Translations and annotations
Translating is the process of converting one language into another. Notes were added to the translated text by the translator according to the readers 'reading needs. They were explanations, explanations, or personal understandings that were not in the original. The content of the annotation was mainly to supplement background materials, introduce local customs, introduce people or specific time, introduce social and cultural knowledge, and explain what the translator thought should be added. It was an indispensable means for the translator to achieve the purpose of translation. In the practice of translation, the translator's "whether to annotate, when to annotate, and how to annotate" was often handled according to personal judgment and even preference. However, there were some standards for the application of "annotation" techniques, such as conciseness and clarity, understanding of the original text when the annotation must be made, targeted, clearly marked, appropriate location, and the form of annotation according to the length and subject of the original text (note in the sentence, note at the end of the page, note at the end of the text, etc.). Due to cultural differences, annotations were basically cultural annotations, except for some professional articles that annotate the language itself. In proverb and literary translation works, although annotations may affect the fluency of the translation, they played an irreplaceable role in conveying the cultural content of the original work. The novel "Listening to the Rain in Green Bamboo and Watching the Egrets" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Part of the original text and translation of "Heavenly Works" are as follows: " A man cannot live for long, but the grain gives birth to him. The grain cannot grow on its own, but the life gives birth to him." Note: To live, to survive, to feed. Humans could not survive for a long time. They could survive because they could rely on grains to feed themselves. However, grains could not grow by themselves. They needed to be planted by humans. Preface: " The heavens and the earth are endless, and there are tens of thousands of things. And things are also due to it. It is not human power to complete it without leaving it behind."

Among all things, there is no difference between the living and the beneficial, each half of which is contained.

However, the flowers of dates and pears have not been appreciated, but they have imagined the "Chu Ping"(1); The Fan Xianjing of the pot is good, but they talk about the "Ju Ding"(3); The painter likes to draw ghosts and evil dogs and horses (4), so how can Zheng Qiao and Jin Hua be strong?

The painter replied: It is difficult to draw dogs and horses. The king of Qi asked again, what is the easiest thing to paint? The painter replied: Painting ghosts and spirits is the easiest. Because dogs and horses were seen every day, it was easy to tell whether the painting was good or not at a glance. No one saw ghosts and monsters, so the painter could paint them however he wanted. Strong: Beautiful, beautiful. Ji Kang's "Fu on the Guqin":"The sound is strong and far-reaching." The sky is above, the earth is below, and there are all things in between.

However, since there are tens of thousands of things, how many can be recognized if they must be recognized by word of mouth? Among all things, those that are not beneficial to life and those that are beneficial to life are equally divided.

The classical Chinese translation of "Three Ominous in the Country" was: "It is unlucky for the monarch to not understand a virtuous person. It is unlucky for the monarch to not appoint him after understanding him. It is unlucky for the monarch to not trust him after appointing him."

It was the second kind of misfortune to understand but not appoint him. It was the third kind of misfortune to appoint but not trust him. The 'ominous' here referred to these problems.
Translations and annotations of the Flying Spring Pavilion in Xiajiang Temple
The original text and translation of "The Flying Spring Pavilion of Xiajiang Temple" are as follows: Original text: I have been watching waterfalls many times in the past few years. Arriving at Xiajiang Temple, it is difficult to decide whether to stay or not, so it is a pavilion built by Feiquan Temple. It is the human nature to be happy in the eyes and uncomfortable in the body, and it is impossible to stay long. Tiantai Waterfall is a hundred paces away from the temple; There is no temple beside Yandang Waterfall. Other places such as Kuanglu Waterfall, Luofu Waterfall, Qingtian Stone Gate, the waterfall is not strange, but the tourists are exposed to the sun, sitting on the cliff, can not calmly watch; If the roof is tilted, it is easy to say goodbye even if you are happy. Only the gorges and mountains in eastern Guangdong are no more than a mile high, but the steps are winding, the ancient pines are open and covered, and the scorching sun is not scorching. After crossing the stone bridge, there were three strange trees standing upright. Suddenly they reached the sky and condensed into one. All trees have their roots closed and their branches divided. It is strange that only the roots are divided and the branches are closed. Climbing the mountain halfway, the waterfall came down from the sky. There is a room beside the waterfall, which is the Flying Spring Pavilion. More than ten feet in length and width, eight windows are bright and clear, close the window to hear the waterfall, open the window to hear the waterfall. People can sit or lie down, can spread their arms and legs, can lean back, can put down the pen to grind, can boil tea to drink, with people's leisure, wait for the water's fatigue, take the Milky Way from the nine heavens, put it on a few seats to play. The man who built this pavilion at that time must be an immortal! Monk Chengbo is good at playing chess. I ordered Xia Chang to play chess with him. So the sound of water, chess, pine trees, birds, mixed together to play. After a while, there was the sound of a walking stick coming from the clouds. It was an old monk Huaiyuan holding a collection of poems about a foot long. He came to ask for the preface. So the chanting began again. The sound of nature and the sound of man are harmonious and harmonious. I don't want to enjoy the fun of watching the waterfall. Once I get here, the contribution of the pavilion is great! After sitting for a long time, the sun went down, so he had to go down the mountain and stay in the Jade Hall. Facing Nanshan, the clouds and trees are dense, separated by the Yangtze River, sailing back and forth, no one is willing to moor to this temple. The monk told me,"The common name of Xiajiang Temple is Feilai Temple." "How can a temple fly?" I asked with a smile. Only the dreams of the souls of the rest of the days may come to me!" "You can't believe it without proof," said the monk. If you love him, why don't you remember him?" "Yes," said I. So he wrote a few lines, one for his own survival and one for the monk. I have seen the waterfall many times in recent years. It is difficult for me to abandon it when I go to the Xiajiang Temple. It is caused by the Flying Spring Pavilion. It was human nature to feel pleasant to the eyes and uncomfortable to the body, so it was bound to be unable to stay for a long time. The waterfall of Tiantai Mountain is about 100 steps away from the temple. There is no temple beside the waterfall of Yandang Mountain. The other waterfalls are like the waterfall of Lushan Mountain, the waterfall of Luofu Mountain, and the waterfall of Shimen Mountain in Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province. The waterfalls are not strange, but the tourists are all exposed to the sun and squatting on the cliffs. They can't watch them leisurely. They are like friends they meet on the road. Although they are very happy (together), they are easy to part with. Only the Xiashan Mountains in eastern Guangdong were not more than a mile high, but the stone steps were winding up, and the old pine trees opened their canopy to shelter them from the scorching sun. After passing the stone bridge, there were three strange trees. They stood like the three legs of a cauldron. In the air, the three trees suddenly grew together. All trees had their roots together and their branches and leaves split apart. Only these three trees had their roots split apart and their branches and leaves merged together. It was really strange! When they were halfway up the mountain, the waterfall roared like thunder and poured down from the sky. There was a house beside the waterfall, which was the Flying Spring Pavilion. It was more than ten feet in length and width, and the eight windows were bright and clean. The sound of the waterfall could be heard when the window was closed, but when the window was opened, the waterfall would come crashing down. People could sit, lie down, sit with their legs stretched out, lie on their backs, put brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and boil tea to drink in the pavilion. With the comfort of man, he treated the toil of water and placed the Milky Way above the nine heavens in front of his desk to enjoy. The person who built this pavilion at that time was probably an immortal! Monk Cheng Bo is good at playing chess. I'll let Xia Shang play against him. Thus, the sound of flowing water, chess pieces, pine trees, and birds chirping could be heard. After a while, the sound of someone holding a walking stick came from the mountain. It turned out that the old monk Huaiyuan was holding a one-foot-thick poem collection and came to ask me to write a preface. Thus, the sound of reciting poetry rang out loudly again. The voice of nature and the voice of a human fused together. He didn't expect the fun of watching the waterfall to reach such a level. The Flying Spring Pavilion's contribution was really great! After sitting for a long time, the sun went down.(I) had no choice but to go down the mountain and live in Daiyu Hall. It was facing Nanshan Hill, surrounded by clouds and lush trees. The Yangtze River was in the middle, and sails came and went. Strangely, no one was willing to stop the boat and come to this temple. The monk told me,"Xiajiang Temple is commonly known as Feilai Temple." I smiled and said,"How can a temple fly?" However, my soul dream realm might fly over in the future!" The monk said,"You can't believe it without proof." Why don't you write it down?" "Okay," I said. Thus, he wrote these few lines of words. He kept one for himself and gave the other to the monk. As for the detailed notes of this article, due to the lack of specific reference content, it is impossible to provide accurate information. However, some common words could be explained simply. For example,"repeatedly" meant many times;"Jueshe" was difficult to abandon;"Jichu" was a posture of sitting with one's legs stretched out;"Yangyang" meant lying on one's back;"Yueming" meant boiling tea.
Translations and annotations of the first part of the two poems,"Boat at the Mouth"
Last night, I was on a small boat sailing on the river. It started to rain. I stood in the rain with a straw raincoat draped over my shoulders and looked around to my heart's content. All night, the wind howled and the waves surged. I thought to myself in the cabin. I wonder what the wind and waves would change the scenery outside. This morning, as soon as the sun rose, I tried to roll up the canopy of the boat and look out. I found that the scenery of the river bank had not changed. It was still the lush green mountains and trees. ** Note **: - " Shuikou " was located southeast of Shaowu in Fujian Province. It was previously called Min Pass. During the Song Dynasty, Shuikou Stronghold was set up. It was located at the place where Gutian Creek flowed into Min River. It was an important road for water and land transportation. - "Small Boat" referred to a small boat. - "Rain a coir raincoat" meant standing in the rain wearing a coir raincoat. - " How about the night?"
