醉翁亭記

歐陽修

　　環滁皆山也。其西南諸峰，林壑尤美，望之蔚然而深秀者，瑯琊也。山行六七里，漸聞水聲潺潺而瀉出于兩峰之間者，釀泉也。峰回路轉，有亭翼然臨于泉上者，醉翁亭也。作亭者誰?山之僧智仙也。名之者誰?太守自謂也。太守與客來飲于此，飲少輒醉，而年又最高，故自號曰醉翁也。醉翁之意不在酒，在乎山水之間也。山水之樂，得之心而寓之酒也。

　　若夫日出而林霏開，云歸而巖穴暝，晦明變化者，山間之朝暮也。野芳發而幽香，佳木秀而繁陰，風霜高潔，水落而石出者，山間之四時也。朝而往，暮而歸，四時之景不同，而樂亦無窮也。

　　至于負者歌于途，行者休于樹，前者呼，后者應，傴僂提攜，往來而不絕者，滁人游也。臨溪而漁，溪深而魚肥。釀泉為酒，泉香而酒洌;山肴野蔌，雜然而前陳者，太守宴也。宴酣之樂，非絲非竹，射者中，弈者勝，觥籌交錯，起坐而喧嘩者，眾賓歡也。蒼顏白發，頹然乎其間者，太守醉也。

　　已而夕陽在山，人影散亂，太守歸而賓客從也。樹林陰翳，鳴聲上下，游人去而禽鳥樂也。然而禽鳥知山林之樂，而不知人之樂;人知從太守游而樂，而不知太守之樂其樂也。醉能同其樂，醒能述以文者，太守也。太守謂誰?廬陵歐陽修也。

The Roadside Hut of the Old Drunkard

Ouyang Xiu

　　The District of Chu is enclosed all around by hills, of which those in the southwest boast the most lovely forests and dales. In the distance, densely wooded and possessed of a rugged beauty, is Mt. Langya. When you penetrate a mile or two into this mountain you begin to hear the gurgling of a stream, and presently the stream — the Brewer's Spring — comes into sight cascading between two peaks. Rounding a bend you see a hut with a spreading roof by the stream, and this is the Roadside Hut of the Old Drunkard. This hut was built by the monk Zhixian. It was given its name by the governor, referring to himself. The governor, coming here with his friends, often gets tipsy after a little drinking; and since he is the most advanced in years, he calls himself the Old Drunkard. He delights less in drinking than in the hills and streams, taking pleasure in them and expressing the feeling in his heart through drinking.
