《出师表》节选


臣亮言:先帝创业未半而中道崩殂,今天下三分,益州疲弊,此诚危急存亡之秋也。

Permit me to observe: the late emperor was taken from us before he could finish his life's work, the restoration of the Han. Today, the empire is still divided in three, and our very survival is threatened.


然侍卫之臣不懈于内,忠志之士忘身于外者,盖追先帝之殊遇,欲报之于陛下也。

Yet still the officials at court and the soldiers throughout the realm remain loyal to you, your majesty. Because they remember the late emperor, all of them, and they wish to repay his kindness in service to you.



诚宜开张圣听,以光先帝遗德,恢弘志士之气,不宜妄自菲薄,引喻失义,以塞忠谏之路也。

This is the moment to extend your divine influence, to honor the memory of the late Emperor and strengthen the morale of your officers. It is not the time to listen to bad advice, or close your ears to the suggestions of loyal men.


亲贤臣,远小人,此先汉所以兴隆也;亲小人,远贤臣,此后汉所以倾颓也。

The emperors of the Western Han chose their courtiers wisely, and their dynasty flourished. The emperors of the Eastern Han chose poorly, and they doomed the empire to ruin.



先帝在时,每与臣论此事,未尝不叹息痛恨于桓、灵也。

Whenever the late Emperor discussed this problem with me, he lamented the failings of Emperors Huan and Ling.


臣本布衣,躬耕于南阳,苟全性命于乱世,不求闻达于诸侯。

I began as a common man, farming in my fields in Nanyang, doing what I could to survive in an age of chaos. I never had any interest in making a name for myself as a noble.



先帝不以臣卑鄙,猥自枉屈,三顾臣于草庐之中,咨臣以当世之事,由是感激,遂许先帝以驱驰。

The late Emperor was not ashamed to visit my cottage and seek my advice. Grateful for his regard, I responded to his appeal and threw myself into his service.


先帝知臣谨慎,故临崩寄臣以大事也。

The late Emperor always appreciated my caution and, in his final days, entrusted me with his cause.


受命以来,夙夜忧叹,恐托付不效,以伤先帝之明,故五月渡泸,深入不毛。

Since that moment, I have been tormented day and night by the fear that I might let him down. That is why I crossed the Lu river at the height of summer, and entered the wastelands beyond.



今南方已定,兵甲已足,当奖率三军,北定中原,庶竭驽钝,攘除奸凶,兴复汉室,还于旧都。

Now the south has been subdued, and our forces are fully armed. I should lead our soldiers to conquer the northern heartland and attempt to remove the hateful traitors, restore the house of Han, and return it to the former capital.


此臣所以报先帝而忠陛下之职分也。

This is the way I mean to honor my debt to the late Emperor and fulfill my duty to you.



愿陛下托臣以讨贼兴复之效,不效,则治臣之罪,以告先帝之灵。

My only desire is to be permitted to drive out the traitors and restore the Han. If I should let you down, punish my offense and report it to the spirit of the late Emperor.



陛下亦宜自谋,以咨诹善道,察纳雅言。深追先帝遗诏,臣不胜受恩感激。今当远离,临表涕零,不知所言。

Your Majesty, consider your course of action carefully. Seek out good advice, and never forget the late words of the late Emperor. I depart now on a long expedition, and I will be forever grateful if you heed my advice. Blinded by my own tears, I know not what I write.



下面再来欣赏下C. H. Brewitt-Taylor的译本



先帝创业未半而中道崩殂,今天下三分,益州疲弊,此诚危急存亡之秋也。然侍卫之臣不懈于内,忠志之士忘身于外者,盖追先帝之殊遇,欲报之于陛下也。

The First Ruler had accomplished but half his great task at his death. At this moment the empire is in three parts, and our country is weak; it is a most critical moment for us. Still, ministers are not remiss in the capital, and loyal and devoted soldiers sacrifice their lives abroad, for they still remember the special kindness of the First Ruler and wish to show their gratitude to him by service to Your Majesty.


诚宜开张圣听,以光先帝遗德,恢弘志士之气,不宜妄自菲薄,引喻失义,以塞忠谏之路也。

Therefore it would be indeed fitting that you should extend your holy virtue to glorify his virtuous memory in the stimulation of the will of your purposeful officers. Your Majesty should not lose yourself in the pursuit of mean things, quoting phrases to confound the eternal principles of rectitude, and so preventing remonstrance from honest people.


宫中府中,俱为一体,陟罚臧否,不宜异同。若有作奸犯科及为忠善者,宜付有司论其刑赏,以昭陛下平明之理,不宜偏私,使内外异法也。

One rule applies to the palace of the Emperor and the residence of a courtier; there must be one law rewarding the good and punishing the evil. Evil-doers and law-breakers, as also true and good people, should be dealt with according to their deserts by the officers concerned in order to manifest Your Majesty's impartial and enlightened administration. Partiality is wrong, as is one law for the court and another for the regions.


侍中、侍郎郭攸之、费祎、董允等,此皆良实,志虑忠纯,是以先帝简拔以遗陛下。愚以为宫中之事,事无大小,悉以咨之,然后施行,必得裨补阙漏,有所广益。

The High Ministers Fei Yi, Guo Youzhi, and Dong Yun are honest men, devotedly anxious to be loyal to the last degree; wherefore His Late Majesty chose them in his testament. My advice is to consult them in all Palace matters, great or small, before taking action. Your Majesty will reap the enormous advantage of having any failings corrected.


将军向宠,性行淑均,晓畅军事,试用之于昔日,先帝称之曰能,是以众议举宠为督。愚以为营中之事,悉以咨之,必能使行阵和睦,优劣得所。

General Xiang Chong is a man of well-balanced temperament, versed in military matters, to whom, after testing him, the late Emperor applied the epithet 'capable'. The consensus of opinion is that Xiang Chong should be Grand Commander. My advice is to consult him in all military matters, great or small, whereby your military forces will yield their maximum, each one being employed to the best advantage.


亲贤臣,远小人,此先汉所以兴隆也;亲小人,远贤臣,此后汉所以倾颓也。先帝在时,每与臣论此事,未尝不叹息痛恨于桓、灵也。

Attract worthy people; repel mean ones. This policy achieved the glory of the Former Hans, while its reversal ruined the Latter Hans. When the late Emperor was with us, he often discussed this with your servant, and he took much to heart the story of Emperors Huan and Ling.


侍中、尚书、长史、参军,此悉贞良死节之臣,愿陛下亲之信之,则汉室之隆,可计日而待也。

The Chair of the Secretariat Chen Zhen, Commander Zhang Si, and Minister Jiang Wan are both incorruptible and enlightened people, honest to the death. I wish that Your Majesty should have them near and hold them in confidence. If this be done, then the glory of the House of Han will be quickly consummated.

臣本布衣,躬耕于南阳,苟全性命于乱世,不求闻达于诸侯。先帝不以臣卑鄙,猥自枉屈,三顾臣于草庐之中,咨臣以当世之事,由是感激,遂许先帝以驱驰。后值倾覆,受任于败军之际,奉命于危难之间,尔来二十有一年矣。

I was originally a private person, a farmer in Nanyang, concerned only to secure personal safety in a troubled age and not seeking conversation with the contending nobles. His Late Majesty, the First Ruler, overlooking the commonness of my origin, condescended to seek me thrice in my humble cot and consult me on the trend of events. His magnanimity affected me deeply, and I consented to do my utmost for him. Then came defeat, and I took office at a moment of darkest outlook and at a most difficult crisis. This is twenty-one years ago.


先帝知臣谨慎,故临崩寄臣以大事也。受命以来,夙夜忧叹,恐付托不效,以伤先帝之明,故五月渡泸,深入不毛。

The First Ruler recognized my diligent care, and when dying he confided the great task to me. From that day I have lived a life of anxiety lest I should fail in my trust and so dim his glory. That is why I undertook the expedition to the lands beyond the River Lu.


今南方已定,甲兵已足,当奖率三军,北定中原,庶竭驽钝,攘除奸凶,兴复汉室,还于旧都。此臣所以报先帝而忠陛下之职分也。至于斟酌损益,进尽忠言,则攸之、祎、允之任也。

Now the Southern Mangs has been quelled, and our army is in good condition. I ought to lead it against the north, where I may meet with a measure of success in the removal of the wicked ones, the restoration of Han, and a return to the old capital. This is my duty out of gratitude to the late Emperor and loyalty to Your Majesty. As to a discussion of the pros and cons and giving a true version of the whole matter, that belongs to Guo Youzhi and Fei Yi and Dong Yun.


愿陛下托臣以讨贼兴复之效,不效,则治臣之罪,以告先帝之灵。若无兴德之言,则责攸之、祎、允等之慢,以彰其咎;

I desire Your Majesty to confide to me the task of slaying the rebels and restoring the Hans. If I fail, then punish me by telling the spirit of the late Emperor. If you know not what restoration implies, that is the fault of your advisers.


陛下亦宜自谋,以咨诹善道,察纳雅言,深追先帝遗诏,臣不胜受恩感激。

Your Majesty should take pains to be guided into the right path and examine carefully what is laid before you, carefully remembering the late Emperor's testament. I cannot express what would be my delight if you had the goodness to accept and act on my advice.

今当远离,临表涕零,不知所言。

Now I am about to depart on a distant expedition, I write this with tears and clearly know what I have said.

今译:

先帝开创的大业未完成一半却中途去世了。现在天下分为三国,益州地区民力匮乏,这确实是国家危急存亡的时期啊。不过宫廷里侍从护卫的官员不懈怠,战场上忠诚有志的将士们奋不顾身,大概是他们追念先帝对他们的特别的知遇之恩(作战的原因),想要报答在陛下您身上。(陛下)你实在应该扩大圣明的听闻,来发扬光大先帝遗留下来的美德,振奋有远大志向的人的志气,不应当随便看轻自己,说不恰当的话,以致于堵塞人们忠心地进行规劝的言路。

皇宫中和朝廷里的大臣,本都是一个整体,奖惩功过,好坏,不应该有所不同。如果有做奸邪事情,犯科条法令和忠心做善事的人,应当交给主管的官,判定他们受罚或者受赏,来显示陛下公正严明的治理,而不应当有偏袒和私心,使宫内和朝廷奖罚方法不同。

侍中、侍郎郭攸之、费祎、董允等人,这些都是善良诚实的人,他们的志向和心思忠诚无二,因此先帝把他们选拔出来辅佐陛下。我认为(所有的)宫中的事情,无论事情大小,都拿来跟他们商量,这样以后再去实施,一定能够弥补缺点和疏漏之处,可以获得很多的好处。

将军向宠,性格和品行善良公正,精通军事,从前任用时,先帝称赞说他有才干,因此大家评议举荐他做中部督。我认为军队中的事情,都拿来跟他商讨,就一定能使军队团结一心,好的差的各自找到他们的位置。

亲近贤臣,疏远小人,这是西汉之所以兴隆的原因;亲近小人,疏远贤臣,这是东汉之所以衰败的原因。先帝在世的时候,每逢跟我谈论这些事情,没有一次不对桓、灵二帝的做法感到叹息痛心遗憾的。侍中、尚书、长史、参军,这些人都是忠贞诚实、能够以死报国的忠臣,希望陛下亲近他们,信任他们,那么汉朝的兴隆就指日可待了。

我本来是平民,在南阳务农亲耕,在乱世中苟且保全性命,不奢求在诸侯之中出名。先帝不因为我身份卑微,见识短浅,降低身份委屈自己,三次去我的茅庐拜访我,征询我对时局大事的意见,我因此十分感动,就答应为先帝奔走效劳。后来遇到兵败,在兵败的时候接受任务,在危机患难之间奉行使命,那时以来已经有二十一年了。

先帝知道我做事小心谨慎,所以临终时把国家大事托付给我。接受遗命以来,我早晚忧愁叹息,只怕先帝托付给我的大任不能实现,以致损伤先帝的知人之明,所以我五月渡过泸水,深入到人烟稀少的地方。现在南方已经平定,兵员装备已经充足,应当激励、率领全军将士向北方进军,平定中原,希望用尽我平庸的才能,铲除奸邪凶恶的敌人,恢复汉朝的基业,回到旧日的国都。这就是我用来报答先帝,并且尽忠陛下的职责本分。至于处理事务,斟酌情理,有所兴革,毫无保留地进献忠诚的建议,那就是郭攸之、费祎、董允等人的责任了。

希望陛下能够把讨伐曹魏,兴复汉室的任务托付给我,如果没有成功,就惩治我的罪过,(从而)用来告慰先帝的在天之灵。如果没有振兴圣德的建议,就责罚郭攸之、费祎、董允等人的怠慢,来揭示他们的过失;陛下也应自行谋划,征求、询问治国的好道理,采纳正确的言论,深切追念先帝临终留下的教诲。我感激不尽。

今天(我)将要告别陛下远行了,面对这份奏表禁不住热泪纵横,也不知说了些什么。
