Please help me check with my translation of two episodes of Chinese drama. Since this is the first time I have such a try, many errors are inevitable. Any help and suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanx.

1. 霸王别姬选段
在中国汉朝楚汉相争时期, 楚霸王项羽兵败痛失楚地. 在他悲愤交加的时刻, 他的爱妃虞姬配他饮酒并歌舞为他排忧解愁. 这是中国戏曲优秀代表作之一. 这段戏溶入了中国武术的剑法与古典戏曲相结合, 表现了虞姬能歌善舞, 文武双全的人物特性.

Selective Episode from "Farewell Concubine"

Farewell Concubine
During the wartime between State of Chu and State of Han in China's Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu, King of State of Chu, was defeated and lost his territory. At the time he was grievous and undignified, his most loved Concubine Yu, was accompanying him to have drinks. She was dancing trying to relieve the King's sorrows. This is one of the best representatives of Chinese drama. This selective episode mingles Chinese martial art: swordplay, and classical performing art. This episode well demonstrates Concubine Yu's refined singing and dancing skills, showing that she is both civil and military talented.

2 贵妃醉酒选段
贵妃醉酒是中国戏剧优秀传统剧目之一. 它是描写中国唐朝皇帝唐明皇的爱妃杨玉环在百花厅等候唐明皇的到来的故事. 这段戏是杨玉环在去往百花厅的路上, 心旷神怡, 一路上欣赏着皇宫内院的景致, 看到鱼, 看到鸳鸯和大雁, 见景生情, 载歌载舞, 充分展现了杨贵妃心中的愉悦.

Intoxicated Noble Concubine
Intoxicated Noble Concubine is one of the excellent traditional Chinese dramas. Yang Yuhuan is the noble concubine of Tang, the King of Chinese Tang dynasty. This drama tells the story about concubine Yang, while she is waiting for the arrival of the King in flowers Graden. This selected episode shows the story of Yang Yuhuan on her way to the Flowers Garden. She is relaxing and happy, enjoying the beauty of the building in the Palace. The feelings arising from the beautiful scenery, the fish, the mandarin ducks, make her sing and dance, which well shows the happiness in the heart of noble concubine Yang.
