项羽四十万大军,刘邦十万,项羽的谋士范增要在鸿门宴上杀刘邦。
Xiang Yu's four hundred thousand faced Liu Bang's one hundred thousand; adviser Fan Zeng planned to kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet.
项伯连夜告诉张良,张良拉刘邦来赴宴。
Xiang Bo warned Zhang Liang overnight, and Liu Bang came to the feast.
席间范增几次举玉佩示意项羽动手,项羽不吭声。范增叫项庄舞剑,项庄舞剑意在沛公——项伯也拔剑对舞,用身子挡着刘邦。
Fan Zeng signalled thrice with his jade pendant — the king ignored it. Xiang Zhuang rose to dance his sword — aimed at Liu Bang — but Xiang Bo danced too, shielding him.
樊哙闯进来瞪着眼睛看项羽,项羽给他酒肉。刘邦借口上厕所,从小路跑了——鸿门宴是历史上最紧张的一顿饭。
Fan Kuai burst in glaring; the king gave him meat and wine. Liu Bang excused himself and fled by a side path — the most dangerous dinner in history.
