桃花源 （宁波老师译） 各位游客朋友： Dear Friends, 大家好！欢迎来桃花源旅游观光！东晋诗人陶渊明先生的《桃花源记》使桃花源名扬天下。千百年来，桃花源以其幽静秀美的独特风貌，吸引了无数慕名而来的游客。 How is everything! Welcome to the Land of Peach Blossoms. It is the great work A Tale of the Land of the Peach Blossom by Mr. Tao Yuanming, a famous poet of the East Jin Dynasty, that gave the place the fame. During the past thousands of years, this land, with its unique beauty and tranquility, has appealed to streams of visitors, who come to pay homage. 我们现在登上的这座桥，叫“穷林桥”，以《桃花源记》“欲穷其林”而命名。传说当年武陵渔郎沿溪而行，置身于一片桃花林中，十分惊讶。 The bridge where we are standing now is called Qionglinqiao (The Bridge of the End of the Woods), which is named after the allusion of the fisherman’s hoping to discover where the peach trees ended from the above-mentioned great work. It is said that when the fisherman from Wulin rowed along the stream, he found himself in the midst of a wood full of peach blossoms, and therefore, he got rather curious. 前面那座精美的建筑物就是菊圃，建于明万历年间，原为渊明祠，因陶渊明爱菊，遂改名菊圃。 The elegant building in front of you is the Garden of Chrysanthemums, constructed during the reign of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.

As Tao was keen on chrysanthemums, the name of the place was thus changed into the Garden of Chrysanthemums 大家看门口有副对联：“却怪武陵渔，自洞口归来，把今古游人忙杀；欲寻彭泽宰，问田园安在，惟桃花流水依然。”是说当年武陵渔人，从世外桃源出来以后，把人间仙境透露出去，引来了古往今来的游人想找陶渊明先生问良田美景究竟在哪里，只有桃花流水千古不变。 We can see a couplet at the entrance which reads, “què ɡuài wǔ línɡ yú，zì dònɡ kǒu ɡuī lái, bǎ jīn ɡǔ yóu rén mánɡ shà; yù xún pénɡ zé zǎi, wèn tián yuánān zài, wéi táo huā liú shuǐ yī rán.” It says that when the Wulin fisherman came back from the Land of Peach Blossoms, he revealed the Utopia to others. Consequently, numerous people came to inquire Mr. Tao Yuanming about the location of the beautiful scenery. Of course, they got no answers but the silently flowing peach blossom stream. 走进菊圃大门，正中是一块渊明东篱采菊石刻，后镌《饮酒》诗，“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山。” Entering the gate of the Garden of Chrysanthemums, we will see a
