Translation of opening poem from The Three Kingdoms ( 三国演义 ):

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 woodsmen comb the river 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.
   Moss Roberts, Three Kingdoms, Vol. 1.

滚滚长江东逝水
浪花淘尽英雄
是非成败转头空
青山依旧在
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
