shinewind Posted February 1, 2012 at 09:17 AM Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 at 09:17 AM Below are my rough translation and notes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 曹操大将 A general of Cao Cao’s, 字元让 Whose Zi is Yuanrang, 安徽毫县人 and was born in Hao County of Anhui Province, 作战时 lost his left eye during war 丧其左目。 人称盲夏侯。 and was called Blind Xiahou. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 曹操: a famous figure of the three kingdoms era in ancient China 字： a special name (not first name) given to sb. to reveal his personality, dream, etc. 字is very popular in ancient China, but there’s hardly an English equivalent (to the extent I searched…) for it so I use Pinyin “Zi” in my translation. 夏侯：A family name.
