《三国演义》中回荆州的故事--中国历史故事中英对照
回荆州
this is story from three kingdoms.
tricked by zhou yu, liu bei married sun shangxiang, sun quan's younger sister. after the wedding ceremony, liu bei stayed in the state of wu. in light of zhuge liang's plan, zhao yun made a false report to liu bei before his departure, saying that cao cao was attacking jingzhou. he urged liu bei to go back.
周瑜设计，让刘备和孙权的妹妹孙尚香成亲。婚后，刘备一直住在东吴。越云按临行前诸葛亮设的计策：假称曹操攻打荆州，催刘备回去。
believing it was true, liu bei discussed the matter with his wife and decided that they would pretend to offer sacrifice to the ancestors at the river and would leave the southland under the escort（护送） of zhao yun without announcing it.the day came and liu bei and his wife headed to the river. suddenly, generals and soldiers sent by zhou yun arrived. liu bei was frightened. he rushed to the front of lady sun's carriage and appealed tearfully to her: "when your elder brother and zhou yu conspired to call me to the southland to marry you, they did not do so for your sake. all they wanted was to confine（限制） me so that they could retake jingzhou, and after that to kill me. but i came, because i admire you. today, no one but you can save me. if you are not willing, i prefer to die here before your eyes."
刘备信以为真，和周瑜派追兵赶来，刘备十分惊慌，于是来到车前泣告孙夫人说："你哥哥和周瑜合谋将你嫁给我，是想用美人计杀我，再夺回荆州。我冒死前来，是敬慕夫人的名声，今天只有夫人出面才能解救，如夫人不出面，我只有一死。
