One ring behind me, and then another… how can they have so many men?
- Zhao Yun 公子，你还在睡觉吗？你比我还不怕，真是个好孩子！
Gōngzǐ, nǐ hái zài shuìjiào ma? Nǐ bǐ wǒ hái bú pà, zhēn shì gè hǎo háizi!
Young master, are you still sleeping? You're even braver than I am, what a good boy!

Tiān na, tā cóng dòng lǐ tiào chūlái le! Zhè shì shénme mǎ ya?
Heavens, it jumped right out of the hole! What kind of horse is that?

Kuài fàng jiàn! Bù néng ràng tā zài wǎng qián zǒu le!
Shoot! Don't let him go any further!
- Zhao Yun 我是常山赵子龙！谁敢来挡我，就请过来吧！
Wǒ shì Chángshān Zhào Zǐlóng! Shéi gǎn lái dǎng wǒ, jiù qǐng guòlái ba!
I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan! Whoever dares to stop me, come on!
- Cao Cao 住手！谁也不要放箭，我要好好看看这个人！
Zhùshǒu! Shéi yě bú yào fàng jiàn, wǒ yào hǎohǎo kànkan zhège rén!
Stop! Nobody shoot. I want a good look at this man!
- Cao General 丞相，那个白马将军已经冲过了我们这么多圈，他到底是谁？
Chéngxiàng, nàge báimǎ jiāngjūn yǐjīng chōng guò le wǒmen zhème duō quān, tā dàodǐ shì shéi?
Prime Minister, that white-horse general has broken through so many of our rings. Who is he?

I'd like to know too. One man, one horse, one spear, what a fine general!

I don't want him dead. I want him to come and be my general.

Chéngxiàng, tā gāngcái hǎn guo, tā shì Chángshān Zhào Zǐlóng.
Prime Minister, he shouted just now that he is Zhao Zilong of Changshan.
- Cao Cao 赵子龙……我记住这个名字了。告诉大家，只可以抓，不可以伤！
Zhào Zǐlóng… wǒ jìzhù zhège míngzi le. Gàosu dàjiā, zhǐ kěyǐ zhuā, bù kěyǐ shāng!
Zhao Zilong… I'll remember that name. Tell everyone: catch him, but do not hurt him!
- Zhang Fei 站住！……啊，原来是子龙！你的白衣服，怎么变成灰色的了？
Zhànzhù! … Ā, yuánlái shì Zǐlóng! Nǐ de bái yīfu, zěnme biànchéng huīsè de le?
Halt! … Oh, it's Zilong! Why have your white clothes turned gray?

The young master? Where is he? … Ha ha, inside your armor! He's still fast asleep!
- Zhao Yun 夫人为了让我带着公子跑得快一点，自己已经不在了。
Fūrén wèile ràng wǒ dàizhe gōngzǐ pǎo de kuài yìdiǎn, zìjǐ yǐjīng bú zài le.
My lady is gone now, so that I could run faster with the young master.

Nǐ dàizhe gōngzǐ, kuài qù zhǎo dàgē. Zhèlǐ jiù jiāo gěi wǒ ba.
Take the young master and hurry to Big Brother. Leave this place to me.
- Zhao Yun 可是张将军，这里只有你一个人，他们有那么多兵！
Kěshì Zhāng jiāngjūn, zhèlǐ zhǐ yǒu nǐ yí gè rén, tāmen yǒu nàme duō bīng!
But General Zhang, you're the only one here, and they have so many soldiers!

Yí gè rén yě gòu le! Nǐ bié wàng le, wǒ hái yǒu yí gè dà sǎngzi ne!
One man is enough! Don't forget, I've still got my big voice!
