Grade 8, Chinese Volume II, 25 lessons, five poems and songs and their translation.

1. I was abandoned in the desolate place of Bashan Chushui and spent a long 23 years. Now come back, many old friends have passed away, and they can only recite Wendy Fu in vain to express their condolences. Now I'm back in my hometown, except that I seem to be a distant stranger. Next to the sunken ship, there will be Qian Fan passing by, and before the diseased trees, there will be all kinds of trees competing for spring. After listening to the poem you recited for me today, let's raise our glasses for the time being and drink to it.

2. A broken halberd sank into the underwater sand and was not eroded. After polishing and cleaning, it was found to be a relic of Battle of Red Cliffs. If the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Yu, I am afraid that Cao Cao will win and Er Qiao will be put in Tongquetai.

Because I read many classics and passed the imperial examination, I was elected as an official by the court. In the frequent struggle against Yuan, four years have passed. The state of the Great Song Dynasty is at stake. My life is bumpy, like duckweed drifting without roots in the rain, ups and downs. I'm still afraid of the fiasco at Fear Beach. It's a pity that I'm alone in Yuan Lu. Who can not die since ancient times? After death, I will leave this childlike heart serving the country to illuminate the history books.

4. On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chen Bing, I drank happily until (the next morning), got drunk, wrote this song (word), and also missed (my brother) Ziyou. When will the bright moon come? Raise your glass and ask the sky. I don't know what year it is tonight. I want to go back to the sky in the breeze, but I'm afraid that the beautiful jade building that returns to the Moon Palace can't stand the cold of nine days. Dancing under the moon to enjoy the clear shadow, it is better to go back to the moon palace than to be on earth. The moon revolves around the scarlet pavilion and hangs low on the carved window. According to people who are not sleepy (referring to the poet himself), the moon should not have any resentment against people. Why does it become round only when people are gone? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon changes from sunny to sunny. This kind of thing has been difficult to be comprehensive since ancient times. I hope the people I love can be safe and healthy, and even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can enjoy the beautiful moonlight.

5. It seems that the peaks meet here, and it seems that the big waves are raging here. There is the Yellow River (Tongguan) outside and Huashan inside, and Tongguan has a solid terrain. Looking at the ancient capital Chang 'an, my thoughts are ups and downs. Passing through the old place of Qin and Han dynasties, there are countless sorrows, and thousands of palaces have already turned into dust. Alas! Once established, the people suffer; Once destroyed, people are still suffering.
