出师表先帝创业未半而中道崩殂；今天下三分，益州疲弊，此诚危急存亡之秋也。然侍卫之臣不懈于内；忠志之士忘身于外者，盖追先帝之殊遇，欲报之于陛下也。诚宜开张圣听，以光先帝遗德，恢弘志士之气；不宜妄自菲薄，引喻失义，以塞忠谏之路也。宫中府中，俱为一体；陟罚臧否，不宜异同：若有作*犯科及为忠善者，宜付有司论其刑赏，以昭陛下平明之理；不宜偏私，使内外异法也。侍中、侍郎郭攸之、费依、董允等，此皆良实，志虑忠纯，是以先帝简拔以遗陛下。愚以为宫中之事，事无大小，悉以咨之，然后施行，必得裨补阙漏，有所广益。将军向宠，性行淑均，晓畅军事，试用于昔日，先帝称之曰“能”，是以众议举宠为督。愚以为营中之事，悉以咨之，必能使行阵和睦，优劣得所。亲贤臣，远小人，此先汉所以兴隆也；亲小人，远贤臣，此后汉所以倾颓也。先帝在时，每与臣论此事，未尝不叹息痛恨于桓、灵也。侍中、尚书、长史、参军，此悉贞亮死节之臣也，愿陛下亲之、信之，则汉室之隆，可计日而待也。臣本布衣，躬耕南阳，苟全性命于乱世，不求闻达于诸侯。先帝不以臣卑鄙，猥自枉屈，三顾臣于草庐之中，咨臣以当世之事，由是感激，遂许先帝以驱驰。后值倾覆，受任于败军之际，奉命于危难之间，尔来二十有一年矣。先帝知臣谨慎，故临崩寄臣以大事也。受命以来，夙夜忧叹，恐付托不效，以伤先帝之明；故五月渡泸，深入不毛。今南方已定，甲兵已足，当奖帅三军，北定中原，庶竭驽钝，攘除*凶，兴复汉室，还于旧都。此臣所以报先帝而忠陛下之职分也。至于斟酌损益，进尽忠言，则攸之、依、允等之任也。愿陛下托臣以讨贼兴复之效，不效则治臣之罪，以告先帝之灵。若无兴德之言，则责攸之、依、允等之慢，以彰其咎。陛下亦宜自谋，以谘诹善道，察纳雅言，深追先帝遗诏。臣不胜受恩感激！今当远离，临表涕零，不知所言。出师表----英文版TheFirstRulerhadaccomplishedbuthalfhisgreattaskathisdeath.Atthismomenttheempireisinthreeparts,andourcountryisweak;itisamostcriticalmomentforus.Still,ministersarenotremissinthecapital,andloyalanddevotedsoldierssacrificetheirlivesabroad,fortheystillrememberthespecialkindnessoftheFirstRulerandwishtoshowtheirgratitudetohimbyservicetoYourMajesty.Thereforeitwouldbeindeedfittingthatyoushouldextendyourholyvirtuetoglorifyhisvirtuousmemoryinthestimulationofthewillofyourpurposefulofficers.YourMajestyshouldnotloseyourselfinthepursuitofmeanthings,quotingphrasestoconfoundtheeternalprinciplesofrectitude,andsopreventingremonstrancefromhonestpeople.OneruleappliestothepalaceoftheEmperorandtheresidenceofacourtier;theremustbeonelawrewardingthegoodandpunishingtheevil.Evil-doersandlaw-breakers,asalsotrueandgoodpeople,shouldbedealtwithaccordingtotheirdesertsbytheofficersconcernedinordertomanifestYourMajesty'simpartialandenlightenedadministration.Partialityiswrong,asisonelawforthecourtandanotherfortheregions.TheHighMinistersFeiYi,GuoYouzhi,andDongYunarehonestmen,devotedlyanxioustobeloyaltothelastdegree;whereforeHisLateMajestychosetheminhistestament.MyadviceistoconsulttheminallPalacematters,greatorsmall,beforetakingaction.YourMajestywillreaptheenormousadvantageofhavinganyfailingscorrected.GeneralXiangChongisamanofwell-balancedtemperament,versedinmilitarymatters,towhom,aftertestinghim,thelateEmperorappliedtheepithet'capable'.TheconsensusofopinionisthatXiangChongshouldbeGrandCommander.Myadviceistoconsulthiminallmilitarymatters,greatorsmall,wherebyyourmilitaryforceswillyieldtheirmaximum,eachonebeingemployedtothebestadvantage.Attractworthypeople;repelmeanones.ThispolicyachievedthegloryoftheFormerHans,whileitsreversalruinedtheLatterHans.WhenthelateEmperorwaswithus,heoftendiscussedthiswithyourservant,andhetookmuchtoheartt...
