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.
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.
《江表傳》曰：登使侍中胡綜作賔友目曰：「英才卓越，超踰倫匹，則諸葛恪。
The Jiangbiao zhuan says Sun Deng had Palace Attendant Hu Zong draft appraisals of his companions: "For brilliance that towers above ordinary men, there is Zhuge Ke.
衜乃私駁綜曰：「元遜才而疏，子嘿精而狠，叔發辯而浮，孝敬深而狹。」
Yang Dao quietly contradicted Hu Zong: "Zhuge Ke is gifted but careless; Gu Tan is sharp but ruthless; Xie Jing is fluent but shallow; Fan Shen is deep but narrow-minded."
而衜卒以此言見咎，不爲恪等所親。
Those words earned Yang Dao resentment, and Zhuge Ke's circle never warmed to him.
