（本名阿鄰）
(born Alin)
子阿鄰、可喜、阿瑣。
His sons were Alin, Kexi, and A Suo.
爽，本名阿鄰。
Shuang—born Alin.
海陵將伐宋，嚴酒禁，爽坐與其弟阿瑣，及從父兄京、徒單貞會飲，被杖，下遷歸化州刺史，奪猛安。
When Hailing was about to march on Song he banned wine outright. Shuang had drunk with his brother A Suo and with his cousins Jing and Tushan Zhen; he was flogged, demoted to prefect of Guihua, and lost his meng'an.
海陵渡淮，分遣使者翦滅宗室，爽憂懼不知所出。
Hailing crossed the Huai and sent agents to purge the clan. Shuang was sick with fear and could see no way out.
會世宗即位東京，宗室璋推爽弟阿瑣行中都留守，遣人報爽。
Shizong came to the throne at Dongjing. The clansman Zhang had A Suo, Shuang's younger brother, hold Zhongdu as acting protector and sent to inform Shuang.
爽棄妻子來奔，與弟忻州刺史可喜，俱至中都。
Shuang left wife and children behind and fled to join him; with his brother Kexi, prefect of Xin, he entered Zhongdu.
東迎車駕，至梁魚務入見，世宗大悅，即除殿前馬步軍都指揮使。
He rode east to meet the imperial train, was received at Liangyuwu, and Shizong rejoiced; at once Shuang was made commander of the Palace Horse and Foot Armies before the throne.
封溫王，改秘書監。
He was enfeoffed Prince Wen and appointed Director of the Secretariat.
母憂，尋起複，遷太子太保，進封壽王。
When his mother died he left office, but was soon recalled, made Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent, and advanced to Prince Shou.
頃之，世宗第五女蜀國公主下嫁唐括鼎，賜宴神龍殿，謂爽曰：「朕與卿兄弟，在正隆時，朝夕常懼不保，豈意今日賴爾兄弟之福，可以享安樂矣。」
Not long after, Shizong's fifth daughter, the Princess of Shu, married Tangguo Ding; a feast was held in the Shenlong Hall. The emperor said to Shuang, "You and your brothers—in the Zhenglong years we woke each day afraid we would not live to see the next. Who dreamed that today, by your brothers' blessing, we could sit in ease?"
爽泣下，頓首謝。
Shuang wept and bowed to the ground.
爽有疾，詔除其子符寶祗候思列為忠順軍節度副使。
Shuang fell ill; an edict made his son Silie, a Sigil Guard Attendant, deputy military commissioner of the Zhongshun Army.
爽入謝，上曰：「朕以卿疾，使卿子遷官，冀卿因喜而愈也。
Shuang came to give thanks. The emperor said, "Your illness moved me to advance your son—I hoped gladness might ease you.
爽疾少間，將從上如涼陘，賜錢千萬，進封英王，轉太子太傅。
When Shuang was somewhat better and was to follow the emperor to Liangxi, he received ten million cash, was advanced to Prince Ying, and made Grand Tutor of the Heir Apparent.
複世襲猛安，進封榮王，改太子太師。
His hereditary meng'an was restored; he was advanced to Prince Rong and made Grand Preceptor of the Heir Apparent.
顯宗長女鄴國公主下嫁烏古論誼，賜宴慶和殿，爽坐西向，迎夕照，面發赤似醉。
The Xianzong's eldest daughter, Princess of Ye, married Wugulun Yi; a feast was given in the Qinghe Hall. Shuang sat facing west into the sunset; his face burned red as if he were drunk.
以爽貲用有闕，特賜錢一萬貫。
Learning that Shuang's household was short, the emperor specially granted ten thousand strings of cash.
二十三年，爽疾久不愈，敕有司曰：「榮王告滿百日，當給以王俸。」
In year 23 Shuang's illness would not lift. An edict ran: "When Prince Rong's sick leave reaches one hundred days, grant him a prince's salary."
他日，謂大臣曰：「榮王之葬，朕以不果親送為恨。」
Another day he told his ministers, "At Prince Rong's funeral I could not go myself—that still grieves me."
海陵遣使殺之，可喜聞世宗即位，即棄州來歸，與其兄歸化州刺史阿鄰會於中都。
Hailing sent men to kill him. Hearing that Shizong had taken the throne, Kexi abandoned his post and fled in; he met his elder brother Alin, prefect of Guihua, at Zhongdu.
是時，弟阿瑣權中都留守事，可喜謂阿鄰曰：「阿瑣愚戇，恐不能撫治，欲少留以助之。」
A Suo was then acting protector of Zhongdu. Kexi said to Alin, "A Suo is slow and blunt; I doubt he can hold the city. Let me stay a while to help him."
阿鄰乃行。
Alin went on.
