嘅睇法一樣嘅。
|that's right||
Zhou Yu said: Exactly, Kong Ming is a person who understands the situation, he must share my viewpoint.
魯肅真係有啲氣憤嘞，佢話：孔明，點解你都噉講呢？
||Kongming (Zhuge Liang)|
Lu Su is really a bit angry, he said: Kongming, why do you say that?
嘿嘿嘿嘿，子敬呀你聽我講啦，曹操係極善於用兵，天下冇人能夠抵擋得住佢嘅。
hehehehe|||
Hehehe, Zijing, listen to me, Cao Cao is extremely skilled in warfare, no one in the world can withstand him.
以前，亦只有呂布、袁紹、袁術、劉表佢哋敢同曹操對敵嘅啫。
in the past||Yuan Shao|Yuan Shu|
In the past, only Lü Bu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao dared to confront Cao Cao.
而家呢幾個人都畀曹操滅咗嘞，天下再冇人敢同佢對抗㗎喇。
Now these few have all been defeated by Cao Cao, and no one in the world dares to oppose him anymore.
就係，唯獨一個劉豫州，佢就真係不識時務，硬係要同曹操爭過。
that's right|||
Only Liu Yuzhou is truly unaware of the times and insists on competing with Cao Cao.
而家佢一個人趯到去江夏，生死都難保。
Right now he is alone in Jiangxia, and his life is hard to guarantee.
將軍你如果決心投降呢，就可以保全妻子兒女榮華富貴。
General, if you are determined to surrender, you can ensure the wealth and honor of your wife and children.
至於國家命運，就睇天意算咯，有咩咁可惜呢嚱？
As for the fate of the country, we will leave it to fate, what is there to regret?
嘩當堂激到魯肅呀吹鬚碌眼，佢鬧孔明話：咩話？你係要我主公喺國賊面前屈膝投降係嘛？
Wow, this really angered Lu Su, his beard bristled and his eyes bulged, he scolded Kongming saying: What? You want my lord to kneel and surrender before the traitor?
誒，我仲有個辦法，唔使牽羊擔酒，納土獻印，亦唔使親自過江去請求投降嘅。
hey||||
Hey, I still have a way, no need to lead sheep and carry wine, no need to offer land and seal, and no need to personally cross the river to request surrender.
只要派一個使者，用一隻小船，送兩個人去到江上。
Just send a messenger with a small boat to take two people to the river.
曹操一得到呢兩個人，百萬大軍，就全部卷旗卸甲撤退㗎喇。
Once Cao Cao receives these two people, his million-strong army will roll up their flags, take off their armor, and retreat.
周瑜一聽奇喇，請問先生，用邊兩個人可以使到曹操退兵呢？
When Zhou Yu heard this, he asked, 'Sir, which two people can make Cao Cao retreat?'
江東送咗呢兩個人去，就好似大樹飄咗兩片樹葉，糧倉少咗兩粒米啫。
Sending these two people from Jiangdong is like two leaves floating off a big tree; it’s just like losing two grains of rice from the granary.
而曹操得到佢兩個呢，就歡喜到極要走人㗎喇。
And when Cao Cao gets these two, he will be so happy that he will want to leave.
究竟係邊兩個人呢？
Which two people are they?
以前，我喺隆中嘅時候就聽講曹操喺漳河，新新起咗一座銅雀台，係極其壯麗嘅。
in the past|||
In the past, when I was in Longzhong, I heard that Cao Cao built a magnificent Copper Bird Terrace by the Zhang River.
佢仲喺天下各地啊，到處噉選咗一大批美女住喺裏便嚟添。
He also selected a large number of beautiful women from all over the world to live there.
曹操本來係個好色之徒，佢早就聽講江東喬公有兩個女，長女叫做大喬，次女叫做小喬。
Cao Cao was originally a lecher, and he had long heard that Qiao Gong from Jiangdong had two daughters, the elder named Da Qiao and the younger named Xiao Qiao.
佢兩個都係有沉魚落雁之容，閉月羞花之貌。
|beauty that can make the moon hide and flowers feel ashamed
Both of them had beauty that could make fish sink and birds fall, and their looks could make the moon hide and flowers blush.
曹操曾經發過誓，佢話：我平生第一個志願，係要掃平天下做皇帝；
Cao Cao once swore, saying: My first ambition in life is to conquer the world and become emperor;
第二個志願呢，係得到江東二喬，接佢哋喺銅雀台住，自己就快快樂樂，喺處度過晚年就死而無恨喇噉。
my second ambition is to obtain the two Qiao sisters from Jiangdong, to have them live in the Tongque Terrace, and to spend my old age happily before dying without regrets.
而家，曹操率領百萬之眾虎視江南，其實呀，不過係為咗呢兩個女子咋嘛。
now|||
Now, Cao Cao leads a million troops, eyeing the south of the Yangtze River, but in reality, it is just for these two women.
將軍呀，你點解唔去搵喬公嚟，使多幾個錢買咗呢兩個女子，派人將佢哋送畀曹操。
General|||
General, why don't you go find Qiao Gong and use some money to buy these two women, sending them to Cao Cao?
曹操得到呢兩個女子就稱心如意，一定班師回朝。
Once Cao Cao obtains these two women, he will be satisfied and definitely return home.
呢個乃係范蠡獻西施之計呀，我睇，將軍快啲噉做就啱嘞。
This is the plan of Fan Li to present Xi Shi. I think the general should do it quickly.
啊？先生話曹操想得到二喬，有乜嘢憑據呢？
Ah? What evidence does the gentleman have that Cao Cao wants to obtain the Two Qiaos?
有啊，曹操嘅細仔曹植，寫過一篇銅雀台賦。
yes||
There is evidence. Cao Cao's son, Cao Zhi, wrote an essay called 'The Copper Sparrow Terrace Ode'.
文章裏便嘅意思，就係話曹操應該做皇帝，一定要得到二喬噉嘅。
The meaning in the article is that Cao Cao should become emperor and must obtain the Two Qiaos.
呢一篇銅雀台賦，先生你記唔記得？
Do you remember this 'Copper Sparrow Terrace Ode', sir?
記得，因為佢呢一篇賦寫得文辭華美，我就背咗落嚟嘞。
remember||
I remember, because this piece of poetry is beautifully written, I memorized it.
誒，等我念幾句畀將軍你聽下呢。
hey|
Hey, let me recite a few lines for you, General.
於是孔明啊，就將銅雀台賦成段成段噉背出嚟。
So, Kongming began to recite the Copper Sparrow Terrace poem in segments.
當佢背到其中兩句：立雙台於左右兮，有玉龍與金鳳。攬二喬於東南兮，樂朝夕之與共。
When he recited these two lines: "Standing on both sides are the jade dragon and the golden phoenix. Embracing the two Qiaos in the southeast, enjoying the morning and evening together."
孔明用眼尾一掃周瑜，嘴角微微一笑。
Kongming glanced at Zhou Yu with the corner of his eye and smiled slightly.
嘩呀！周瑜嬲到成個跳起，離開座位，指住北便大聲噉鬧：
wow|||
Wow! Zhou Yu was so angry that he jumped up from his seat and pointed to the north, shouting loudly:
曹操老賊，你欺人太甚啊！
Cao Cao, you old thief, you are going too far!
真係唔嬲就瓦燒個咯，講得明明白白啦，甚至好露骨添。
If I wasn't angry, it would be like burning a tile, it's very clear and even quite explicit.
就係話要喺江東啊將二喬攞到返嚟，從朝到晚陪伴自己作樂啦嘛。
It's just saying that he wants to bring the two Qiaos back to Jiangdong to accompany him for fun from morning till night.
孔明即刻企起身勸周瑜話喇：將軍唔好咁嬲。
Kongming immediately stood up and advised Zhou Yu, saying: General, don't be so angry.
從前，匈奴侵犯邊疆，連漢朝天子，都肯送公主去和親咯。
once upon a time|||
Once upon a time, the Huns invaded the borders, and even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was willing to send his princess to make peace.
而家曹操所要嘅，不過係兩個民間女子啫，使乜咁可惜呢？
Now, all Cao Cao wants are just two common women, why make such a fuss?
先生你有所不知，大喬，係孫伯符將軍嘅主婦；小喬嘛，就係我嘅妻子！
|Big Qiao|||
Sir, you may not know, but Da Qiao is General Sun Ce's wife; and Xiao Qiao is my wife!
哎呀！我真係唔知道啊，剛才失口亂咁講，死罪，死罪！
oh no|||serious crime|serious crime
Oh dear! I really didn't know, I just spoke carelessly earlier, my apologies!
哈哈，孔明啊仲喺度詐諦喎。
haha|
Haha, Kongming is still pretending to be wise.
嘿！我同曹操老賊，誓不兩立！
Hey! I swear I will not coexist with that old thief Cao Cao!
誒，仲係請將軍三思，免至將來後悔啊。
hey||
Well, please think carefully, General, to avoid future regrets.
當初，伯符將後事托付畀我，我點肯屈膝投降曹操呢？
at that time||
At the beginning, when I was entrusted with the future by Bo Fu, how could I possibly kneel and surrender to Cao Cao?
剛才所講嘅說話，不過係想試探下先生你唧。
What I just said was merely to test you, sir.
我離開鄱陽湖嘅時候，就決心北伐，就算鋼刀擺喺條頸處，呢個決心都唔會變。
When I left Poyang Lake, I was determined to march north; even if a steel knife is at my neck, this determination will not change.
希望孔明你助我一臂之力，我哋一齊嚟擊敗曹操！
I hope Kongming you can lend me a helping hand, let's defeat Cao Cao together!
如果將軍唔嫌棄我，我一定效力，聽從將軍驅策。
If the general does not mind me, I will definitely serve and obey the general's commands.
噉，聽日去見主公商量出兵嘅事啦。
then|
Then, let's go meet the lord tomorrow to discuss the matter of deploying troops.
得喇，目的達到喇，孔明同魯肅辭別咗周瑜返扯嘞。
got it||
Alright, the goal has been achieved, Kongming and Lu Su bid farewell to Zhou Yu and returned.
第日一早，孫權升堂嘞，文武官員分開兩邊站立。
early the next day||
The next morning, Sun Quan ascended the hall, and the civil and military officials stood on both sides.
左便，係張昭、顧雍等等三十幾位文官；
Zuo Bian||
On the left side, there were more than thirty civil officials like Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong;
右便，係程普、黃蓋等等三十幾員武將。
on the right||
on the right side, there were more than thirty military generals like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.
大家衣冠齊整，十分威嚴。
Everyone was dressed neatly and looked very imposing.
大堂上便，一片肅穆，只係聽到寶劍同埋掛住喺身嚟嘅玉器啊，碰起上嚟嘅叮叮聲唧。
in the hall|||
In the great hall, there was a solemn atmosphere, only the sound of swords and the jade ornaments hanging from their bodies clinking could be heard.
過咗一陣，周瑜入嚟拜見孫權嘞。
After a while, Zhou Yu came in to pay his respects to Sun Quan.
行過禮，孫權講咗幾句慰問嘅說話之後，周瑜就問：
after exchanging greetings||
After exchanging greetings, Sun Quan said a few words of consolation, and then Zhou Yu asked:
最近曹操大軍壓境，派人送咗檄文嚟，唔知主公嘅尊意如何呢？
Recently, Cao Cao's army is pressing in, and he sent a proclamation. I wonder what your lordship's thoughts are on this?
孫權就將檄文攞畀周瑜睇。
Sun Quan then took the proclamation for Zhou Yu to see.
周瑜睇咗就笑起嚟話喇：哼哼，老賊以為我哋江東冇人，竟然噉樣嚟侮辱我哋吓。
|humph||
After reading it, Zhou Yu laughed and said: Hmph, the old thief thinks that there are no people in Jiangdong, and actually insults us like this.
孫權問：你嘅意思點呢？
Sun Quan asked: What do you mean by that?
主公有冇同各位文武官員商量過啊？
Have you discussed with the civil and military officials?
已經商量過好幾日嘞，有啲勸我投降，有啲又勸我抵抗。
We have discussed for several days, some advised me to surrender, while others advised me to resist.
我自己亦揸唔定主意，故此，想請公瑾你作個決斷。
|therefore|
I am also indecisive, therefore, I would like to ask you, Gongjin, to make a decision.
請問係邊啲人勸主公你投降呢？
May I ask who advised you to surrender?
張子布佢哋都係主張投降㗎。
Zhang Zibu and others are also in favor of surrender.
周瑜就問張昭嘞：請先生講一講主張投降嘅理由。
Zhou Yu asked Zhang Zhao: Please explain the reasons for advocating surrender.
張昭話：曹操以天子嘅名義嚟征討四方，最近又得咗荊州，威勢就越大咯。
Zhang Zhao said|||
Zhang Zhao said: Cao Cao is waging war in the name of the emperor, and recently he has taken Jingzhou, which has increased his power.
我哋江東可以憑藉嚟抵抗曹操嘅呢，係長江啫。
We in Jiangdong can only rely on the Yangtze River to resist Cao Cao.
之而家曹操擁有嘅戰艦何止千百啊，曹軍水陸並進，冇辦法抵擋嘅噃。
Currently, Cao Cao has more than a thousand warships, and the Cao army is advancing both by land and water, making it impossible to resist.
不如暫時投降先，以後再想辦法啦。
It would be better to temporarily surrender first and think of a way later.
周瑜話：呢啲正一係書呆子嘅意見！
Zhou Yu said: These are just the opinions of a bookworm!
江東自從開基創業以嚟，已經三代嘞，點能夠一下就掉咗佢呢？
Since the founding of Jiangdong, it has been three generations; how could we just lose it all at once?
孫權就問嘞噃：噉如果唔投降，又有咩好嘅辦法嚟對付曹操呢？
Sun Quan then asked: So if we don't surrender, what good methods do we have to deal with Cao Cao?
周瑜就講：曹操雖然名為漢朝丞相，實際上，係個漢朝奸賊！
||in reality|
Zhou Yu replied: Although Cao Cao is known as the Chancellor of the Han Dynasty, in reality, he is a traitor of the Han!
以將軍你嘅英雄才智，繼承父兄嘅基業，有江東做根據地，兵精糧足。
With your heroic talent as a general, inheriting the legacy of your father and brothers, and having Jiangdong as a base, with well-trained troops and sufficient supplies.
正係應該縱橫天下，為國家剷除奸賊，點解，反而要投降曹賊呢？
||why|
It should be about traversing the world, eliminating traitors for the country. Why then, should we surrender to Cao the traitor?
而且，曹操呢次南下，喺軍事上嚟睇，佢犯咗好多兵家之忌。
moreover|||
Moreover, this time Cao Cao is moving south, and from a military perspective, he has committed many taboos of warfare.
目前，北方仲未曾完全平定嘅。
currently|
Currently, the north has not yet been completely pacified.
馬騰、韓遂，就喺曹操嘅後方為患，而曹操呢，卻係經常喺南方作戰，呢個，係第一忌；
Ma Teng|Han Sui||||this|
Ma Teng and Han Sui are causing trouble behind Cao Cao, yet he is often fighting in the south; this is the first taboo.
北方嘅軍隊，唔熟悉水戰，而曹操偏偏唔使用馬匹，唔用陸軍，反而要用起船隻戰艦嚟同東吳較量，呢個，係佢嘅第二忌；
|||||this|
The northern troops are not familiar with naval battles, yet Cao Cao chooses not to use cavalry or land forces, but instead uses ships to compete with Eastern Wu; this is his second taboo.
而家，正係隆冬嚴寒季節，馬匹缺乏草料，呢個係第三忌；
now|||
Right now, it is the harsh winter season, and the horses lack fodder, this is the third taboo;
將中原地帶嘅兵卒，趕到嚟南方長途跋涉，不服水土，好多兵卒都生咗病，呢個係第四忌。
The soldiers from the Central Plains are being forced to march long distances to the south, not adapting to the local conditions, and many soldiers have fallen ill, this is the fourth taboo.
曹軍犯咗咁多兵家之忌，雖然人數眾多，亦非失敗不可！
The Cao army has committed so many military taboos, although they are numerous, it does not mean they cannot be defeated!
主公，你要生擒曹操，而家正係好機會啊。
Your Majesty||
My lord, you must capture Cao Cao alive, now is a great opportunity.
我請求主公你，准許我帶幾萬精兵進駐夏口，為主公你打敗曹操！
I request that you allow me to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to station at Xiakou to defeat Cao Cao for you!
孫權一聽周瑜呢一番說話，講得有道理，有勝利嘅信心，慷慨激昂，嗨呀，不禁精神振奮啊。
|||impassioned|oh|
When Sun Quan heard Zhou Yu's words, which were reasonable and filled with confidence for victory, he couldn't help but feel invigorated.
佢啪聲企起身嚟話：曹操老賊想篡位好耐㗎喇。
He stood up and said: "That old thief Cao Cao has wanted to usurp the throne for a long time."
佢就係怕袁紹、袁術、呂布、劉表同我唧。
|Yuan Shu|Lu Bu|
He is afraid of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lü Bu, Liu Biao, and me.
而家嗰幾位英雄已經消滅喇，唯獨我仲喺處。
Now those few heroes have already been eliminated, and I am the only one left.
我同老賊誓不兩立！你主張討伐曹操，合晒我嘅心意啊。
I swear I will not coexist with that old thief! Your proposal to attack Cao Cao is exactly what I want.
臣願為將軍決一血戰，萬死不辭，就係怕將軍你猶疑不定啫。
I am willing to fight to the death for the general, no matter how many times I die, I just fear that you, General, are hesitant.
孫權見周瑜噉講，就拔出寶劍，咵一聲，將面前嘅公案斬咗隻角。
When Sun Quan heard Zhou Yu say this, he drew his treasured sword, and with a slash, he cut off a corner of the table in front of him.
佢話：邊個敢再提投降曹操嘅，就好似呢張公案一樣！
He said: Whoever dares to mention surrendering to Cao Cao again, will end up like this table!
講完，就將呢一把寶劍賜畀周瑜，馬上封周瑜做大都督。
after speaking||
After saying this, he bestowed the sword upon Zhou Yu and immediately appointed him as the Grand Commander.
