     正飲間，見一大漢，推著一輛車子，到店門首歇了；入店坐下，便喚酒保「快斟酒來吃，我待趕入城去投軍」。玄德看其人，身長九尺，髯長二尺；面如重棗，脣若塗脂；丹鳳眼，臥蠶眉；相貌堂堂，威風凜凜。 [MSC, trad.]

     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.
