In the Same Boat | 同舟共济

English Original

In ancient times, the people of the states of Wu and Yue were long-time rivals, a relationship that could be described as a feud.

However, if they found themselves in the same boat and encountered a storm, they would help each other just as one's left hand coordinates with the right, showing no sign of their usual hostility.


中文翻译

古时候,吴国和越国的人民长期敌对,这种关系可称为世仇

然而,假如他们同舟共渡时遭遇风暴,便会互相帮助,如同一个人的左右手互相配合一般,丝毫不见平日的敌意。
