­　　受命以來(lái)，夙夜憂嘆，恐托付不效，以傷先帝之明，故五月渡瀘，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，當(dāng)獎(jiǎng)率三軍，北定中原，庶竭駑鈍，攘除奸兇，興復(fù)漢室，還于舊都。

­　　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.

­　　此臣所以報(bào)先帝而忠陛下之職分也。

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

­　?。?1）debt除了“債務(wù)”以外，也可以表示“人情債，恩情”。，常用的搭配為：in debt（負(fù)債）, owe a debt to…（欠某人錢/人情）。

­　　We will owe a debt to Sandy that we may not be able to repay.

­　　我們會(huì)欠珊迪一份無(wú)法償還的恩情。

­　?。?2） fulfill one’s duty ，“完成某人的職責(zé)”。fulfill有“完成，實(shí)現(xiàn)，達(dá)成，促成”的意思，常用的搭配有fulfill a duty/dream/role/fuction/expectation/wish/agreement等。

­　　I expect that he will do his part to fulfil the agreement between us and him.

­　　我認(rèn)為他一定會(huì)盡力和我們達(dá)成一致的。

­　　愿陛下托臣以討賊興復(fù)之效，不效，則治臣之罪，以告先帝之靈。

­　　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.

­　　陛下亦宜自謀，以咨諏善道，察納雅言。深追先帝遺詔，臣不勝受恩感激。今當(dāng)遠(yuǎn)離，臨表涕零，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.
