东晋太元年间，我在武陵靠捕鱼为生。有一天，我乘着船，沿着小溪前行。忘了我走了多远，忽然遇到了一片桃花林，长达几十米都没有别的树，小草的颜色鲜艳明丽，缤纷的落花，我感到十分诧异，就想要走到林子的尽头。
Imperceptible I arrived at grove. Discover here has a mountain, hill has a small hole, as if glazed line, walked ahead again a few paces, be suddenly enlightened, land very level off, the room is orderly, beautiful pond, mulberry, bamboo and so on. Work in people afield, of the men and women over there those who apparel to be worn with me is same.
不知不觉我到了林子尽头。发现这里有一座山，山有一个小洞，仿佛有光线，又向前行走了几十步，豁然开朗，土地十分平整，屋子整齐，美丽的池塘，桑树，竹子之类。人们在田野中劳作，那里的男女的穿戴跟我穿的一样。
The person over there is very enthusiastic, take out food and drink to feast I. The village knew to have me so the individual asks about a message. They say their ancestor is because avoid,when uprising with Chen Sheng, Wuan the war hides to here. So far, they also had not gone out again.

那里的人十分热情，都拿出酒食款待我。村里知道了有我这么个人都来打听消息。他们说他们祖先是在与陈胜、吴广起义时因避战争躲到了这里。至此，他们再也没有出去过。我给他满分/们讲着外面的故事，他们突然一问，现在是什么朝代？我给他们说，现在是东汉，我才发现外面发生的事情，他们一点都不知道，他们一连几天都拿最好的酒食款待我，我停留了几日，向这里的人告别，这里的人叮嘱我，千万不要告诉外面的人这里的事啊！
After I come out, think of, if I told this thing viceregal, I am then OK win promotion and get rich. Accordingly I make mark everywhere in along the road. Arrived fierce hill county told viceregal, viceregal and special excitement, sent a lot of soldiers to be used for my place, but did not find. Viceregal be ashamed into anger should kill me.
我出来后想到，如果我把这件事告诉了太守，那我就可以升官发财了。因此我在沿路处处做记号。到了武陵郡告诉了太守，太守非常兴奋，派了很多士兵为我所用，但是没有找到。太守恼羞成怒要杀了我。
I hear of later, the anchoret of an ambition nobleness knew this thing, he is headed for search, but did not find any traces as before. Before long he dies due to illness. Asked again with respect to person of it doesn't matter later, to now I also begin to suspect this is a dream only!
后来我听说，一个志向高洁的隐士知道了这件事，他前往寻找，但依旧没有找到任何踪迹。不久他因病去世。后来就没什么人再问了，到现在我也开始怀疑这只是个梦吧！(文/王晋)
