传说西湖水永远不会干涸是因为湖底住着一头金牛。

It is said the water in West Lake would never dry up because there lived a golden cow in the lake.

有个贪心的财主想把金牛占为己有,叫家丁在西湖边架起十部水车,车了七七四十九天,把湖水抽干了,真的看见了一头金牛。家丁们试图把金牛绑走,可用尽全身力气,金牛巍然不动。财主急了就亲自跑到湖底帮忙,突然,金牛打了个喷嚏,霎时,大雨倾盆,湖水猛涨,财主和他的家人全部被淹死了。那以后,金牛再没出现过,但湖中长出了一种水草,叶子椭圆像鸡蛋,浑身滑溜溜的,一到秋天,开出金黄色的鲜花,铺满湖面,美极了。有人说,这水草是金牛的奶汁变的。

A greedy rich man wanted to rob the cow for himself.he asked his servants to drain the water with ten waterwheels.They went to the bottom of the lake and tried to move the golden cow in vain.In a hurry,the greed rich man dashed to the lake bottom and gave a hand in person.Suddenly,the cow sneezed,the cloudburst came,the rich man,and his family were all drowned.After that,the cow disappeared,and a kind of float grass grew up in the lake.The leaves were oval,like the egg.Someone said that the grass was made from the milk of the golden cow.

那一年,杭州给皇帝进宫了满满的两桶水草,皇帝吃了很喜欢。可人哪有吃草的说法,皇帝就给水草起了个名儿,叫“莼菜”,就是纯美营养的菜。

The officials of hangzhou gave the grass as tribute to the emperor.The Emperor liked it very much.But he didn’t like the name “float grass”as it stood for the forage,so he bestowed a name to it “Chuncai”,which means pure and nourishing vegetable.

中文里面有个很美的词叫“莼鲈之思”,它来自于一个典故。

There is a beautiful Chinese word “missing Chuncai and weever”and it comes from an interesting story.

晋代的张翰,“才高八斗,善属文”,在洛阳做官的时候,因见“秋风起,不由思恋起家乡的莼羹鲈鱼脍”,说:“人世贵在得志,何能羁宦数千里,以要名爵乎?”于是,便辞官还乡,后人就把这种思乡之情成为“莼鲈之思”。在外的游子,最为牵挂的三件事——倚门的老母、临窗的娇妻,和家乡的莼菜羹。明代有一首《煮莼歌》:“一朝能作千里莼,顿使吾徒摇食指;琉璃碗盛碧玉光,五味纷错生馨香;出盘四座已惊叹,举箸不敢争先尝;浅斟细嚼意未足,指点杯盘恋余香”。

Zhanghan was an intelligent scholar who was excelled in prose in the Western Jin Dynasty (265-316A.D.).When he was an official in the capital Luoyang in the north of China,one day in autumn he felt a puff of cold wind,suddenly he missed the Chuncai and weever of his hometown.Then he wrote,“A man who gains reputation in the government is respected,but is it worthy to obtain fame and interest thousands of miles away from home?”So he resigned and went home.From then on,when a man is out,we always say he has three things to miss:dear mother,dear wife and Chuncai.
