　　Fish in Troubled Waters浑水摸鱼;趁火打劫;陷于混乱

　　Fish in Troubled Waters直译是：“浑水里捕鱼”，出自《伊索寓言·渔夫》

　　这篇寓言江的是：有个渔夫在河里张网捕鱼，他把鱼网横栏在河道里，然后拿了一条缚着石块的绳子，不停的拍击河水，使泥沙泛起，河水浑浊，鱼儿在慌乱中纷纷自投罗网，渔夫用这个方法捕得了好多鱼。但住在附近的人指责渔夫说：“我们饮水全靠这条河，你把水搞得这么浑，叫我们到哪里去找清水饮用呢?”渔夫回答说：“可是，我若不把水搞浑，那就非饿死不可了”

　　因此，人们常用to fish in trouble waters比喻to try to win advantages for oneself from a disturbed state of affairs;to make use of sb's misfortune to serve one's own ends.并因此产生了谚语it’s good fishing in troubled waters(混水好摸鱼)。

　　在英语中，to fish in troubled waters也可写成to fish in the muddy waters，而且water必须做waters。

　　eg:The man who interferes in South American politics is fishing in troubled waters

　　I refused to let them come here because i knew they only wanted to fish in troubled waters

　　Those who made large profits out of illegally selling rationed goods during World War II were fishing in troubled waters.
