STUDY IN CHINA GLOBAL (SCG)咏怀古迹五首（其五）
杜甫
诸葛[1]大名垂宇宙，
宗臣遗像肃清高。
三分割据[2]纡筹策，
万古云霄一羽毛。
伯仲之间见伊吕[3]，
指挥若定失萧曹[4]。
运移汉祚终难复，
志决身歼军务劳。

To the Prime Minister of Shu （Ⅴ）
Du Fu
Your fame spreads far and wide, honored for long, long time:
Your noble image looks so solemn and sublime.
The world divided into three, Shu in the west;
You drove all clouds away with a plume on the crest.
You could rival all premiers of the olden day;
Beside you, all generals look pale and fade away.
But the kingdom at stake, you could not turn the tide;
Busy with your campaigns, with labor lost you died.
The Prime Minister refers to Zhuge Liang in the time of the Three Kingdoms (220—280).
