最近，一段英文版《出师表》在网络爆红……
没想到，这段堪称经典的表文用英文呈现，竟也是如此慷慨激昂、引人入胜……

最近，电视剧《大军师司马懿之虎啸龙吟》正在热播，这段英文的朗诵者正是剧中诸葛亮的扮演者王洛勇。
虽然之前有唐国强塑造的诸葛亮深入人心，但王洛勇版的诸葛亮还是圈了不少粉。他的完美英文也让不少观众好奇：新版诸葛亮还能有这种操作？！

With almost no knowledge of English, but a desire to become first-rate actor, Luoyong Wang came to the U. S. in 1986 to study theater. He overcame insurmountable difficulties in his life and career, working at all sorts of menial jobs while attending school and improving his English.
1986年，几乎不懂英语，但怀着成为一流演员梦想的王洛勇来到美国。他克服了生活和职业中难以克服的障碍，一面上课、学英语，一面做遍了所有卑微琐碎的工作。
几经尝试，他终于圆了自己的百老汇梦。
1995年，他登上百老汇舞台，出演了《西贡小姐》。并凭此获得了美国福克斯演员奖最佳男演员奖，获得了《纽约时报》的肯定。

Eight times he knocked on the door of Broadway and finally, with his "electric" acting as praised by The New York Times, he secured for himself the pivotal role of "the Engineer" in the Broadway musical "Miss Saigon."
他曾八次试图敲开百老汇大门，他终于在百老汇音乐剧《西贡小姐》中出演了主角“工程师”，《纽约时报》称赞他的表演“激动人心”。

《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.

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.

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.
