《三国演义》“题词”

滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空。青山亦然在，几度夕阳红。

白发渔樵江渚上，惯看秋月春风。一壶浊酒喜相逢。古今多少事，都付笑谈中。

调寄《临江仙》 

On and on the Great River rolls,racing east,

Of proud and gallant heroes its white-tops leave no trace,

As right and wrong, pride and fall turn all at once unreal.

Yet ever the green hills stay

To blaze in the west-waning day.

 

Fishers and woodmen comb the rivers isles.

White-crowned, they've seen enough of spring and autumn tide

To make good company over the wine jar,

Where many a famed event

Provides their merriment
