汉以策远修职贡，遣使者刘琬加锡命。	汉王朝因为孙策远在江东仍能坚守臣节按时供纳，就派使者刘琬前去给他颁诏封赐。	The court of the Han Dynasty sent the envoy Liu Wan to bestow on Sun Ce the title and presents for the observance of his position and continuous tributes even though he was in the remote areas.
琬语人曰：“吾观孙氏兄弟虽各才秀明达，然皆禄祚不终，惟中弟孝廉，形貌奇伟，骨体不恒，有大贵之表，年又最寿，尔试识之。”	刘琬对人说：“我看孙家兄弟几人虽都才华出众而深明事理，但都难以长享富贵，只有老二孙权，形象奇特伟岸，体格不同凡响，有大贵的骨相，寿命又最长，你不妨记住我所说的这些。”	Liu Wan commented to someone, “In my opinion, although the Sun brothers are all talented and insightful, they will not enjoy wealth and nobility for long except for the second brother of the filial and incorruptible man. He is singularly tall, with a powerful build, and an unusual physiognomy of great nobility, thus ensuring the longest lifespan. Remember my words.”

Sun Quan kept crying bitterly, so Zhang Zhao, chief historian under Sun Ce, reminded him with a warning, “Filial and incorruptible man, is this time for you to cry? Duke Zhou made laws, but his son Boqin did not observe them. It was not that he wanted to disobey his father, but simply the situation obliged him to. Moreover, today evil and cunning men are rivaling against each other, and jackals and wolves are holding sway. Now you express your sadness for the loss of your dear one, observing the rites — it is as if you are opening the door to invite robbers in. This behavior cannot be regarded as benevolent.”

The gallant and capable men under heaven were spread throughout the provinces and prefectures.

二十五年春正月，曹公薨，太子丕代为丞相魏王，改年为延康。	建安二十五年春正月，曹操去世，太子曹丕接替曹操做了丞相和魏王，改年号为延康。	In the spring of the first lunar month in the twenty-fifth year, Lord Cao was brought to his demise. Crown Prince Cao Pi acted as prime minister and king of the Wei Kingdom, and changed the title of the period to Yankang.
秋，魏将梅敷使张俭求见抚纳。南阳阴、酂、筑阳、山都、中庐五县民五千家来附。	当年秋天，魏将梅敷派张俭求见孙权希望得到安抚接纳。南阳郡的阴、酂、筑阳、山都、中庐五县的五千多户百姓前来归附孙权。	In the autumn, Mei Fu, general of the Wei Kingdom, sent his representative Zhang Jian to plead for an interview in hopes of obtaining condolence and acceptance. Five thousand families from the five counties of Yin, Zan, Zhuyang, Shandu and Zhonglu in Nanyang Prefecture became his loyal followers.
冬，魏嗣王称尊号，改元为黄初。	冬天，继任魏王曹丕称帝，改纪元为黄初。	In the winter, the successive king of the Wei Kingdom ascended to the imperial throne and changed the title of the period to Huangchu.

八月，城武昌，下令诸将曰：“夫存不忘亡，安必虑危，古之善教。	八月，孙权修筑武昌城，并下令诸将：“大凡生存时不忘死亡，安定时一定要考虑到危险，这是古人有益的教诲。	In the eighth lunar month, Sun Quan constructed the city of Wuchang and issued the decree to the generals: “It is an excellent ancient epigram that one should remain alert about death while in existence, and be aware of peril while in safety.
昔隽不疑汉之名臣，于安平之世而刀剑不离于身，盖君子之于武备，不可以已。	从前，隽不疑是汉代的名臣，在太平的日子里还刀剑从不离身，这说明君子对于军备，时刻不能有所松懈。	In the past, Jun Buyi, a well-known official in the Han Dynasty, always carried his sword even in the peaceful time. This means a superior man should not relax his military precaution at any time.
况今处身疆畔，豺狼交接，而可轻忽不思变难哉？	何况地处国家边沿，跟豺狼般的敌人为邻，又怎么可以掉以轻心而不考虑到突然的事变呢？	Moreover, we are in the border areas adjacent to the enemies like jackals and wolves. How can we relax our vigilance at any time against changes and disasters?
顷闻诸将出入，各尚谦约，不从人兵，甚非备虑爱身之谓。	近来我听说诸将出入时，都崇尚谦慎检束，不带士兵，可以说这是非常忽略武备宗旨及自身安全的做法。	Recently I heard that our generals all behaved in a modest and simple manner in their coming in and going out, and no bodyguards protected them. This manner ignores clearly the principles of proper precaution and the safe preservation of your own lives.
夫保己遗名，以安君亲，孰与危辱？	保全自身而留名后世，使君主和亲人安心，与可能遭受的危险羞辱相比，哪一种做法更为可取呢？	Which is more advisable, to safeguard your lives and leave your fame for later generations in order to put the monarch and your dear ones at ease, or to take the risk of being hurt and insulted?
宜深警戒，务崇其大，副孤意焉。”	应该特别警惕防备，务必提升对此重大问题的认识，以符合我的意愿。”	You should keep a constant vigilance, and promote your understanding of this importance while conforming to my concern.”
自魏文帝践阼，权使称籓，及遣于禁等还。	自从魏文帝曹丕受禅称帝，孙权派使者前去请求成为魏国的藩邦，并送于禁等人回去。	After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, Sun Quan sent his envoy to claim his identity of the vassal state and returned the captives Yu Jin et al.
十一月，策命权曰：“盖圣王之法，以德设爵，以功制禄；劳大者禄厚，德盛者礼丰。	十一月，曹丕策封孙权的文书上说：“圣明君主的法度，是根据德行设立不同的爵位，以功劳制定不同的俸禄；功劳大的俸禄就丰厚，德行高的礼遇就隆重。	In the eleventh lunar month, Cao Pi wrote the imperial edict to Sun Quan: “According to the laws prescribed by the sage kings, ranks of nobility were established on the basis of virtue, and emoluments were determined on the basis of achievements. Those with great achievements should receive substantial emoluments, and those with noble virtue should be treated with great respect.
故叔旦有夹辅之勋，太公有鹰扬之功，并启土宇，并受备物，所以表章元功，殊异贤哲也。	所以周公旦有辅佐武王、成王的功勋，姜太公有定计消灭殷商使周朝强大的业绩，因此一同受到分封土地的礼遇，得到整套礼器的赏赐，这是为了表彰功臣，使贤明睿智者获得不同于一般人的崇高荣誉。	Therefore, Uncle Dan had the meritorious accomplishments in assisting King Wu and King Cheng, and Grand Duke Jiang established his achievements with his wisdom and bravery in overthrowing the Yin Dynasty. Therefore, they were both enfeoffed with land and bestowed on a complete set of ritual implements to give commendation for their extraordinary deeds and to demonstrate their unusual distinction from other superior men and talents.
近汉高祖受命之初，分裂膏腴以王八姓，斯则前世之懿事，后王之元龟也。	近世汉高祖称帝时，也把肥沃的土地分封给八个异姓王，这是前代的美好举措，给后世帝王提供了很好的借鉴。	Later in the Han Dynasty, soon after the founding emperor ascended the throne, he divided the fertile land to present to the eight kings of different surnames. These were examples of the generosity of previous dynasties and the examples for the monarchs of later generations.
朕以不德，承运革命，君临万国，秉统天机，思齐先代，坐而待旦。	我本德行缺乏，却承受天命而变革汉室的皇统，统治全国，执掌国家机要，有心效法先代圣帝明王，为此忙碌而通宵达旦。	I, though lacking in noble virtue, have received the destiny of dynastic change, and I am ruling all the states and executing the imperial power. I am willing to follow the brilliant examples of the previous monarchs, therefore, I work busily day and night.
惟君天资忠亮，命世作佐，深睹历数，达见废兴，远遣行人，浮于潜汉。	您天资忠诚坚贞，治国雄才足以辅佐帝王，洞察帝王相承的次序，能明白透彻地预见汉废魏兴，从遥远的地方派遣使者，渡过潜水和汉水以表达您的诚意。	You are loyal and brilliant. Your talent suffices to assist the monarch. You have the insight into the succession of monarchs, and you have the foresight of the fall of the Han Empire and the rise of the Wei Empire. Therefore, you sent your envoy from the remote place to cross the Qian and Han Rivers, expressing your sincerity.
望风影附，抗疏称籓，兼纳纤缔南方之贡，普遣诸将来还本朝，忠肃内发，款诚外昭，信著金石，义盖山河，朕甚嘉焉。	得到消息便随即表示归附，上疏要做我魏朝的藩臣，并且敬献丝绸等南方贡物，把我的将领全部送回。忠诚恭敬发自内心，真诚精神显露无遗，信用铭刻金石，道义普盖山河，我很赞赏。	Upon learning the news, you immediately expressed your submission to my authority and presented a memorial to claim as my vassal state. At the same time, you offered silk and other products of the south as tributes, and repatriated all the captured generals and commanders to the capital. You are loyal and respectful on your own accord, and demonstrate your sincerity in fullness. Your faithfulness will be inscribed in bronze vessels and on stones, and your righteousness will extend widely over mountains and rivers. You have won my deep appreciation.
今封君为吴王，使使持节太常高平侯贞，授君玺绂策书、金虎符第一至第五左、竹使符第一至第十左，以大将军使持节督交州，领荆州牧事，锡君青土，苴以白茅，对扬朕命，以尹东夏。	现在封您为吴王，派使持节太常卿高平侯邢贞作为使者，授予您印玺、绶带、策封文书、金虎符左半第一到第五枚、竹使符左半第一到第十枚，命您以大将军使持节的身份都督交州，兼任荆州牧，赐给您青土，用白茅包裹，要报答称扬我的任命，治理好东部中国。	Therefore, I confer on you King of the Wu Kingdom.

This will appoint you as great general, an envoy with the imperial tallies to supervise Jiao Province, and concurrently the governor of Jing Province. I bestow on you the black soil wrapped in white cocongrass to requite you for your acceptance of my appointment, and for your effective execution of the administration in the east land of Xia.
其上故骠骑将军南昌侯印绶符策。今又加君九锡，其敬听后命。	要上缴过去封授您的骠骑将军、南昌侯的印玺、绶带、符节和策封文书。现在又加赐给你九锡之礼，请您敬听下面的命令。	It is a requirement that you should return the seals, the belts of honor, the imperial tallies and the certificates of the appointment of Valiant-cavalry General and Marquis of Nanchang bestowed on you before. Today in addition, I bestow on you the nine ritual implements. Please listen to my following announcement.

君宣导休风，怀柔百越，是用锡君朱户以居。	因为您倡导良好的社会风习，笼络安抚了百越夷民，所以赐给您有红色大门的房子居住。	It is because you advocate the simple harmonious customs and habits, and pacify the hundred Yue tribes that you are bestowed on a red gate for your living mansion.
君运其才谋，官方任贤，是用锡君纳陛以登。	因为您运用才干和谋略，任用贤良方正之士，所以赐给您‘纳陛’，以便登殿理事。	It is because you employ talents and your government recruits capable men that you are bestowed on *nabi* for your convenience when ascending the steps of the official hall.

君以忠肃为基，恭勤为德，是用锡君秬鬯一卣，圭瓒副焉。	因为您将忠诚恭敬视为做人的准则，把肃敬勤勉作为美好的品德，所以赐给您以黑黍和郁金香草酿造的美酒一罐，并配上玉制的酒杓。	It is because you regard loyalty and respect as the most important principles, and discretion and diligence as virtue that you are bestowed on an oval bronze pot of wine made of black broomcorn millet and fragrant grass matched with a jade ladle.

是岁，刘备帅军来伐，至巫山、秭归，使使诱导武陵蛮夷，假与印传，许之封赏。于是诸县及五溪民皆反为蜀。	这一年，刘备率军前来讨伐，到了巫山、秭归，另派使者去诱降武陵郡的夷民部落，权宜授予他们印信，许诺给他们封赏。于是各县及五溪一带的百姓都反吴归蜀。	This year, Liu Bei headed his army to launch an attack. When he arrived at Wushan and Zigui, he dispatched his envoys to lure the minority tribes in Wuling, bestowed on them counterfeited seals and certificates, and promised them with enfeoffment and rewards. As a result, the people in these counties and the Wuxi areas all rebelled and transferred their loyalties to Shu.
权以陆逊为督，督朱然、潘璋等以拒之。遣都尉赵咨使魏。	孙权任命陆逊为都督，率领朱然、潘璋等人迎击。派遣都尉赵咨出使魏国。	Sun Quan dispatched Lu Xun as the commander to lead Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang and many others to resist them, and he also sent garrison commander Zhao Zi as an envoy to the Wei Empire.
魏帝问曰：“吴王何等主也？”咨对曰：“聪明仁智，雄略之主也。”	魏文帝曹丕问赵咨：“吴王是个怎样的君主？”赵咨回答说：“他聪明仁爱又有智慧，是个有雄才大略的君主。“	The Wei emperor inquired, “What kind of master is the king of the Wu Kingdom?” Zhao Zi replied, “He is wise and benevolent, a master with great strategy."
帝问其状，咨曰：“纳鲁肃于凡品，是其聪也；拔吕蒙于行陈，是其明也；获于禁而不害，是其仁也；取荆州而兵不血刃，是其智也；据三州虎视于天下，是其雄也；屈身于陛下，是其略也。”	魏文帝问详情如何，赵咨说：“自世间常人中起用鲁肃，是他的聪明；从一般士兵中提拔吕蒙，是他的明智；获得了于禁而不加害，是他的仁爱；取得荆州而兵不血刃，是他的智慧；拥有三州虎视天下，是他的雄才；屈身向陛下称臣，是他的谋略。”	The emperor asked about the details, and Zhao Zi said, “It is his wisdom that made him select Lu Su from the common people. It is his sagacity that made him promote Lü Meng from an ordinary soldier. It is his benevolence that made him capture Yu Jin but inflict no harm. It is his intelligence that made him take over Jing Province without shedding blood. It is his great ambition that made him control three provinces while having the whole land in view like a tiger glaring at his prey, and it is his strategy that made him lower himself to your majesty.”
帝欲封权子登，权以登年幼，上书辞封，重遣西曹掾沈珩陈谢，并献方物。立登为王太子。	魏文帝还想封赏孙权的长子孙登，孙权以孙登年幼为理由，上书辞封，重新派遣西曹掾沈珩前去表示感谢，并献上地方的贡物。立孙登为吴王太子。	The emperor wanted to confer a title on Sun Deng, son of Sun Quan. Sun Quan thought Sun Deng was still a child so he sent a memorial to decline the conferment, and again dispatched Shen Heng, director of the West Department of the Prime Minister’s Office to express gratitude and present tributes of local products. After this, Sun Quan adopted Sun Deng as his crown prince.
黄武元年春正月，陆逊部将军宋谦等攻蜀五屯，皆破之，斩其将。	黄武元年正月，陆逊的部将宋谦等人攻打蜀国的五个屯营，都攻破了，并斩了蜀军守将。	In the spring of the first lunar month in the first year of the Huangwu Period, General Song Qian under Lu Xun and others attacked the five campsites of the Shu army, ruined them all and cut off the heads of the commanders.
三月，鄱阳言黄龙见。蜀军分据险地，前后五十余营，逊随轻重以兵应拒，自正月至闰月，大破之，临阵所斩及投兵降首数万人。刘备奔走，仅以身免。	三月，鄱阳说黄龙出现。蜀军分别占据险地，兵营前后相连达五十余个，陆逊根据情况用兵迎击，从正月到闰六月，大败蜀军，当阵斩杀及放下武器投降的蜀兵有好几万人。刘备逃跑，也就是幸而没有被杀或成为吴军俘虏而已。	In the third lunar month, Poyang County reported the appearance of a yellow dragon. The Shu army occupied different risky places, constructing over fifty campsites, and connecting them in succession. Lu Xun deployed his forces correspondingly to each of the sites in order to confront them from the first lunar month to the leap month of the sixth lunar month. They finally destroyed the enemy triumphantly, and several ten thousand soldiers were killed or surrendered in battle. Liu Bei escaped, managing only to keep himself alive.
初权外托事魏，而诚心不款。魏欲遣侍中辛毗、尚书桓阶往与盟誓，并征任子，权辞让不受。	当初，孙权表面上假托服事魏国，其实并非出自真心。魏国打算派侍中辛毗、尚书桓阶前往东吴与孙权结盟立誓，并征召孙权的儿子入朝做人质，孙权推辞不受。	At first Sun Quan pretended to serve the Wei Empire externally when in fact he had no sincere loyalty. The Wei court planned to dispatch Xin Pi, imperial attendant, and Huan Jie, minister of the Secretariat, to go to the Wu Kingdom and swear an alliance. At the same time, they went to summon Sun Quan’s son to the Wei court as a hostage, but Sun Quan declined this plan with some excuses.
秋九月，魏乃命曹休、张辽、臧霸出洞口，曹仁出濡须，曹真、夏侯尚、张郃、徐晃围南郡。	秋九月，魏国于是命令曹休、张辽、臧霸出兵洞口，曹仁出兵濡须坞，曹真、夏侯尚、张郃、徐晃围攻南郡。	In the autumn of the ninth lunar month, the Wei court ordered Cao Xiu, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba to attack Dongkou,and Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang, Zhang He and Xu Huang to surround Nan Prefecture.
权遣吕范等督五军，以舟军拒休等，诸葛瑾、潘璋、杨粲救南郡，朱桓以濡须督拒仁。	孙权派吕范等人都督五军，以水军抵御曹休等人，以诸葛瑾、潘璋、杨粲等人援救南郡，朱桓以濡须督的身份迎击曹仁。	Sun Quan dispatched Lü Fan et al. to direct the five armies to oppose Cao Xiu et al. with his navy, Zhuge Jin, Pan Zhang and Yang Can to rescue Nan Prefecture, and Zhu Huan as the superintendent of Ruxu to resist Cao Ren.
时扬、越蛮夷多未平集，内难未弭，故权卑辞上书，求自改厉，“若罪在难除，必不见置，当奉还土地民人，乞寄命交州，以终余年”。	当时扬、越夷民大多还没有平定，内患还没有消除，所以孙权言辞谦恭地上书魏文帝，请求准予改过自勉：“如果我的罪过难以除去，一定不能得到赦免，我理当奉还土地和人民，乞求寄身交州，了却余生。”	At this time, many of the rebellious minority tribes in the Yang and Yue areas had not been suppressed, and the internal troubles had not been solved. Consequently, Sun Quan humbly wrote a memorial to plead for a self-criticism and self-correction: “If my crimes can not be eliminated, and I can not be exempted for sure, then I have to return the land and people to you, and plead for a living in Jiao Province for the rest of my life.”
文帝报曰：“君生于扰攘之际，本有纵横之志，降身奉国，以享兹祚。	魏文帝回复说：“您生在天下大乱之际，本来就有纵横驰骋天下的大志，能屈身奉事魏国，长期享有福泽。	Emperor Wen replied: “You were born in the turbulent times, and naturally you should have a great ambition to become prominent in this world. Now you bend yourself to serve the Wei Empire, and you can enjoy this blessedness forever.
自君策名已来，贡献盈路。	自从您被策封为吴王以来，奉献的贡品摆满了道路。	Since you were bestowed with the noble title, your tributes have covered a long road.
讨备之功，国朝仰成。	讨伐刘备的功业，魏国是仰仗着您才取得成功。	The conquest of Liu Bei by the Wei Empire depended on you.
埋而掘之，古人之所耻。	像狐狸那样埋了又挖，反复不定，古人引以为耻。	It was a shame for ancient people to bury something and then dig it out like a fox.
朕之与君，大义已定，岂乐劳师远临江汉？	我跟您之间，君臣的名分已经确定，难道会乐于劳师动众远征江汉吗？	Between me and you, the righteous relations have been determined. Am I willing to dispatch my armies far to the areas of the Changjiang and the Han Rivers?
廊庙之议，王者所不得专；三公上君过失，皆有本末。	朝廷讨论军国大事，做君主的也不能独断专行；三公上表弹奏您的过失，都有根有据。	When the important imperial affairs are discussed at the court, even the emperor can not be domineering. The three dukes presented their memorials to criticize your faults, and they all had evidence.
朕以不明，虽有曾母投杼之疑，犹冀言者不信，以为国福。	我因为不贤明，虽有曾母投杼的疑虑，但还是希望所有传言都是不真实的，并以此为国家的幸事。	I am not wise, however, I have doubt. It is just like the story that repeated rumours caused Zengzi’s mother to put down her shuttle to escape. Still I wished that what they said was not true, and in that case, it was a blessing for the empire.
故先遣使者犒劳，又遣尚书、侍中践修前言，以定任子。	所以我先派使者前去犒劳，又派尚书、侍中来跟您继续重订先前的誓言，同时跟您商定送儿子来做人质。	Therefore, I dispatched the envoy to reward you with presents. Next I sent the minister of the Secretariat and the imperial attendant to renew our oaths, while to discuss the arrangement of your son to be sent here as a hostage.
君遂设辞，不欲使进，议者怪之。	您却借口推辞，不想让儿子前来，让朝中议论者都深感奇怪。	You found pretexts, and would not send your son over. The officials who were in discussion at the court thought it weird.
又前都尉浩周劝君遣子，乃实朝臣交谋，以此卜君，君果有辞，外引隗嚣遣子不终，内喻窦融守忠而已。	再者前都尉浩周劝你发送儿子，这实际上是大臣们共同的意见，以此来试探您的诚意如何，您果真找了借口推辞，对外援引隗嚣送儿子给光武帝做人质却终于背叛的事例，对内比喻窦融虽不送儿子做人质却能做到忠诚不渝。	Moreover, the ex-commander Hao Zhou persuaded you to send over your son, and this indeed was at the suggestion of the court officials. They used it to test your sincerity, and you found many excuses. Externally you cited the example that Wei Ao sent his son as a hostage but still betrayed the court; internally you quoted that Dou Rong did not send his son as the hostage but was still loyal.
世殊时异，人各有心。	世道和时代不同了，人们也会各有打算。	The time and the situation are different now, and people have different intentions.
浩周之还，口陈指麾，益令议者发明众嫌，终始之本，无所据杖，故遂俯仰从群臣议。	浩周回来后，连说带比划地转述了您的观点，越发让议事的大臣们发挥了原来的种种疑点，认为您所谓始终忠于魏国的承诺，没有任何凭据，所以我就只得同意了大臣们的意见。	After Hao Zhou returned, he gave an account with gestures, which further confirmed the doubt of the court officials. They could not find any evidence from beginning to prove your promise of loyalty to the Wei Empire. Therefore, I have to agree with the judgment of the officials.
今省上事，款诚深至，心用慨然，凄怆动容。	现在看了您所上的表，诚恳而深刻，内心为之感慨，以至于伤感动容。	Now I read your memorials, sincere and heart-stirring, and I am moved, feeling even sad.
即日下诏，敕令诸军但深沟高垒，不得妄进。	当日我就颁下诏书，命令各路军队只能深挖战壕，高筑壁垒，不得擅自往前推进。	I have ordered today that all the armies should construct high fortresses, dig deep trenches, and not act wantonly.
若君必效忠节，以解疑议，登身朝到，夕召兵还。此言之诚，有如大江！”	如果您一定要表现忠贞的节操，来解除众人对您的疑虑，那么人质孙登早上来到魏国京城，晚上我就下令让军队撤回。我这话的诚意，有如长江东去不会改变！”	If you give a definite expression of your loyalty to dissolve the doubt, when Sun Deng himself arrives here in the morning, I will summon the armies back in the evening. My sincerity, like the east flow of the Changjiang River, will remain unchanged!”
权遂改年，临江拒守。	孙权于是改了年号，沿长江布防以守备魏军的进攻。	Sun Quan immediately changed the title of the year, and had his armies guard along the Changjiang River.
冬十一月，大风，范等兵溺死者数千，余军还江南。	冬十一月，起了大风，吕范等部士兵落水溺死了好几千人，其余的军队就撤回了江南。	In the winter of the eleventh lunar month, there were big gales, and several thousand soldiers in Lü Fan’s troops were drowned, while the rest of the army returned to the south of the Changjiang River.
曹休使臧霸以轻船五百、敢死万人袭攻徐陵，烧攻城车，杀略数千人。	曹休派臧霸率轻便战船五百艘、敢死队一万人偷袭徐陵，烧掉了攻城车，杀戮掳掠了几千人。	Cao Xiu ordered Zang Ba to lead five hundred light boats, and the dare-to-die corps of ten thousand soldiers to attack Xuling. They burnt the city-assaulting vehicles, and killed and captured several thousand soldiers.
将军全琮、徐盛追斩魏将尹卢，杀获数百。	将军全琮、徐盛追斩了魏将尹卢，斩杀及俘获达几百人。	Generals Quan Cong and Xu Sheng chased after and cut off the head of Yin Lu, a general of the Wei Empire, and killed and captured several hundred.
十二月，权使太中大夫郑泉聘刘备于白帝，始复通也。	十二月，孙权派太中大夫郑泉到白帝城交好刘备，吴、蜀两国又开始恢复关系。	In the twelfth lunar month, Sun Quan sent Zheng Quan, senior imperial advisor, to visit Liu Bei at Baidi Town, and the two sides resumed their relations.
然犹与魏文帝相往来，至后年乃绝。	然而孙权与魏文帝之间仍有使者相互往来，到第二年才正式断交。	But Sun Quan still kept his relations with Emperor Wen of the Wei Empire, not severing it until the next year.
是岁改夷陵为西陵。	这一年孙权将夷陵改名为西陵。	This year the name of Yiling was changed to Xiling.
二年春正月，曹真分军据江陵中州。	黄武二年春正月，曹真分出一支人马占据江陵中州。	In the spring of the first lunar month in the second year, Cao Zhen divided a part of his troops to be stationed at Zhongzhou of Jiangling.

五年春，令曰：“军兴日久，民离农畔，父子夫妇，不能相恤，孤甚愍之。今北虏缩窜，方外无事，其下州郡，有以宽息。”	黄武五年春，孙权下令说：“战争已经打了很多年了，百姓们离乡背井而荒废了农桑，父子夫妇分离，不能够相互体贴照顾，我很同情他们。如今北方之敌已经缩回老巢，边境已无战事，特此下令州郡，对百姓采取宽容安息的政策。”	In the spring of the fifth year, Sun Quan issued an edict: “The warfare has protracted too long. People left their homes, agricultural production ceased, fathers and sons could not take care of themselves, and husbands and wives could not take care of each other. I have profound sympathy for them. Now the northern enemy has retreated, and tranquility has returned to the border areas again. Therefore, the provinces and prefectures are ordered to take benevolent and pacifying policies towards common people.”
是时陆逊以所在少谷，表令诸将增广农亩。	这时陆逊因为驻守的地方缺粮，上表请求孙权让诸将广开农田。	At this time, owing to the lack of grain, Lu Xun sent a memorial requesting permission to let each army open up more fields.
权报曰：“甚善。今孤父子亲自受田，车中八牛以为四耦，虽未及古人，亦欲与众均等其劳也。”	孙权答复说：“非常好。现在我们父子亲自接受一份农田，车府中的八头牛去拉四张犁耕种，虽然赶不上古代圣贤君主，我也想与大家同等地劳动。”	Sun Quan replied, “Excellent! Now, my son and I will accept a plot, and the eight cattle in the stable can pull four ploughs.

又云：“忠谠之言，不能极陈，求容小臣，数以利闻。”	又说：“忠臣正直之言，不能一一陈述，谄媚求容的小人，会经常在您面前灌输唯利是图的观点。”	Furthermore, he said, “Loyal and sincere words cannot reach your ears exactly, and the flattering inferior men around you may continue the conveyance of venal ideas.”
权报曰：“夫法令之设，欲以遏恶防邪，儆戒未然也，焉得不有刑罚以威小人乎？	孙权回复说：“大凡法令的设置，就是要用来防止邪恶，以防患于未然的，怎么可能不设置刑罚以威服小人呢？	Sun Quan replied, “The laws are established to prevent evils and suppress vices. Warnings and precautions are announced to safeguard against possible disasters. How can we give up the penalties that serve as deterrent for the inferior men?
此为先令后诛，不欲使有犯者耳。	这是先有法令约束然后才依法制裁，不想有人犯罪罢了。	This means the laws are enacted before the penalties, and are intended to prevent violators.
君以为太重者，孤亦何利其然，但不得已而为之耳。	你认为刑罚太重的部分，对我又有什么好处？只是不得已才这样去做罢了。	You think the laws are severe, but what benefits can I receive from them? We have no alternative.
今承来意，当重咨谋，务从其可。	现在接受你的意见，当重新讨论斟酌，务必使法令趋于合理适当。	I now accept your suggestion. We will discuss them again, and make sure the laws are rational and appropriate.
且近臣有尽规之谏，亲戚有补察之箴，所以匡君正主明忠信也。	况且亲近的大臣应竭力谏诤，亲戚也应有补过误察得失的建议，从而匡正君主的过失并表明自己的忠诚信实。	"Moreover, the close subordinates are obliged to offer advice, and the close relatives should give suggestions for correcting mistakes. These are the ways they demonstrate their loyalty and faithfulness when correcting the mistakes of the monarch."
《书》载‘予违汝弼，汝无面从’，孤岂不乐忠言以自裨补邪？	《尚书》载‘我有过失你应纠正，你不得当面顺从’，我难道不愿意听取忠实诚恳的话来弥补自己的欠缺吗？	"The Book of History recorded: ‘I have a mistake, and you correct it. You should not be submissive in front of me.’ Am I not willing to listen to the loyal advice which will compensate me for my loss?"
而云‘不敢极陈’，何得为忠谠哉？	而你却说‘不敢尽力上言’，这又怎能算是忠诚正直呢？	"You said ‘dare not speak clearly’, but how can this be considered loyalty and straightforwardness?"
若小臣之中，有可纳用者，宁得以人废言而不采择乎？	如果地位低下的臣民中，有可采纳的意见，难道也因人废言而不予采纳么？	"If among the people in low social position are adoptable suggestions, would we rather refuse to accept them simply because of their low social status?"
但谄媚取容，虽暗亦所明识也。	只要是奉承讨好自求安身的行径，我虽愚昧倒也能识别清楚。	"As to the words of flatterers and self-interest seekers, I can distinguish them clearly, even though I am not wise."
至于发调者，徒以天下未定，事以众济。	至于征发户税的问题，只是因为天下还没有平定，事业必须靠众人的扶持才能成功。	"As far as the collection of the household tax is concerned, it is only because the land under heaven has not been settled in peace, and success of the cause relies on the support of people."
若徒守江东，修崇宽政，兵自足用，复用多为？	如果只是守住江东，用心推行宽大和缓的政策就行了，兵力也自然足用，要那么多又有什么用处？	"If we only defend the east areas of the Changjiang River and adopt the benevolent policy, the number of soldiers now suffice for self defense. In that case, what is the use of maintaining more troops?"
顾坐自守可陋耳。	只是固守江东而不思进取，难免要遭人鄙薄罢了。	"We will be destroyed if we restrict ourselves to self-defense in the eastern areas of the Changjiang River."
若不豫调，恐临时未可便用也。	如果不预先征收户税，恐怕临时征用就不那么容易了。	"If there is no advance collection of the household taxes, I am afraid it will not be easy to collect it when we are in times of need."
又孤与君分义特异，荣戚实同，来表云不敢随众容身苟免，此实甘心所望于君也。	再者我跟你名分虽然有别，但荣辱悲喜实在是一样的，您来表中说不敢与众人一样苟安容身以求免祸，这确实是我真心希望你所做的。	"Although you and I are greatly separated in terms of social status, we share the same feeling of honor and sorrow. You say in your letter that you dare not seek personal safety in order to avoid disaster as common people do. This is indeed what I expect you to do."
于是令有司尽写科条，使郎中褚逢赍以就逊及诸葛瑾，意所不安，令损益之。	于是孙权便下令有关部门写出全部的法令条款，派郎中褚逢带去送给陆逊和诸葛瑾过目，觉得有所不妥之处，就让他们增删修改。	After this speech, he ordered the relevant department to copy all the law entries and asked Zhu Feng, imperial secretary, to send them to Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin for their possible addition or deletion as they would deem appropriate.

Sun Quan divided the land evenly between Wu and Shu: Yu, Qing, Xu and You Provinces belonged to the Wu Empire, Yan, Ji, Bing and Liang Provinces belonged to the Shu Empire, and the land of Si Province under the direct jurisdiction of the central government was divided with the Hangu Pass as the dividing line.
造为盟曰：“天降丧乱，皇纲失叙，逆臣乘衅，劫夺国柄，始于董卓，终于曹操，穷凶极恶，以覆四海，至令九州幅裂，普天无统，民神痛怨，靡所止戾。	制定盟书说：“上天降下祸乱，汉室的皇统丧失常规，叛逆之臣伺机而动，明抢暗夺国家大权，这种情况从董卓开始，到曹操结束，他们穷凶极恶，颠覆天下，致使中国四分五裂，普天之下不得正统，神与人怀痛含怨，没有一天得到过安定。	"The two sides wrote down an oath of alliance: “Heaven befalls disasters and troubles. The rule of the Han Dynasty lost its regular succession. The rebellious subjects seized this opportunity to usurp the imperial power. Dong Zhuo took the initiative, and Cao Cao closed the rear. They were so ferocious and villainous that they caused turbulence throughout the land. As a result, a land of nine provinces has been split apart. There is not a unified government. People and deities all suffer from pains and grumble endless complaints, and there is never a day of peace."
及操子丕，桀逆遗丑，荐作奸回，偷取天位。	到了曹操的儿子曹丕，凶暴忤逆而步其后尘，奸险邪僻并屡次作恶，终于窃取了天子之位。	"Cao Pi, son of Cao Cao, was ferocious and rebellious, and followed the footsteps of his father. He was villainous, committed felonies, and in the end usurped the imperial throne."
而叡么麽，寻丕凶迹，阻兵盗土，未伏厥诛。	曹叡这个微不足道的小丑，重蹈曹丕的恶行劣迹，倚仗兵力窃据国土，至今未能伏法就诛。	"Cao Rui, an insignificant clown, continued Cao Pi’s ferocious traits, relied on his military power and protracted usurpation of the imperial throne. Up to now, he has not been caught or eliminated."
昔共工乱象而高辛行师，三苗干度而虞舜征焉。	从前共工作乱而被唐尧兴师问罪，三苗违法而被虞舜征讨。	"Old Gonggong caused turbulence, and Gaoxin led the army to conquer him. The Sanmiao tribes were not submissive, and Yu Shun engaged them in battles."
今日灭叡，禽其徒党，非汉与吴，将复谁在？	如今消灭曹叡，将逆党一网打尽，不是蜀汉和东吴，还有谁能承担这样的重任？	"Today, except for the Han and Wu Empires, which other countries could eliminate Cao Rui and capture his clique?"
夫讨恶剪暴，必声其罪，宜先分裂，夺其土地，使士民之心，各知所归。	凡是讨伐凶恶消灭残暴，一定要声讨他们的罪行，应该先分裂其疆域，夺取他的土地，让广大人民的心灵，都能明确自己的归属。	"For the purpose of eliminating the villains and brutes, we need to first announce their crimes, deprive of and divide their land, and let officials and people understand whom they should attach themselves to."
是以《春秋》晋侯伐卫，先分其田以畀宋人，斯其义也。	所以《春秋》记载晋文公讨伐卫国，首先是把卫国的田地分给宋人，就是这个道理。	"That is why in The Spring and Autumn Annals before Lord Wen of Jin State went for his conquest of Wei State, he divided its land and gave it to the people of Song State."
且古建大事，必先盟誓，故《周礼》有司盟之官，《尚书》有告誓之文，汉之与吴，虽信由中，然分土裂境，宜有盟约。	而且古人图谋大事，一定要先结盟立誓，所以《周礼》有主管盟誓及其礼仪的专门职官，《尚书》有‘诰’‘誓’一类反映结盟立誓的文章，蜀汉与东吴，虽然信义发自内心，但是分割魏国的疆土，还是应当有盟誓约定。	"Moreover, it is an ancient tradition that engagement in an important undertaking must have a ceremony with an oath of alliance. Therefore, in The Zhou Book of Rites, there are ceremonial officials of alliance formation, and in The Book of History there are documents of oaths and announcements. Although Han and Wu both trust each other from the bottom of their hearts, it is necessary to have a properly signed treaty of alliance in regards to the division of the land of the Wei Empire."
诸葛丞相德威远著，翼戴本国，典戎在外，信感阴阳，诚动天地，重复结盟，广诚约誓，使东西士民咸共闻知。	诸葛丞相以德行威，盛名远播，辅助拥戴本国君主，在外主持军国大事，道义感动人神，忠诚震撼天地，重新缔结两国盟好，推广诚信约定誓言，使东吴和西蜀的人民都能全部知晓。	"Prime Minster Zhuge Liang is well-known far and wide for his virtuous influence. He assists and supports the emperor of his empire, leading the armies at the front. His faithfulness moves people and deities, and his sincerity impresses heaven and earth. Reconfirmation of our alliance will promote our mutual trust, reiterate our oaths, and let all officials and people in the east and the west land know it."
故立坛杀牲，昭告神明，再歃加书，副之天府。	所以设立祭坛而宰杀祭牲，明确地告知神明，再度歃血盟誓，把盟约副本藏在朝廷御库。	"Therefore, we establish the altar and sacrifice animals, pray to deities and spirits, smear the blood of oath on our lips as the token of alliance, and hoard the copies of oaths of alliance in the imperial treasuries."
天高听下，灵威棐谌，司慎司盟，群神群祀，莫不临之。	上天虽远也能听到下民的心愿，神灵的威力必定帮助诚心的实现。司慎和司盟这些监督结盟诚信的神灵，还有所有主管山川的众神以及大祀中祀以下列在祀殿的诸神，他们无不光临这场神圣的大会。	"Heaven is remote but still it can hear the people under it. The prowess of deities and spirits will for sure help the fulfillment of their will. The deities are in charge of alliance formation and recording, and the spirits are in charge of mountains and rivers, and different sacrificial ceremonies which are all present in this sacred assembly."
自今日汉、吴既盟之后，戮力一心，同讨魏贼，救危恤患，分灾共庆，好恶齐之，无或携贰。	从今日蜀汉与东吴结盟之后，将戮力同心，共同讨伐魏贼，扶危救困，共患难而同喜庆，好恶一致，没有二心。	"From today on after the formation of the alliance, the Shu Empire and the Wu Empire will unite as one to fight the usurper of the Wei Empire together, and to save those in danger while assisting those in difficulty. We will share in the weals and the woes, enjoy in happiness and celebration together, and we will share the same likes and dislikes. Neither of us does so half-heartedly."
若有害汉，则吴伐之；若有害吴，则汉伐之。	如果有人危害蜀汉，那么吴国就讨伐他；如果有人危害吴国，那么蜀汉就讨伐他。	"If someone invades the Shu Han, the East Wu will defeat him; if someone does harm to the East Wu, the Shu Han will defeat him."
各守分土，无相侵犯。	各自守好自己的疆土，互不侵犯。	"Each side defends its own territory, not invading the other."
传之后叶，克终若始。	传于后代，始终如一。	"This tradition will be passed down for generations, maintaining its consistency from beginning to end."
凡百之约，皆如载书。	凡是各项盟约，都按照盟书记载的原则办理。	"Hundreds of items in the alliance treaty will be executed in conformity to the principles recorded in the historical treaties of alliance."
信言不艳，实居于好。	真实的话并不华丽，实在是出自于彼此的友好。	"The truthful words are not splendid, but they indeed express the mutual friendship."
有渝此盟，创祸先乱，违贰不协，慆慢天命，明神上帝是讨是督，山川百神是纠是殛，俾坠其师，无克祚国。	如果有谁背弃盟约，率先制造祸乱，心存二志不能和协，怠慢天命，神明的上帝就会讨罚他、督察他，山川的诸神就会举发他、诛灭他，使他丧失民众，国运不得长久。	"If one side violates the treaty of alliance, initiates troubles or stirs up turbulence, does not coordinate with the same intention, or shows indifference to the heaven’s mandate, the wise deities will supervise and conquer it. All the spirits of mountains and rivers will expose and eliminate it, causing it to lose its people, and ensuring a soon demise of the empire."
于尔大神，其明鉴之!”	神灵啊，请您明察!”	"Great deities, please give your testimony!”
秋九月，权迁都建业，因故府不改馆，征上大将军陆逊辅太子登，掌武昌留事。	秋九月，孙权迁都到建业，就用原来的府第而不再修建新的宫室，征召上大将军陆逊辅佐太子孙登，掌管武昌的留守事务。	In the autumn of the ninth lunar month, Sun Quan moved his capital to Jianye, where he lived and worked in the old mansions, not constructing any new palaces.

虽汤遇伊尹，周获吕望，世祖未定而得河右，方之今日，岂复是过？	即使是商汤遇到伊尹，周文王获得吕望，汉光武帝天下未定而先得河右，跟我今天的心情相比，又怎么能有所超过呢？	This has happened just as if Tang of the Shang Dynasty had met Yi Yin, King Wen of Zhou had encountered Lü Wang, and Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty had obtained the right areas of the Yellow River before he gained a complete control of the whole country. Is what has happened today not better than all other possibilities?

举朝大臣，自丞相雍已下皆谏，以为渊未可信，而宠待太厚， 但可遣吏兵数百护送舒、综，权终不听。	满朝文武，从丞相顾雍以下都规劝孙权，认为公孙渊不可相信，对他的恩宠礼遇过分优厚，只派一般官吏和几百士兵护送宿舒、孙综回去就可以了，孙权终究不肯采纳。	All the court officials, from Prime Minister Gu Yong downwards, persuaded that Gongsun Yuan was not so credible that was worth too much favor, and it was sufficient to dispatch several hundred officials and soldiers to escort Su Shu and Sun Zong back.

六年春正月，诏曰：“夫三年之丧，天下之达制，人情之极痛也；	嘉禾六年春正月，孙权下诏书说：“守孝三年，是天下通行的制度，也是人的情感痛到极处的体现；	In the spring of the first lunar month in the sixth year, an imperial edict was issued: “The three-year period of mourning observation is a universal convention and an expression of the extreme pain caused by human emotions.
贤者割哀以从礼，不肖者勉而致之。	贤明的人割舍个人的哀思以服从国家的大礼，不成材的人也会勉力做到。	The superior men sever their personal mourning to abide by the rites of the country, and the unworthy men also exert themselves to follow their example.
世治道泰，上下无事，君子不夺人情，故三年不逮孝子之门。	天下安定太平，圣贤之道通畅，上下无事，君子就不会去剥夺人之常情，因此三年不登孝子的家门。	When the country is peaceful, the ways of sages are smooth. When nothing unusual happens throughout the country, the superior men will not deprive people of their normal mourning. That is why they will not visit the filial sons’ houses for three years.
至于有事，则杀礼以从宜，要绖而处事。	至于有国事时，就要减少丧礼来顺从国家需要，穿着孝服也得处理公事。	Nevertheless, when there is a need in the country, mourning should be interrupted in order to cope with the changing situations. Even in funeral clothes, public affairs should be handled.
故圣人制法，有礼无时则不行。	所以圣人制定礼法，合礼而不合时就难以通行。	The sages instituted the rites, but it is difficult to implement them during inappropriate times.
遭丧不奔非古也，盖随时之宜，以义断恩也。	遇到丧事而不奔丧并非古制，只不过是因时随宜，因国家大义需要而割舍个人恩情罢了。	It is not in conformity to the ancient convention when a man does not attend the funeral of his parents. It is only because of a temporary decision for the public need that he severs his private emotions from himself in order to attend the service of the country.
前故设科，长吏在官，当须交代，而故犯之，虽随纠坐，犹已废旷。	以前特地设置条例，官员在职的，遇到丧事务必办理交代手续，有明知故犯的，即使马上治罪，但公务还是被荒废了。	In the past, the laws formulated prescribed that in the case that a chief official was confronted with a funeral while he was in position, he must go through the procedures of handing over his work. If someone knowingly violated the law, even if he was immediately corrected and punished, the public affairs were left unattended.
方事之殷，国家多难，凡在官司，宜各尽节，先公后私，而不恭承，甚非谓也。	现在正当多事之秋，国家困难重重，凡是在职官吏，应该各尽臣节，先公后私，不能严格奉行朝廷所制定的法令，可以说是非常错误的。	Now the country is in troubled times, and anyone in office should try his best to attend to his duty. He must follow the principle of subordination, putting his own interests below the needs of the public. It is extremely wrong for them not to observe the laws strictly.
中外群僚，其更平议，务令得中，详为节度。”	朝廷内外大臣，请重新商议此事，务必让这方面的法令合情合理，详细地制定条例。”	The officials within and without the court should discuss this problem again, making sure the relevant laws are rational, and are prescribed in detailed and appropriate words. ”
顾谭议，以为“奔丧立科，轻则不足以禁孝子之情，重则本非应死之罪，虽严刑益设，违夺必少。	顾谭发表意见，认为“为奔丧立法，轻了则不能禁止孝子奔丧的私情，重了则离职奔丧本不是应死大罪，即使让严厉的刑罚设置得更多，违背人的意愿而迫使改变的效果必定不会显著。	Gu Tan commented, “As for legislation for attendance of a funeral, a light punishment will not prevent a filial son from observing the mourning formality, and a heavy punishment will result in violating the will of people thus gaining little effect, because the action of leaving in order to mourn does not warrant the death penalty.
若偶有犯者，加其刑则恩所不忍，有减则法废不行。	如果偶有触犯的，加重对他的处罚对于私情来说于心不忍，减轻处罚则导致法令废弛不能施行。	If there is an occasional offender, we cannot have the heart to execute a severe punishment, but on the other hand, alleviation of punishment will cause impossible execution of the laws.
愚以为长吏在远，苟不告语，势不得知。	我认为官吏若在远方任职，假如有丧而不告知，势必不可得知其事。	I humbly think that an official in a remote area could not have learned of any funeral message if not told of it.
比选代之间，若有传者，必加大辟，则长吏无废职之负，孝子无犯重之刑”。	在选择接替他的人选期间，如果有传递消息给他的，一定处以极刑，这样也就可保官吏不因怠忽职守而犯罪，孝子不因触犯重罪而受到严刑惩处的事了”。	In the process of selecting a substitution, if someone passes the message to him, the man must be executed. In this way, officials will not violate the laws of neglecting public affairs, and filial sons will not suffer severe penalties for committing a felony. ”
将军胡综议，以为“丧纪之礼，虽有典制，苟无其时，所不得行。	将军胡综发表意见，认为“丧事礼仪，虽有典章法度，如果不顺从时宜，也是行不通的。	General Hu Zong remarked, “As for the funeral rites, although there are laws and regulations, if they are not adaptable to the current times, then they cannot be properly implemented.
方今戎事，军国异容，而长吏遭丧，知有科禁，公敢干突，苟念闻忧不奔之耻，不计为臣犯禁之罪，此由科防本轻所致。	现在正当战争年代，军事与政事的处置应有所区别，而官吏遇到丧事，明知有法令禁止，却公然触犯，苟且于孝子闻丧不奔的耻辱，而不顾及身为臣子触犯法禁的罪责，这是由条例禁令根本太轻所造成的。	Now we are in a time of war, so there should be a difference in dealing with military and political affairs. If there is a death in an official’s family, the official knows it is a violation of the law to observe the mourning rites. But if he is still in open defiance of the law, it is because he feels shameful that he did not attend the funeral upon learning of the news. This means the punishment is not severe enough to deter him.
忠节在国，孝道立家，出身为臣，焉得兼之？	忠贞的节操在于为国献身，以孝为本的礼法规范在于立家，既然已经为官为臣，忠孝又怎可以完全兼顾？	How can one establish a family based on filial piety and yet serve as a minister, achieving both?
故为忠臣不得为孝子。	所以要做忠臣就不能做孝子。	Therefore, a loyal minister cannot be a filial son.
宜定科文，示以大辟，若故违犯，有罪无赦。	应该制定法令条文，用死刑作为警示，如果有故意违犯法令的，有罪就绝不给予赦免。	We should establish legal provisions, using the death penalty as a warning. If anyone deliberately violates the law, they shall be guilty without pardon.
以杀止杀，行之一人，其后必绝”。	用死刑来制止臣子犯死罪，处置一个人，那以后这种行为就一定会绝迹。”	To stop killing with killing, if we punish one person, such acts will surely cease thereafter."
丞相雍奏从大辟。	丞相顾雍奏请孙权同意违法奔丧按死刑处置。	Prime Minister Gu Yong petitioned to impose the death penalty for those who violated the law to attend funerals.
其后吴令孟宗丧母奔赴，已而自拘于武昌以听刑。	这以后吴县县令孟宗因母亲去世而违令奔丧，事后在武昌将自己关押起来等候惩处。	Later, Meng Zong, the magistrate of Wu County, went to attend his mother's funeral in violation of the order. Afterwards, he imprisoned himself in Wuchang to await punishment.
陆逊陈其素行，因为之请，权乃减宗一等，后不得以为比，因此遂绝。	陆逊向孙权陈奏孟宗的一贯品行，然后为孟宗求情，孙权于是给孟宗减刑一等，并申明下不为例，由此违法奔丧的事就绝迹了。	Lu Xun reported Meng Zong's usual conduct to Sun Quan and pleaded for him. Sun Quan then reduced Meng Zong's punishment by one grade and declared that this would not be a precedent, so such violations ceased thereafter.
二月，陆逊讨彭旦等，其年，皆破之。	二月，陆逊讨伐彭旦等人，当年，把他们都打败了。	In the second lunar month, Lu Xun attacked Peng Dan and others, and defeated them all that year.
冬十月，遣卫将军全琮袭六安，不克。	冬十月，派卫将军全琮袭击六安，没有成功。	In the winter of the tenth lunar month, Defense General Quan Cong was sent to attack Lu'an, but failed.

赤乌元年春，铸当千大钱。	赤乌元年春，孙权铸造了一枚当千枚小钱的大钱。	In the spring of the first year of the Chiwu era, Sun Quan cast a large coin worth a thousand small coins.
夏，吕岱讨庐陵贼，毕，还陆口。	当年夏天，吕岱讨伐庐陵贼，事毕，返回陆口。	In summer, Lü Dai attacked the rebels in Luling. After the battle, he returned to Lukou.
秋八月，武昌言麒麟见。	秋八月，武昌说有麒麟出现。	In the autumn of the eighth lunar month, Wuchang reported the appearance of a unicorn.
有司奏言麒麟者太平之应，宜改年号。	有关部门上奏说麒麟是天下太平的征兆，应该改年号。	The relevant department suggested that the unicorn was an omen of peace and that the era name should be changed.
诏曰：“间者赤乌集于殿前，朕所亲见，若神灵以为嘉祥者，改年宜以赤乌为元。”	孙权下诏书说：“近来红色乌鸦聚集在殿前，我亲眼所见，如果神灵以为是吉祥的事，那改年号就用赤乌元年吧。”	The edict read: "Recently, red crows gathered before the palace, which I have seen with my own eyes. If these are considered auspicious by the spirits, the era name should be changed to Chiwu (Red Crow)."
群臣奏曰：“昔武王伐纣，有赤乌之祥，君臣观之，遂有天下，圣人书策载述最详者，以为近事既嘉，亲见又明也。”	群臣奏请说：“过去周武王伐纣，有红乌鸦得吉祥征兆，君臣们见到了它，于是就拥有了天下，圣人在书策上记载得最为详尽，认为像近来的这件事已经很吉祥了，何况又是明白无误的亲眼所见。”	All the officials echoed, "In the past, when King Wu of Zhou conquered King Zhou of Yin, there was an auspicious sign of red crows. The monarch and officials saw it and then gained the world. The sages recorded this in detail on bamboo slips, considering the recent event auspicious and witnessed clearly."
于是改年。	于是更改年号。	Thus, the era name was changed.
步夫人卒，追赠皇后。	步夫人去世，追赠为皇后。	Lady Bu died and was posthumously bestowed the title of empress.
初，权信任校事吕壹，壹性苛惨，用法深刻。	当初，孙权信任校事吕壹，吕壹本性苛刻残忍，执法严峻苛刻。	Initially, Sun Quan trusted the imperial observer Lü Yi, who was cruel and severe in nature and enforced laws harshly.
太子登数谏，权不纳，大臣由是莫敢言。	太子孙登数次进谏劝说，孙权都不采纳，大臣们因此没人再敢说话。	Crown Prince Sun Deng advised Sun Quan several times, but he did not listen, so the ministers dared not speak further.
后壹奸罪发露伏诛，权引咎责躬，乃使中书郎袁礼告谢诸大将，因问时事所当损益。	后来吕壹奸恶邪僻的罪行暴露，被依法处死，孙权引咎自责，就派中书郎袁礼向诸位大将致歉，借机也询问政事应该有何增减变化。	Later, Lü Yi's evil crimes were exposed, and he was executed. Sun Quan took responsibility and sent Yuan Li, a Central Secretariat official, to apologize to the generals and inquire about current affairs and potential improvements.
礼还，复有诏责数诸葛瑾、步骘、朱然、吕岱等曰：“袁礼还，云‘与子瑜、子山、义封、定公相见，并咨以时事当有所先后，各自以不掌民事，不肯便有所陈，悉惟之伯言、承明。伯言、承明见礼，泣涕恳恻，辞旨辛苦，至乃怀执危怖，有不自安之心’。	袁礼回来，孙权又下诏责备诸葛瑾、步骘、朱然、吕岱等人说：“袁礼回来，说‘已与子瑜、子山、义封、定公相见，并对当前朝政缓急先后的事宜进行了咨询，而每个人各以不管民事为由，不肯陈述自己的见解，而全部推给伯言和承明两人。伯言、承明见了袁礼，伤心流泪而言辞悲切凄恻，甚至还有恐惧不安，心怀忐忑的表现’。	When Yuan Li returned, Sun Quan issued a decree reproaching Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Lü Dai, and others: "Yuan Li reported, 'I met Ziyu, Zishan, Yifeng, and Dinggong and consulted them on the priorities of current affairs. Each refused to offer opinions, claiming they didn't handle civil affairs, and all deferred to Boyan and Chengming. When Boyan and Chengming saw me, they wept sorrowfully, their words earnest and distressed, even fearful and uneasy.'"
闻此怅然，深自刻怪。	我听说后很不开心，并深深自责。	Hearing this, I felt despondent and reproached myself deeply.
何者？	这是什么原因呢？	Why?
夫惟圣人能无过行，明者能自见耳。	我以为只有圣人能够没有过失，说到底那也是大智大慧者具有自我省察的能力罢了。	Only sages are without faults, and the wise can see their own mistakes.
人之举措，何能悉中？	人的行为举止，怎么可能全部正确无误呢？	How can a person's actions be entirely correct?
独当己有以伤拒众意，忽不自觉，故诸君有嫌难耳；	自以为是而拒绝听取别人的意见，一时没能觉悟，所以各位才因有避忌而为难；	I must have been arrogant and refused others' advice without realizing it, making you hesitant;
不尔，何缘乃至于是乎？	若非如此，又怎会弄到现在这种地步呢？	otherwise, how could this happen?
自孤兴军五十年，所役赋凡百皆出于民。天下未定，孽类犹存，士民勤苦，诚所贯知。然劳百姓，事不得已耳。	从我起兵至今五十年来，劳役赋税等等无一不是出自于百姓。天下还未平定，丑类还在逍遥法外，人民为此备受勤苦，我心里其实再明白不过。然而有劳于百姓，也完全是事不得已。	For fifty years since I started leading the army, all labor and taxes have come from the people. The world is not yet unified, and evil still exists. The people work hard, which I fully understand. Yet, burdening the people is unavoidable.
与诸君从事，自少至长，发有二色，以谓表里足以明露，公私分计足用相保。	与诸位共事，从少到长，头发都花白了，可以说从内心到外在大家相互间都足以显露明白，于公于私也应是足以相互信任。	I have worked with you from youth to old age, our hair now gray. I thought our hearts and minds were open, and we could trust each other in public and private.
尽言直谏，所望诸君，拾遗补阙，孤亦望之。昔卫武公年过志壮，勤求辅弼，每独叹责。	言无不尽，正直劝谏，我指望的就是诸位指出我的不足，弥补我的缺点过失，我指望的也是你们。从前卫武公才过青壮年时期，便勤恳地寻求辅佐的大臣，每每独自叹息自责。	I hope for honest and direct advice that you will point out my flaws and make up for my shortcomings. I also hope for this. In the past, Duke Wu of Wei, even after his prime, sought assistants earnestly and often sighed in self-reproach.
