汉室倾危天数终,无谋何进作三公。
几番不听忠臣谏,难免宫中受剑锋。
(1)
Closing the days of the Hans,and the years of their rule were near spent,
Stupid and tactless was Ho Chin,yet stood he highest in office;
Many were they who advised him,but he was deaf as he heard not:
Wherefore fell he a victim under the swords of the eunuchs.
(C. H. Brewitt-Taylor)
(2)
The Han will fall,its star-told fate fulfilled,
With feckless He Jin counseling the king.
Deaf to honest words,he seals his doom:
Quartered in the queen's receiving room.
(Moss Roberts)
(3)
Closing the days of the Hans,and the years of their rule were near spent,
Stupid and tactless was He Jin,yet stood he highest in office;
Many were those who advised him,but he was deaf as he heard not;
Therefore he fell a victim under the sharp swords of the eunuchs.
(虞苏美)
