世外桃源

The writer Tao Yuan Ming lived during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (365-427 AD). It was a time of war in China.

作家陶渊明生活在东晋（公元365-427年）。那是战火纷争的年代。

Tao Yuan Ming wished everyone could stop fighting and live in peace. He dreamed of a fable. It went like this…

陶渊明希望大家都能停止争斗，和平相处。他梦见了一个寓言。事情是这样的……

Once upon a time, a fisherman set out to explore a river.

从前，一个渔夫出发去探索一条河。

He got in his small boat and began to row. The fisherman rowed and rowed and rowed.

他上了他的小船，开始划船。渔夫划啊划啊划。

He got so caught up in the rhythm of the rowing, he lost track of where he was. Still, he kept on rowing.

他完全被划船的节奏所吸引，以至于记不清自己在哪里。尽管如此，他还是继续划船。

Along the way, the fisherman spotted some peach trees on the river bank covered with flowers.

一路上，渔夫发现河边有几棵桃树，树上开满了花。
