English Original
This story is from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yu, the chief commander of Wu, was a talented strategist but also narrow-minded and intolerant. While collaborating with Zhuge Liang of Shu to oppose Cao Cao, he secretly plotted to eliminate his rival.
During an attack on Nanjun, Zhou Yu was wounded by a poisonous arrow. His wound reopened in fury when he learned that Zhuge Liang had seized Nanjun, Jingzhou, and Xiangyang. As he recovered, Zhou Yu racked his brains to recapture Jingzhou, but each of his schemes was seen through and mocked by Zhuge Liang. Utterly vexed, Zhou Yu lamented with his dying breath, "Since Heaven created me, Zhou Yu, why did it also create Zhuge Liang?"
Upon Zhou Yu's demise, Zhuge Liang decided to pay his respects. Liu Bei, fearing for his safety, sent Zhao Yun with 500 warriors as protection. Before Zhou Yu's coffin, Zhuge Liang personally offered a libation, knelt, and read a heartfelt eulogy. His tears of grief gushed forth, moving all the Wu generals present. Witnessing this profound sorrow, Lu Su thought to himself, "Zhou Yu was narrow-minded and brought about his own end."
中文翻译
这个故事出自《三国演义》。吴国大都督周瑜才华横溢、精通谋略,但心胸狭窄、不能容人。在与蜀国诸葛亮共商抗曹大计的同时,他暗中盘算着如何除掉这位对手。
在攻打南郡时,周瑜中了毒箭受伤。当他得知诸葛亮已智取南郡、荆州和襄阳后,伤口崩裂,怒气攻心。伤愈期间,周瑜绞尽脑汁想夺回荆州,但他的计策每次都被诸葛亮识破并遭其嘲讽。周瑜忧愤交加,临终前不甘地叹道:“既生瑜,何生亮!”
得知周瑜去世,诸葛亮决定前往吊唁。刘备担心他的安危,派赵云率五百军士护卫。在周瑜灵柩前,诸葛亮亲自奠酒,跪地诵读祭文。他悲痛万分,泪如泉涌,在场的东吴将领无不为之动容。鲁肃见诸葛亮如此悲伤,心中暗想:“周瑜量窄,自取死耳。”
