正饮间,见一大汉,推著一辆车子,到店门首歇了;入店坐下,便唤酒保「快斟酒来吃,我待赶入城去投军」。玄德看其人,身长九尺,髯长二尺;面如重枣,唇若涂脂;丹凤眼,卧蚕眉;相貌堂堂,威风凛凛。

As they were drinking, a huge, tall fellow appeared pushing a hand-cart along the road. At the threshold he halted and entered the inn to rest awhile and he called for wine. "And be quick!" added he. "For I am in haste to get into the town and offer myself for the army." Liu Bei looked over the newcomer, item by item, and he noted the man had a huge frame, a long beard, a vivid face like an apple, and deep red lips. He had eyes like a phoenixs and fine bushy eyebrows like silkworms. His whole appearance was dignified and awe-inspiring.
