如鱼得水 Rú yú dé shuǐ


        三国时期,刘备听说诸葛亮是一个难得的人才。为了请诸葛亮帮助自己建功立业,刘备曾经三次亲自到诸葛亮住的茅庐拜访他。诸葛亮看到刘备非常诚恳,终于同意见刘备了。见面之后,刘备向他请教了许多治理国家的方法。诸葛亮帮刘备仔细分析了当时的情势,建议刘备先占据荆州,这样才能有机会和曹操、孙权鼎足而立

During the Three Kingdoms Period, Liu Bei heard that Zhuge Liang has exceptional talent. In order to ask him to help set up the country, Liu Bei attempted to meet Zhuge Liang three separate times, in order to ask him to help establish the country. After the failed meetings he finally agreed to meet Liu because of his sincerity. After the meeting, Liu asked him which methods should be used to govern the state. Zhuge Liang helped Liu carefully analyze the current situation and then suggested he first occupy Jingzhou. Only then would it be possible to match the power of Cao Cao and Sun Quan.


        刘备很欣赏诸葛亮的才华,和诸葛亮的感情也逐渐加深。他高兴地跟别人说:"我得到诸葛亮的帮助,就好像鱼儿得到了水一样。"

Liu Bei admired Zhuge Liang's talent very much and gradually strengthened their relationship. He happily told others, "With the help of Zhuge Liang, I feel like a fish in water".
