桃花源記英語翻譯
1. 桃花源記翻譯
東晉太元年間，有個武陵人以捕魚作為職業。有一天他順著溪水劃船前進，忘記了路程有多遠。忽然遇到一片桃花林，桃樹緊靠著溪流兩岸生長，長達幾百步(這兒的步在古代是一個計算單位,並非是現代的一步)，中間沒有其他的樹，野花野草鮮艷美麗，地上的落花繁多。漁人對此感到詫異。再往前走，想走到那片桃林的盡頭。
桃林在溪水發源的地方就到頭了，於是出現一座山，山上有個小洞口，洞里隱隱約約好像有光亮。漁人就離開小船，從洞口進去。開始洞口很窄，僅容一個人通過。又走了幾十步，突然變得開闊明亮了。這里土地平坦開闊，房屋整整齊齊的樣子，有肥沃的田地，美麗的池塘和桑樹竹子這類的景物。田間小路交錯相通，村落間互相能聽到雞鳴狗叫的聲音。那裡面的人們來來往往耕田勞作，男女的穿戴完全像桃花源外的世人。老人和小孩都悠閑愉快，自得其樂的樣子。
桃源中人看見漁人，便很驚奇，問漁人從哪裡來。漁人一一地回答。他們就邀請漁人到他們家裡去，擺酒殺雞做飯菜。村子裡的人聽說有這樣一個人，都來問消息。他們自己說前代祖先為了躲避秦朝時候的戰亂，帶領妻子、兒女和同鄉人來到這個與人世隔絕的地方，沒有再出去過，最終和桃花源以外的世人隔絕了。他們問現在是什麼朝代，竟不知道有過漢朝，更不必說魏朝和晉朝了。這漁人一個一個地為他們詳細說出自己知道的情況，這些人聽罷都感嘆惋惜。其他的人各自又邀請漁人到自己的家中，都拿出美酒和飯菜來招待。漁人在這里停留了幾天，告辭離去。這里的人告訴他說：「請不要把這里的情況對桃花源以外的人說。」
漁人出了桃花源後，找到了他的船，就沿著來時的路回去，到處作了標記。回到武陵郡里，去拜見太守，報告了這些情況。太守立即派人跟著他前去，尋找先前做的標記，竟迷路了，再也找不到漁人留下的標記。

6. 英文版桃花源記
晉太元中，武陵人捕魚為業，緣溪行，忘路之遠近。
Once a time there was a fisherman whose native land was called Wuling, in the Taiyuan Period of Time of the Jin Dynasty [265-420], China. He was walking along a creek-riverside, with no sense of how far away from his start.
忽逢桃花林，夾岸數百步，中無雜樹，芳草鮮美，落英繽紛；漁人甚異之。
All of a sudden, he was surprised to find a Peach-Blossom-Grove, and on both sides across the creek with hundreds-of-feet-wide land, no other trees but peach ones grow with fresh and sweet grass petals falling in riotous profusion.
復前行，欲窮其林。林盡水源，便得一山。山有小口，彷彿若有光；便舍船從口入。初極狹，才通人；復行數十步，豁然開朗。
Going on forward, he wanted to pass through the whole grove reaching a fountainhead near a mountain. There was a small hole seemingly glittering in front of the mountain. And he left his boat, entering the hole as an open door being so narrow that only one man could press himself to penetrate into it. Continuing for over tens-of-feet distance, he found the view instantly clearing up.
土地平曠，屋舍儼然，有良田、美池、桑竹之屬；阡陌交通，雞犬相聞。其中往來種作，男女衣著，悉如外人；黃發垂髫，並怡然自樂。
The land being spacious, houses set out in neat order. On the rich land with a beautiful pool, growing were bamboo, mulberry and the like. Everywhere was in good connections with crisscross footpaths between fields where cocks』 crying and dogs』 barking could be faintly heard, and all the farmers were plowing, sowing or weeding back and forth. The clothing of men or women was similar to the people outside. The people, old and young, felt happy and pleased with themselves.
見漁人，乃大驚；問所從來，具答之。便要還家，設酒，殺雞作食；村中聞有此人，咸來問訊。
However, they were terribly surprised to see the fisherman, and asked where he came from. The fisherman answered their questions one by one. And then he was invited to visit their own houses for dinner with wine and chicken cooked by themselves. As the news that the stranger was coming in the village was told, all the villagers wanted to inquire what had happened.
戰亂逃避 天下大亂自雲先世避秦時亂，率妻子邑人來此絕境，不復出焉；遂與外人間隔。問今是何世，乃不知有漢，無論魏晉。
The host told the stranger that his forefather evading the Qin-Dynasty』s social disorder with the turmoil of war, brought his wife, children and good neighbors to get to the desperate cave, and had never gone out and eventually separated from human beings outside. When he was asked to tell which dynasty it was, he did know nothing about the Han Dynasty and still the less he knew about the Wei Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty.
此人一一為具言所聞，皆嘆惋。餘人各復延至其家，皆出酒食、停數日，辭去。此中人語雲∶「不足為外人道也。」
However, the fisherman told him what had taken place outside, and all of
them sighed in astonished manners. Besides the first household, the rest
ones also invited him to visit their own houses respectively, entertaining
him with foods and drinks. He had stayed cordially for several days and
left off. The local people living in the Utopia-like cave said to him:
「Don't tell anything about us to anyone outside.」
既出，得其船，便扶向路，處處志之。乃郡下，詣太守說如此。太守即遣人隨其往，尋向所志，遂迷不復得路。
On purpose he recorded everywhere with a sign he had passed by as soon as he went out, paddling his boat along the waterway. Arriving at Wuling County, the fisherman called on the magistrate to report what he had seen there. At once the prefecture official sent men to detect the exact cave according to the marks made by the fisherman. However, the men were too puzzled to find the exact way.
南陽劉子驥，高尚士也；聞之，欣然規往。未果，尋病終。後遂無問津者。
Another respectable scholar named Liu Ziji from Nanyang Town was told about the mysterious spot, and he was joyful to have a try but died while seeking for it in vain. Afterwards, nobody made inquires about it.

白話文：他們自己說他們的祖先為了躲避秦時的戰亂，領著妻子兒女和鄉鄰來到這個與人世隔絕的地方，不再出去，因而跟外面的人斷絕了來往。他們問漁人現在是什麼朝代，他們竟然不知道有過漢朝， 更不必說魏晉兩朝了。
停數日，辭去。此中人語雲：「不足為外人道也。」既出，得其船，便扶向路，處處志之。及郡下，詣太守，說如此。太守即遣人隨其往，尋向所志，遂迷，不復得路。

寫作背景：
作於陶淵明晚年，約為南朝宋永初三年（422年）的作品。元熙二年（420年）六月，劉裕廢晉恭帝為零陵王，改年號為「永初」。
次年，劉裕採取陰謀手段，用毒酒殺害晉恭帝。這些事不能不激起陶淵明思想的波瀾。他從固有的儒家觀念出發，加深了對現實社會的憎恨。
但他無法改變、也不願干預這種現狀，只好藉助創作來抒寫情懷，以寄託自己的政治理想與美好情趣。

One day he was boating along the band of a river and forgot the time. All of a sudden, a peach forest appeared before him. All the peach trees were blossoming earnestly. The forest was flourishing along the river for severeal hundred feet, among which there were only peach trees. Grass was thriving and petals were shed gloriously. The fisherman was considerably astonished and went on to the end of the forest. At the end of the forest there was a hill standing ahead. The fisherman saw a cave that was indistinctly shining. The fisherman therefore left the boat and went through the cave. 初極狹，才通人；復行數十步，豁然開朗。土地平曠，屋舍儼然。有良田美池桑竹之屬，阡陌交通，雞犬相聞。其中往來種作，男女衣著，悉如外人；黃發垂髫，並怡然自樂。見漁人，乃大驚，問所從來，具答之。便要還家，設酒殺雞作食。村中聞有此人，咸來問訊。自雲先世避秦時亂，率妻子邑人來此絕境，不復出焉；遂與外人間隔。問今是何世，乃不知有漢，無論魏晉。此人一一為具言所聞，皆嘆惋。餘人各復延至其家，皆出酒食。停數日，辭去。此中人語雲：「不足為外人道也。」 The tunnel was very narrow in the beginning, only allowing a man to walk through.

There are also a variety of plants like mulberry and bamboo. The farm ridges were crossing each other and dogs were barking and chicken were crowing everywhere.

Afterwards, nobody went to seek the place again.

東晉太元年間，有個武陵人靠捕魚為生。（一次漁人）沿著小溪劃船，往前行，忘記了路程多遠。忽然遇到一片桃花林，溪水兩岸幾百步以內，中間沒有別的樹木，花和草鮮嫩美麗，地上的落花繁多。漁人對此感到非常驚異。(漁人)又向前劃去，想走到那片林子的盡頭。
桃花林在溪水發源的地方沒有了，（在那裡）便看到一座山，山邊有個小洞，隱隱約約好像有光亮。漁人就舍棄船上岸，從小洞口進入。起初洞口很狹窄，僅能容一個人通過。漁人又向前走了幾十步，一下子變得開闊敞亮了。只見土地平坦寬闊，房屋整整齊齊，有肥沃的土地，美好的池塘，桑樹竹林之類。田間小路交錯相通，（村落間）能互相聽到雞鳴狗叫的聲音。村裡面，來來往往的行人，耕種勞作的人，男男女女的衣著裝束完全像桃花源外的世人，老人和小孩都高高興興，自得其樂。
（桃花源的人）一見漁人，竟然大為驚奇，問他是從哪裡兒來的。（漁人）細致詳盡地回答了他們，人們就把漁人請到自己家裡，擺酒殺雞做飯款待他。村裡人聽說來了這么一個客人，都來打聽消息。（他們）自己說他們的祖先（為了）躲避秦時的戰亂，率領妻子兒女和同鄉人來到這個與外界隔絕的地方，不再出去了，於是就同外界的人隔絕了。他們問（漁人）現在是什麼朝代，（他們）竟然不知道有漢朝，更不必說魏朝和晉朝了。這個漁人一一的給（桃花源中的人）詳細地訴說他知道的事情，（他們）聽了都很驚嘆惋惜。其餘的人又各自邀請漁人到他們家裡，都拿出酒菜飯食來款待他。漁人居住了幾天，告辭離開。這裡面的人告訴他說：「（這里的情況）不值得對外界的人說啊！」
（漁人）出來後，找到了他的船，就沿著先前的路回去，（一路上）處處標上記號。漁人到了武陵郡，便去拜見太守，把這些情況作了稟報。太守立即派人隨同他前往，尋找先前所做的記號，結果迷了路，再也找不到通向桃花源的路了。
南陽有個劉子驥，是位清高的隱士，聽到這個消息，興致勃勃地打算前往桃花源。沒有實現，不久就病死了。以後就不再有探訪的人了。
