Translation of the text of the Drunken Man s Pavilion, translation of the first paragraph of the Dru

The Drunkard Pavilion. The city of Chuzhou is surrounded by mountains. The various peaks in the southwest of the city, the woods and valleys are particularly beautiful, and the trees that are luxuriant, deep and beautiful in the distance are Langya Mountain.

Walking along the mountain for six or seven miles, I gradually heard the sound of gurgling water, and from between the two peaks, it was a brewing spring. The mountain is looping, the road also follows the turn, there is a pavilion with four corners upturned, like a bird spreading its wings, standing high above the spring, is the drunken man's pavilion. Who was the one who built the pavilion?

It was a monk in the mountains called Zhixian. Who was the person who named the pavilion? It was Taishou who named it after his alias (Drunkard).

Taishou and the guests came here to drink, and they got drunk after not drinking much, and they were the oldest in the banquet, so they named themselves drunkards. The taste of a drunkard is not in drinking, but in the mountains and rivers. The pleasure of appreciating the mountains and rivers is appreciated in the heart and pinned on drinking.

When the sun came out, the fog in the woods dispersed, and the clouds of smoke gathered, and the valley seemed dark, and the morning was dark and bright, and the twilight was bright and dark, dark and bright, and the morning and evening in the mountains varied. (Spring) Wild flowers bloom with a quiet fragrance, (summer) good trees flourish to form a rich green shade, (autumn) the wind is high and frosty, (winter) the water flow decreases, and stones are exposed to the water, which is the different scenery of the four seasons in the mountains. When you go out in the morning and come back in the evening, the scenery of the four seasons is different, and the fun is endless.

As for the people carrying things on their backs singing on the road, the people walking are resting under the trees, the people in front are calling, the people in the back are answering, and the pedestrians of all ages and children are coming and going in an endless stream, and it is the people of Chuzhou who are playing. Come to the stream to fish, the stream is deep, the fish are fat, and the water from the brewing spring is used to make wine, the spring water is sweet, the wine color is clear and translucent, the wild game and wild vegetables in the mountains, and the messy appearance is the banquet of Taishou. The pleasure of drinking at the banquet is not in the **, (but in the fact that the person who throws the pot hits, the person who plays chess wins), (I see) the wine glass and the wine chip are intertwined, (the guests) sometimes standing, sometimes sitting, the scene of loud noise, that is the guests are (enjoying) joy.

The old face, gray hair, and drunkenness in the midst of the guests, it was too drunk.

Soon the sun was about to set, and the figures were sparse and falling, so Taishou went down the mountain and went home, and the guests followed suit. The branches of the trees are dense and shady, and there are birds chirping up and down the trees, which is the sound of birds singing when visitors leave. But the birds only know the joy of the mountains and forests, but they do not know the happiness of tourists; The guests know the joy of traveling with Taishou, but they don't understand that Taishou is happy with the happiness of tourists.

Chuzhou City is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the various peaks (mountains) in its southwest direction, the woods and valleys are particularly beautiful, from a distance, the lush vegetation and deep and beautiful place is Langya Mountain. Walking along the mountain road for six or seven miles, I gradually heard the sound of gurgling water, and (and saw a stream of water) rushing down from between the two peaks, it was a brewing spring. The mountain is looping, the road also follows the turn, there is a pavilion with four corners up, like a bird spreading its wings on the edge of the spring, it is the drunken man's pavilion.

Who built the pavilion? It's a monk in the mountains. Who named it?

It was Taishou named after his alias, Taishou came here with the guests to drink, and he was always drunk when he drank less, and he was the oldest, so he gave himself the nickname "Drunkard". The drunkard's mind is not in the wine, but in the mountains and waters. The pleasure of appreciating the mountains and rivers is just a matter of feeling in the heart (understanding in the heart) and pinning it on the wine.

To say that when the sun comes out and the fog in the woods disperses, and the clouds of smoke gather, and the valley caverns appear dark, this scene of alternating light and darkness (morning from darkness to light, twilight from light to dark, dark or light, and changeable) is the early morning and evening in the mountains. (Spring) Wild flowers bloom and give off a faint fragrance, (Summer) beautiful trees are lush with foliage, forming a rich green shade, autumn winds are mighty, the weather is fine, frost and dew are white, the water flow is reduced, and the stones are revealed, which is the scenery of the four seasons in the mountains. Entering the mountains in the morning and returning in the evening, the scenery of the four seasons is different, and the happiness is endless.

As for the people who carry things on the road singing, the people who are in a hurry are resting under the trees, the people in front call, the people in the back agree, the old people bend over, and the children are led by adults, coming and going, in an endless stream, this is the outing of the people of Chuzhou. Come to the stream to fish, the stream is deep, and the fish are fat; Use spring water to make wine, and the spring water is sweet and clear; The wild game and wild vegetables in the mountains are mixed (scattered) in front of you, this is the wine banquet of Taishou. The fun at the banquet is not in the ** (no orchestral instruments), the pitcher is shot, the chess player wins, the wine glass and the wine chip are intricately intertwined, or get up or sit loudly, it is the happy appearance of the guests.

The one with an old face, full of gray hair, and a drunken man sitting in the middle of the crowd, is too drunk.

Soon the sunset fell on the west mountain, and the shadows of the people were scattered all over the place. The branches and leaves of the woods are dense and shady, and there is a cry up and down, which is the departure of the visitors and the birds are singing, but the birds (only) know the fun of the mountains and forests, but do not know the fun of the tourists, the visitors only know the fun of playing with the Taishou, but they do not know that the Taishou regards their happiness as (their own) happiness. If you are drunk, you can rejoice with everyone, and when you wake up, you can write an article to describe this happiness.

Who is Taishou? It's Ouyang Xiu from Luling.

Walking along the mountain road for six or seven miles, I gradually heard the sound of gurgling water, and saw the flowing water pouring out from between the two peaks, which was a brewing spring.

The pleasure of appreciating the mountains and rivers is appreciated in the heart and pinned on drinking.

Or as the sun comes out, and the mist of the woods dissipates; When the smoke gathered, the valley became dark. Alternate between dark and bright, morning and evening in the mountains. Wildflowers bloom with a delicate fragrance; The beautiful trees flourish and grow, forming a rich green shade; The sky is high and cool, the frost is white, and in winter, the stream falls, revealing stones, which is the scene of the four seasons in the mountains.

Go into the mountains in the morning and return to the city in the evening. The scenery is different in the four seasons, and the fun is endless.

As for those who carry things on their backs sing in the road, and those who walk rest under the trees, and those who are in front shout, and those who are behind answer; The old sedan chair man bent over, and the children were led by adults. There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and it is Chuzhou people who are traveling.
