Wǒ zài gǎn shíjiān. Ràng kāi lù de rén, wǒ bú huì pèng tā.
I'm in a hurry. Anyone who clears the road, I won't touch.
- Narrator 大兵们吓得往后跑。赵云终于看见了那堵旧墙，还有墙边的老井。
Dàbīngmen xià de wǎng hòu pǎo. Zhào Yún zhōngyú kànjiàn le nà dǔ jiù qiáng, hái yǒu qiáng biān de lǎo jǐng.
The soldiers ran back in fright. At last Zhao Yun saw the old wall, and the old well beside it.
- Lady Mi 是……是子龙吗？我好像听见你的声音了。
Shì… shì Zǐlóng ma? Wǒ hǎoxiàng tīngjiàn nǐ de shēngyīn le.
Is that… Zilong? I think I heard your voice.

Fūrén! Wǒ lái wǎn le, dōu shì wǒ de cuò! Duìbuqǐ!
My lady! I'm late, it's all my fault! I'm so sorry!
- Lady Mi 这不是你的错。你看，阿斗睡着了，他一点儿也没有受伤。
Zhè bú shì nǐ de cuò. Nǐ kàn, Ā Dǒu shuìzháo le, tā yìdiǎnr yě méiyǒu shòushāng.
It isn't your fault. Look, A Dou has fallen asleep, and he isn't hurt at all.

My lady, please get on my horse! I'll take you and the young master through!

Wǒ de tuǐ shòushāng le. Wǒ yàoshi shàng le mǎ, nǐ jiù pǎo bú kuài le.
My leg is hurt. If I get on the horse, you won't be able to go fast.

Bù xíng! Wǒ bù néng diūxià nín! Zhǔgōng huì guài wǒ yí bèizi de!
No! I can't leave you! My lord would blame me all my life!
- Lady Mi 子龙，你听我说。阿斗是刘家的孩子，你一定要把他平安带给主公。

Mí fūrén bǎ háizi fàng jìn Zhào Yún de shǒu lǐ, zhuǎnshēn mànmàn zǒuxiàng nà kǒu jǐng.
Lady Mi placed the child in Zhao Yun's hands and turned slowly toward the well.
- Zhao Yun 夫人，请您回来！不要这样！

My lady, please come back! Don't do this!
- Zhao Yun 夫人……我永远不会忘记您。

Wǒ yòng shítou gàizhù jǐngkǒu, zhèyàng Cáo bīng jiù bú huì zhǎodào fūrén le.
I'll cover the well with stones, so Cao's soldiers won't find my lady.

Gōngzǐ, bié pà. Wǒ bǎ nǐ fàng jìn wǒ de kǎijiǎ lǐ, nǐ yào bào jǐn wǒ.
Young master, don't be afraid. I'm putting you inside my armor, and you must hold on to me.

Zài nàlǐ! Báimǎ jiāngjūn zài nàlǐ! Bié ràng tā pǎo le!
There he is! The white-horse general is over there! Don't let him escape!

Wéizhù tā! Wǒ tīngshuō, tā de huái lǐ yǒu Liú Bèi de háizi!
Surround him! I hear he's carrying Liu Bei's child!

Soldiers on every side… but I can't stop, and I can't be afraid.
