Translate the ancient prose "Little Stone Pond"

Walking west from the mountain 120 steps, you can hear the sound of water across the bamboo forest, which seems to be the sound of Yu Pei colliding with Yuhuan. I am very happy. So I cut bamboo, opened a path, followed the trend and saw a small pool, which was particularly clear. The whole bottom of the pool is a stone, close to the shore, and the bottom part of the stone rolls out of the water, forming caves, islands, cliffs, rocks and other shapes. Lush trees, green vines, covered with twisted, swaying and falling, uneven, fluttering with the wind.

There are about a hundred fish in the middle of the pond. They all seem to swim in the air without any support. The sun shines directly on the bottom of the pool, reflecting the shadow of the fish on the stone surface at the bottom of the water, without moving; Suddenly he swam away again. Come and go briskly, as if entertaining tourists.

Looking southwest along the pool, the stream twists and turns like the Big Dipper, bends like a snake, and can be seen clearly. The situation on the bank of the stream is jagged and you can't see the fresh water source.

I sat by the pond, surrounded by bamboo and Woods. It's quiet and deserted here, which makes people feel sad and cold. It is so quiet and deep. As this place is too deserted to stay long, I wrote down this scene and left.

The people who traveled with me were Wu Wuling and Gong Gu, and my younger brother Zong Xuan. As followers, we are followed by two young people, one is Cui, the other is Forgive yourself, and the other is Yi Feng.

In the spring of four years in Song Renzong, Teng was demoted to Yuezhou and became the Zhizhou. In the second year, the government was smooth and the people were happy, and many things that had been abandoned were set up. So the Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, and the original scale was expanded. The poems of celebrities and contemporary people in the Tang Dynasty were also engraved on the upstairs. Entrust me to write an article about it.

I saw the beautiful scenery of Yuezhou, all in Dongting Lake. It embraces distant mountains and swallows the water of the Yangtze River. Water is boundless. The sun shines in the morning, and the yin condenses at night, and the scene is ever-changing. This is a magnificent sight of Yueyang Tower. The previous account has been very detailed. In this case, it leads to Wuxia in the north, Xiaoshui and Xiangjiang River in the south. Most of the relegated historians and poets come here to get together and enjoy the natural scenery. Can it be any different emotionally?

Like continuous rain, it doesn't clear up for many days, the gloomy wind whizzes past, and the turbid waves wash the white sky; The sun, the moon and the stars have lost their luster, and the mountains have disappeared; Businessmen and passengers failed, the mast fell and the oars broke; It was dark at night, the tiger roared and the ape cried sadly. At this time, when you board this building, you will feel homesick when you leave the country, worried about the slander of traitors and the ridicule of bad people, full of depression and neglect, and extremely sad and angry.

Just like a sunny spring day, the waves can't afford it, the blue sky and the water color set each other off, and it is green and boundless; Groups of sand, sometimes flying and sometimes stopping, beautiful fish, sometimes floating and sometimes swimming; Vanilla on the shore and orchid in Xiaozhou are rich in fragrance and green in color. Sometimes a large area of smoke completely dissipates, the bright moon shines thousands of miles on the earth, the floating moonlight is like shining golden light, the quiet moon image shows white, and the fishermen sing with each other. How can this happiness be endless! When you board Yueyang Tower, you will have a cheerful attitude and a happy spirit. I forgot all about honor and disgrace, and all kinds of feelings and expressions were extremely pleasant.

Alas! I used to explore the thoughts and feelings of ancient nobles, which may be different from the two thoughts and feelings mentioned above. Why? They are not happy because of the good environment, nor sad because of the bad experience; Being a senior official in the court and worrying about the people; Worried about his king in the remote Jianghu. This is also worried about becoming an official in the DPRK, resigning and living in seclusion. So, when will you be happy? They will probably say, "be sad before the sorrow of the whole world, and be happy after the happiness of the whole world." Alas! Without this person, who would I be with?

Chuzhou city is surrounded by mountains. Many peaks, forests and valleys in the southwest are particularly beautiful. From a distance, the lush, deep and beautiful place is Langya Mountain. After walking six or seven miles along the mountain road, I gradually heard the gurgling sound of running water, and the spring water was brewing between the two peaks. The mountain turns around, the mountain road turns, and the corner of the pavilion rises, like a bird spreading its wings, perching on the spring water. This is the Zuiweng Pavilion. Who is the man who built this pavilion? It's a monk and a wise fairy in the mountains. Who named it? The satrap was named after his nickname (drunkard). Taishou and his guests came here to drink, and after drinking a little, they got drunk, and they were the oldest, so they called themselves alcoholics. The taste of drunkards lies not in drinking, but in the mountains and rivers. Enjoy the pleasure of mountains and rivers, understand it in your heart, and pin it on wine.

Just like when the sun comes out, the fog in the forest disappears, the twilight clouds gather, the caves in the mountains are dim, and the darkness changes (alternately), that is, sooner or later in the mountains. Wildflowers are in full bloom, emitting quiet fragrance, and beautiful trees are luxuriant in branches and leaves, forming a rich shade. The weather is Gao Shuang, with frost, low water level and bare stones. This is the scenery of the four seasons in the mountains. Going up the mountain in the morning and returning at night, the scenery of the four seasons is different and the fun is endless.

As for the people who carry things on their backs singing on the road, the people who walk rest under the trees, the people in front shout, and the people behind promise that the old and the young will come and go without interruption. This is a trip of Chuzhou people. Go fishing in the stream, the stream is deep, the fish is very fat, and the wine is brewed with spring water. The spring water is sweet and pure in color, and the game in the mountains and the vegetables in the fields are placed in front of it in disorder. This is a satrap party. The fun of feasting is not orchestral music. The pot-thrower fights, the chess player wins, the wine glasses are mixed with wine scraps, people sometimes stand and sometimes sit and shout loudly, and the guests are (sincerely) happy. His face was old, his hair was gray, and he sat among the guests drunk. Taishou is drunk.

Shortly after sunset, the figures scattered vertically and horizontally, and the satrap returned, followed by guests. At this time, the trees are shaded, the birds are singing everywhere, and the birds are very happy after the tourists leave. However, birds only know the joy of mountains, not the joy of people. People only know the fun of following the satrap, but they don't know that the satrap is enjoying himself. People who are drunk and can enjoy happiness with everyone, and those who can be described in the article when they wake up, are the satrap. Who is the satrap? It's Ouyang Xiu from Luling.
