参考答案

The historical period I will tell you about is the Three Kingdoms,which existed about 1800 years ago.It started with the end of the Han dynasty and was followed by the Jin dynasty,lasting less than 100 years.This period was characterized by the tripartite division of China between the states of Wei,Shu,and Wu.

我要告诉你的历史时期是三国，存在于大约1800年前。它以汉朝的结束开始，以晋朝的设立为终结，持续了不到100年。这一历史时期以魏蜀吴三分中国为特点。

I first learned about it from a novel called Romance of the Three Kingdoms,which is acclaimed as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.The story–part historical,part legend,and part mythical–romanticizes and dramatizes the lives of lords and their retainers,who tried to replace the dwindling Han dynasty or restore it.

我第一次了解到这一时期是从一本叫做三国演义的小说。它是中国文学四大名著之一。这本部分史实、部分传奇、部分神话的小说将主公和臣子的人生浪漫化与戏剧化。他们努力取代飘摇的汉朝或者重建它。

What I am really interested in is the plots,personal and military battles,intrigues,and struggles of these states to achieve dominance.I have known the final winner,the main characters,and the general trend.

我真正感兴趣的是这些国家在谋求统一的过程中所涉及到的阴谋、个人与军事战争、诡计以及奋斗。我已经知道最终的获胜者，主要的角色以及大体的趋势。

However,since what I have read is a novel,I lack a lot of details,and I do not know which part is made up by the author and which part is the true history.I want to know what really happened during that period and if the heroes were as intelligent,loyal,and valorous as depicted in the book.

然而，因为我读的是小说，我缺乏大量的细节，也不知道哪部分是作者编的，哪部分是真实的历史。我想要知道那段时间里真正发生了什么，以及英雄们是否像书中刻画的那样机智、忠诚以及勇猛。
