第二十三章 张飞遭暗害
Chapter 23 Zhang Fei's Misfortunate Encounter With Murder
刘备得知关羽被害，哭倒在地，好半天才醒转过来。他发誓要消灭东吴，替关羽报仇。于是他一面亲自操练兵马，一面加封张飞为车骑将军，让他同时起兵。
When Liu Bei heard of Guan Yu's death, he fell hysterically to the ground weeping, and didn't come back to consiousness for awhile. Liu Bei vowed to himself that he would destroy DongWu, and get revenge for Guan Yu. So he trained his troops, and promoted Zhang Fei, and told him to muster more soldiers.
关羽之死令张飞悲愤不已，张飞终日以酒浇愁，鞭打士卒，以发泄心中愤懑。
Guan Yu's death made Zhang Fei really sad, so he drank wine constantly to wash away the pain, and in his rage whipped soldiers, to vent the resentment in his heart.
这天，张飞来到成都，一见刘备便放声痛哭，问刘备何时才能伐吴，给关羽报仇。
One day, Zhang Fei arrived at ChengDu, and once he saw Liu Bei he started crying uncontrollably, and asked Liu Bei when they would get to attack DongWu, and avenge Guan Yu's death.
刘备让张飞率兵从阆中出发，自己率兵在江州与他会合，共同伐吴。张飞临走前，刘备一再叮嘱他不要饮酒误事。
Liu Bei told Zhang Fei to lead the troops out from LangZhong, and he himself would lead his army to JiangZhou and meet him there, and they would both attack DongWu. Before Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei reminded him once again to not drink wine and mess things up.
回到阆中，张飞令范疆、张达三日内制齐白旗白甲。二人完不成任务，请求宽限。
After returning to LangZhong, Zhang Fei ordered Fan Jiang and Zhang Da to make white flags and armor within three days. The two couldn't complete this task in time, and asked for more time.
张飞大怒：“我恨不得今天就发兵报仇，你们竟敢违抗军令！”将二人绑在大树上，各鞭打五十下。范疆、张达被打得鲜血直流。
Zhang Fei was furious. "I wanted this to be the day we go and get our revenge, but noooo, you guys can't even complete this order!" he then promptly had the two tied to a tree, and they both got 50 lashes. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were whipped so hard blood flowed down like waterfalls.
打完后，张飞说:“明天一定要备齐，否则杀了你俩示众。”说完，转身回帐。随后，范疆、张达被手下军士扶回营中。
After the whipping, Zhang Fei said, "The flags and armor better be prepared by tomorrow, otherwise I'll kill you in front of everyone else." And with those lovely parting words, he left. Afterwards, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were escorted back to the camp.
范疆说:“明天我们肯定备不齐白甲、白旗。只有杀死张飞，我们才有活路。”
Fan Jiang said, "We can't make all these by tomorrow for sure. I say we just kill Zhang Fei, so we can have a chance to live."
不过，范疆担心打不过张飞，张达说:“如果他喝醉了，我们就有机会下手。”
However, Fan Jiang worried that their strength couldn't match up to Zhang Fei, but Zhang Da assured him. "If he gets drunk, then we'll use this as our chance to finish him!''
当晚，张飞又想起关羽，顿时觉得烦躁不安。他又喝得大醉，在大帐中睡着了。
That night, Zhang Fei thought of Guan Yu again, and started feeling restless and anxious. He drank so much he was drunk silly, and fell asleep then and there.
半夜里，范疆、张达对守卫谎称有重要军情禀报，于是顺利地进入张飞的大帐。
In the middle of the night, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da told the sentries that they had important matter to discuss, so they easily got into Zhang Fei's room.
他们见张飞在昏睡，抽出短刀就要下手，可走近却发现张飞正大睁着眼睛。
The two men saw that Zhang Fei was sleeping, so they got out their swords and were about to strike, but as they neared Zhang Fei they saw that his eyes were open.
范疆、张达以为张飞醒了，吓得不敢动手。过了一会儿，他们听到张飞鼾声如雷，才知道他能睁着眼睛睡觉。
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da thought that Zhang Fei was awake, and were so scared that didn't dare make a move. A moment passed, and they heard Zhang Fei's thunderous snores, when they realized that Zhang Fei could sleep with his eyes open.
于是，范疆一刀刺死了张飞，张达用刀割下张飞的脑袋，二人连夜逃往东吴去了。
So, Fan Jiang killed Zhang Fei with one stab, Zhang Da used his sword to cut off Zhang Fei's head, and the two of them fled to DongWu.
刘备听说张飞遇害，放声痛哭。他发誓要消灭东吴，为关羽、张飞报仇。
After Liu Bei heard of Zhang Fei's demise, he wept his heart out. He swore to himself that he would crush DongWu, and avenge Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's deaths.
孙权听说刘备要攻打他，忙派诸葛瑾去求和，说愿意交还荆州。可是刘备一口回绝，一心要出兵报杀弟之仇。
After Sun Quan found out that Liu Bei was going to attack him, and hurriedly dispatched ZhuGe Jin to ask for a truce, and they were willing to trade in JingZhou. But Liu Bei angrily rejected them, and determindly gathered up soldiers to avenge his brothers.
