混水摸鱼,汉语成语,亦作浑水摸鱼,原指在混浊的水中,鱼晕头转向,乘机摸鱼,可以得到意外的好处,比喻趁混乱的时候从中捞取不正当的利益(acquire profit in time of trouble)。与英文俗语fish in troubled waters意思相近,表示to try to capitalize on or benefit from a situation, circumstance, or experience that is fraught with disorder, difficulty, confusion, stress,etc。

例句:

要提防那些混水摸鱼的人。

Be aware of those who fish in troubled waters.

他经常买进宣布破产的公司的股票,这种混水摸鱼的方法通常能成功。

He often buys up stock in companies declaring bankruptcy; fishing in troubled waters generally pays off.
