First, the original text of the ancient poem:
The legacy of Lu Chongzhai? [Ming Dynasty] Ye Sheng
Lu Ru, a native of Zhongshushe, took his courtesy name as himself, his name was Chongzhai, and he was from Kunshan . Erudite and good at writing and writing. Literature, Han Liu, calligraphy, Ou Yan, were very conceited, and sincerity was rare. Or he asked for manuscripts and said: "I have a good ear for manuscripts. I used to be an advisor to the Hanlin Academy, and one day I was in a hurry to write "Xue Fu". Before the princes arrived, the boy swept it away. When Xiao Zhuangyuan saw it, he stuck out his tongue and walked away." Most of his writings have not been passed down to this day, but his behavior is quite eccentric. Chen Mengdong was inviting people to drink, and he came across a volume of Hu Zhongzi's essays at the entrance. During the meal and eating, he read the essay in his hand endlessly, and did not talk to the others. Although he laughed at it, he stopped paying attention. One day, the official from the countryside came to wait for him. He stayed in the reading pavilion for a long time. His son and nephew invited him again and said, "We have been waiting for you for a long time." He replied suddenly, "How do you know what book he has read?"
Second, comparative translation:
< p>Zhongshu Sheren Lu Ruzi is himself, with the name Chongzhai. He is from Kunshan. Your erudition has made him good at writing. Even compared with the calligraphy of Han Liu and Ouyang, he felt that his attainments were very high. It was very rare at that time. Someone asked him to write a narrative manuscript, saying that he was talented in poetry and calligraphy, which no one else could do. After Xiao Zhuangyuan saw it, Yao said that he left. There are not many people who write such articles now, and they are all greatWhen I came in, I happened to see Ziwen on the side of the lake. I let him eat outside and praised his article. He talked with everyone without caring about anything. One day, the squire and nobles came to their house and said that he had been studying. He never went out, so he asked his nephew to invite him out. He said that the guests had been waiting for a long time, so he said, how could they know when I read the book?
