《三國演義》之刮骨療傷的故事--中國歷史故事英文版
Scrape the Poison off the Bone
This is a story from Three Kingdoms. Guan Yu was hit by a poisonous arrow in the right arm while attacking Fancheng City. When his men took the arrowhead out， they found that the poison had already seeped into the bone， so they persuaded him to go to Jingzhou for treatment. Determined to take over Fancheng City， Guan refused to retreat. Seeing Guan's wound getting worse day by day， they sent out scouts to look for famous doctors. One day， a man named Hua Tuo came by boat to the camp especially to cure Guan Yu. Guan asked him about how he would heal the wound. Hua said： “I am afraid that you will be scared， so Isuggest that we set up a post with a loop to tie down your arm with rope. Then， when your eyes are covered， I will start the operation.” Guan laughingly said， “That's necessary.” Then he gave orders to hold a dinner for Hua Tuo. After drinking several glasses of wine， Guan started to play chess. At the same time， he reached out his right arm to Hua Tuo and said， “It is at your disposal. I have no fear.” Hua cut the skin and flesh open and scraped the bone with scalpel. Everyone present covered his eyes while Guan continued drinking and playing chess. In a moment， the blood filled a basin. When the poison was scraped off the bone， Guan stood up and smilingly said， “Now my arm can move freely just like before. Mr. Hua Tuo， you are a magic doctor！” Hua said， “Since I started medical practice， I have not seen anyone like you. You are a magic general.”
刮骨療毒
關羽攻打樊城時，被毒箭射中右臂。將士們取出箭頭一看，毒已滲入骨頭，勸關羽回荊州治療。關羽決心攻下樊城，不肯退。將士們見關羽箭傷逐漸加重，便派人四處打聽名醫。一天，有人從江上駕小舟來到寨前，自報姓華名佗，特來給關羽治傷。關羽問華佗怎樣治法？華佗說：“我怕你害怕，立一柱子，柱子上吊一環，把你的胳膊套入環中，用繩子捆緊，再蓋住你的眼睛，給你開刀治療。”關羽笑著說：“不用捆。”然后吩咐宴招待華佗。關羽喝了幾杯酒就與人下棋，同時把右臂伸給華佗，并說：“隨你治吧，我不害怕。”華佗切開肉皮，用刀刮骨。在場的人嚇得用手捂著眼。再看關羽，一邊喝酒，一邊下棋。過了一會，血流了一盆，骨上的毒刮完，關羽笑著站起來對眾將說：“我的胳膊伸彎自如，好像從前一樣。華佗先生，你真是神醫呀！”華佗說：“我行醫以來，從沒見像你這樣了不起的人，將軍乃神人也。”
