《三國演義》諸葛亮弔孝的故事

This is a story from Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yu, chief commander of Wu, was tAlented and proficient in strategies and tactics but was narrow-minded and intolerant of others.

東吳大都督周瑜,精通兵法,才智超羣,只是肚量狹小,不能容人。

He discussed with Zhuge Liang plans to conquer Cao Cao while simultaneously pondering how to murder Zhuge Liang.

他和諸葛亮共商破曹大計,可又想加害諸葛亮。

Zhou Yu had been wounded by a poisonous arrow when he was attacking Nanjun.

周瑜攻打南郡時,曾身中毒箭。

Zhou's wound burst when he learned that Zhuge Liang had already taken over Nanjun, Jingzhou and Xiangyang.

當諸葛亮趁亂用計先取南郡、荊州、襄陽後,周瑜一氣之下箭傷復發。

Zhou Yu, with a healing wound, racked(折磨，榨取) his brains for ways to capture Jingzhou. His strategies, however, were all seen through by Zhuge Liang who even sent him a mocking message.

病中的周瑜仍想智取荊州,均被諸葛亮識破。

Zhou Yu was vexed again. "Since You(the Heaven) made me, Zhou Yu, why did You make Zhuge Liang too?" Zhou Yu grudgingly(勉強地) asked before he took his last breath.

周瑜一氣再氣,在"既生瑜,何生亮"的怨恨聲中死去。

Learning of Zhou Yu's demise, Zhuge Liang decided to go to pay respects. Fearing that Zhuge Liang might be murdered, Liu Bei send Zhao Yun with 500 warriors to protect him.

諸葛亮得知周瑜的死訊,決定前去弔唁。劉備怕諸葛亮被害,派趙雲帶五百軍士保護。

Before Zhou Yu's coffin, Zhuge Liang personally offered libation(奠酒) , kneeled on the ground, and read his eulogy. Tears of grief gushed forth from Zhuge Liang.

在周瑜柩前,諸葛亮親自奠酒,跪在地上讀祭文,淚如泉涌,悲痛不已,衆將均被感動。

All the generals from Wu were moved. When Lu Su saw Zhuge Liang was in such grievance, he said to himself, “Zhou Liang was narrow-minded and he brought on his own death.”

魯蕭見諸葛亮如此悲痛,自言自語地說："周瑜肚量狹小,自取滅亡。"
