是歲，立登爲太子，選置師傅，銓簡秀士，以爲賔友，於是諸葛恪、張休、顧譚、陳表等以選入，侍講詩書，出從騎射。 The same year Sun Deng was made crown prince. Tutors were appointed and talented men chosen as his companions, so Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xiu, Gu Tan, Chen Biao, and others joined his household by competitive selection—indoors they expounded the Classics; outdoors they rode and shot with him.

權欲登讀《漢書》，習知近代之事，以張昭有師法，重煩勞之，乃令休從昭受讀，還以授登。 Sun Quan wanted his heir to read the Han shu and learn recent history. Zhang Zhao was the acknowledged master teacher, but Sun Quan hesitated to burden him, so he had Zhang Xiu study under Zhang Zhao and then pass the lessons on to Sun Deng.

登待接寮屬，略用布衣之禮，與恪、休、譚等或同輿而載，或共帳而寐。 With his staff Sun Deng kept to plain, almost commoner-level courtesy: he shared a carriage with Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xiu, Gu Tan, and the like, or slept in the same tent with them.

黃龍元年，權稱尊號，登爲皇太子，以恪爲左輔，休右弼，譚爲輔正，表爲翼正都尉，是爲四友，而謝景、范慎、刁玄、羊衜等皆爲賔客， In 229 Sun Quan took the imperial style; Sun Deng became crown prince. Zhuge Ke was named left support, Zhang Xiu right support, Gu Tan rectifier of the heir, and Chen Biao capital commandant who wings the rectifier—the group known as the Four Friends—while Xie Jing, Fan Shen, Diao Xuan, Yang Dao, and others served as his guests.
