You must heard of me. I’m Li Bai. I’m famous for my poems, but looking back on my fall and exciting life, I’d say friendship has been just as important as poetry.
你一定听说过我 我是李白。我以诗闻名于世,但回顾我跌宕起伏、精彩纷呈的一生,我要说友谊与诗歌同样重要。
One of my friends is He Zhizhang who is forty-two years older than me. Once we were having such an interesting conversation that we decided to continue it over dinner. After finishing the meal, we realized that neither of us had brought any money. He immediately took off the golden tortoise (龟) decorated on his waist and used it to pay for our dinner. I knew the golden tortoise was given to him by the Emperor. His generosity touched me. This showed how much he valued our friendship.
我的朋友之一是贺知章,他比我大 42 岁。有一次,我们聊得很投机,决定边吃晚饭边继续聊。吃完饭后,我们发现都没带钱。他立即摘下腰间的金龟子,用来付我们的饭钱。我知道这只金龟是皇帝赐给他的。他的慷慨让我感动。这说明他非常珍视我们之间的友谊。
A letter started another of my friendships. The letter was from Wang Lun. He wrote to invite me to enjoy the ten -li peach blossom (桃花) scenery and the ten thousand restaurants in his area. I was expecting to see the special scenery and taste all kinds of food and wine so that I accepted this invitation at once.
一封信开启了我的另一段友谊。信是汪伦写的。他在信中邀请我去欣赏他所在地区的十里桃花和万家酒楼。我本以为会看到特别的风景,品尝到各种美食和美酒,所以立即接受了邀请。
But when I arrived to my surprise, I found that this clever man had used word-play to trick me into visiting him! The ten -li peach blossom referred to a lake named Peach Blossom Lake, which was about ten li away. The ten thousand restaurants were just a restaurant named Wan Jia , meaning “owned by Mr. Wan”! I was impressed by his cleverness, and we enjoyed a good laugh together.
然而,当我到达目的地时,却惊讶地发现这个聪明人用文字游戏骗我去拜访他!十里桃花指的是十里外的桃花湖。万家酒楼只是一家名为 “万家 ”的酒楼,意思是 “万先生开的”!我被他的聪明才智所折服,我们一起开心地笑了。
