曹操正继续南下，将和我们决战于赤壁。他们的来意非常明显，就是要把我们消灭，进而控制江南和中原。
Cáo Cāo zhèng jìxù nán xià ，jiāng hé wǒmen juézhàn yú Chìbì 。tāmen de láiyì fēicháng míngxiǎn ，jiùshì yào bǎ wǒmen xiāomiè ，jìnér kòngzhì Jiāngnán hé Zhōngyuán 。
Cao Cao is continuing south as we speak. He's going to fight a decisive battle with us at the Red Cliffs. His reason for coming is very obvious-- he wants to annihilate us, and get control of the area south of the Yangtze River and the Central plateau.
我主张投降！我们所有部队加起来，人数也不足曹军的零头，他们可是有八十万大军啊！我们跟他打，等于拿鸡蛋碰石头！
wǒ zhǔzhāng tóuxiáng ！wǒmen suǒyǒu bùduì jiā qǐlai ，rénshù yě bùzú Cáo Jūn de língtóu ，tāmen kěshì yǒu bāshíwàn dàjūn a ！wǒmen gēn tā dǎ ，děngyú ná jīdàn pèng shítou ！
I say we surrender! All of our forces don't add up to anything compared to Cao Cao's army. They have an enormous army-- eight hundred thousand soldiers! For us to fight them would be like hitting a stone with an egg -- hopeless!
在我看来 ，如果我们能联合孙权的兵力，胜算还是很大的！
zàiwǒkànlai ，rúguǒ wǒmen néng liánhé Sūn Quán de bīnglì ，shèngsuàn hái shì hěn dà de ！
The way I see it, if we can hook up with [Wu King--Ed.] Sun Quan's forces, we'll have a good chance at victory!
诸葛孔明 ，你指的是？
Zhūgé Kǒngmíng ，nǐ zhǐ de shì ？
