翻译:
The friendship between Guan Zhong and Bao Shuyu is profound. Guan Zhong and Bao Shuyu were good friends. Guan Zhong was poor, while Bao Shuyu was wealthy, and Bao Shuyu often helped Guan Zhong share his wealth. Guan Zhong once planned something with Bao Shuyu, but the plan failed. Bao Shuyu did not blame Guan Zhong, but instead thought that Guan Zhong’s talent had not been given the right opportunity. Later, when Guan Zhong became wealthy, he recommended Bao Shuyu to be a minister, in order to repay his kindness.
