Talkative Mei

空山不见人，

kōng shān bú jiàn rén ，

但闻人语响。

dàn wén rén yǔ xiǎng 。

返景入深林，

fǎn jǐng rù shēn lín ，

復照青苔上。

fù zhào qīng tái shàng 。

在幽静的山谷裡不见一个人，只听到有人说话的声音。夕阳的馀光射入深林中，又照到了林中的青苔上。

In a quiet valley without anyone to be seen, only the sound of voices could be heard. The sun shined through the trees in the forest, casting a mesmerizing glow over the moss-covered ground.

功盖三分国，

gōng gài sān fēn guó ，

名成八阵图。

míng chéng bā zhèn tú 。

江流石不转，

jiāng liú shí bù zhuǎn ，

遗恨失吞吴。

yí hèn shī tūn wú 。

孔明，也就是诸葛亮，他确立了魏、蜀、吴三国并存的局面，使得其功绩最爲卓着，他创制的八卦阵，更是名扬千古。任凭江水冲击，八阵图的石堆巍然不动，所遗憾的是，因为刘备的失策，没能吞併吴国。

Kongming, also known as Zhuge Liang, established the situation where the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu coexisted, making his achievements outstanding.The Eight Trigrams Formation he created is renowned through the ages. Despite the rushing water of the river, the pile of stones of the Eight Trigrams Formation remain steadfast. However, it is regrettable that Kongming failed to take possession of the state of Wu due to Liu Bei’s unwise decision.
