醉翁亭记(原文+英译文)

行者休于树，

前者呼，

后者应，

伛偻提携，

往来而不绝者，

滁人游也。临溪而渔，溪深 而鱼肥。酿泉为酒，泉香而酒洌；山肴野蔌，杂然而

前陈者，太守宴也。宴酣之乐，非丝 非竹，射者中，弈者胜，觥筹交错，起坐而

喧哗者，众宾欢也。苍颜白发，颓然乎其间者 ，太守醉也。

已而夕阳在山，人影散乱，太守归而宾客从也。 树林阴翳，鸣声上下，游人

去而禽鸟乐也。然而禽鸟知山林之乐，而不知人之乐；人知从 太守游而乐，而不

知太守之乐其乐也。醉能同其乐，醒能述以文者，太守也。太守谓谁？ 庐陵欧阳

修也。

【破题】

欧阳修因政治原因被贬任滁 州太守，

《醉翁亭记》就作于这段时间内。欧阳

修在滁州实行宽 简政治，

发展生产，

使当地人过上了和平安定的生活，

加之当地

风景秀丽，这让欧阳修感到无比快慰。但是当时整个的北宋王朝 却是政治昏暗，

奸邪当道，

国家的积弊深重，

< br>这又不能不使他感到忧虑和痛苦。

这两方面的情感

都融合 在了这篇文章中。

【写作背景】

《醉翁亭记》作于宋仁 宗庆历五年（公元

1045

年）

，当时 欧阳修正任滁州太守。

欧阳修是从庆历五年被贬官到滁州来的。

被贬前曾任太常丞知谏院、

右正言知制

诰、河北都转运按察使等 职。被贬官的原因是由于他一向支持韩琦、范仲淹、富

弼、吕夷简、等人参与推行新政的 北宋革新运动，而反对保守的夏竦之流。韩范

诸人早在庆历五年一月之前就已经被先后贬 官，

到这年的八月，

欧阳修又被加了

一 个外甥女张氏犯罪，事情与之有牵连的罪名，落去朝职，贬放滁州。欧阳修在

滁州实行宽 简政治，

发展生产，

使当地人过上了一种和平安定的生活，

年丰物阜，

而且又有一片令人陶醉的山水，

这是使欧阳修感到无比快慰的。

但是当时整个的

北宋王朝

（仁宗是个好皇帝，

他的智慧不可估量

... ...

）

虽然政治开明、

风调雨顺，< /p>

但却不思进取、

沉溺于现状，

一些有志改 革图强的人纷纷受到打击，

眼睁睁地看

着国家的积弊不能消除，

这又不能不使他感到沉重的忧虑和痛苦。

这是他写作

翁亭记》时的心情，悲伤又有一份欢喜。这两方面是糅合一起、表现在 他的作品

里的。

The Old Drunkard’s Arbour

Ou-Yang Shiou

（

Herbert A. Giles

译）

The district of Ch'u is entirely surrounded by hills, and the peaks to the south-west are

clothed with a dense and beautiful growth of trees, over which the eye wanders in rapture

away to the confines of Shantung.

A walk of two or three miles on those hills brings one within earshot of the sound of

falling water which gushes forth from a ravine, and is known as the Wine- Fountain; while

hard by in a nook at a bend in the road stands a kiosque, commonly spoken of as the Old

Drunkard’s Arbour.

It was built by a Buddhist priest, called Deathless Wisdom, who lived among these

hills; and who received the above name from the Governor himself. For the latter used to

bring his friends hither to take wine; and as he personally was incapacitated by a very few

cups, and was, moreover, well stricken in years, he gave himself the sobriquet of the Old

Drunkard.

But it was not wine that attracted him to this spot; it was the charming scenery which

wine enabled him to enjoy.

The sun’s rays, peeping at dawn through the trees, by

-and-by to be obscured behind

gathering clouds, leaving naught but gloom around, give to this spot the alternations of

morning and night.

The wild flowers that exhale their perfume from the darkness of some shady dell; the

luxuriant

foliage

of

the

dense

forest

of

beautiful

trees;

the

clear

frosty

wind;

and

the

naked

boulders

of

the

lessening

torrent;

—

these

are

the

indications

of

spring,

summer,

autumn, and winter.

Morning is the time to go thither, returning with the shades off night; and although the

place presents a different aspect with the changes of the season, its charms are subject to

no interruption, but continue always.

Burden-carriers sing their way along the road, travellers rest awhile under the trees;

shouts from one, responses from another; old people hobbling along; children in arms,

children

dragged

along

by

hand;

backwards

and

forwards

all

day

long

without

a

break;

—

these are the people of Ch'u.

A cast in the stream, and a fine fish taken from some spot where the eddying pools

begin to deepen; a draught of cool wine from the fountain; and a few such dishes of meats

and fruits as the hills are able to provide;

—

these, nicely spread out beforehand, constitute

the Governor’s feast.

And in the revelry of the banquet hour there is no thought of toil or trouble. Every

archer hits his mark, and every player wins his partie; goblets flash from hand to hand,

and

a

buzz

of

conversation

is

heard

as

the

guests

move

unconstrainedly

about.
