古文英译：郑人买履
古文英译：郑人买履大家好，本期我们将给大家带来寓言故事：《郑人买履》的英文翻译。
同时，在译文注释部分，我们将对翻译中的难点进行解释，希望对大家有所帮助。
原文：郑人有欲买履者，先自度其足，而置之其坐。
至之市而忘操之。
已得履，乃曰：“吾忘持度！”反归取之。
及反，市罢，遂不得履。
人曰：“何不试之以足? ”曰：“宁信度，无自信也。
”汉语译文：有一个郑国人想买鞋，他先量好自己的脚，然后把量好的尺码放在座位上。
到了集市上，却忘了带上尺码。
他挑好了鞋，对卖鞋的人说：“我忘了带尺码。
”于是就回家去取。
等他返回时，集市已经散了，他最终没有买到鞋子。
有人问：“你为什么不用自己的脚去试鞋呢？”他说：“我宁可相信量好的尺码，也不相信自己的脚。
”英语译文：A Man from the State of Zheng Bought ShoesA man from the State of Zheng wanted to buy himself a pair of shoes. He measured his feet and put the measurement on the seat. Then he went to the market. When he selected a pair of shoes that was to his liking, he found that he had left the measurement at home. “Sorry, I forget to bring the measurement here,” he said to the salesperson, and hurried back home for the measurement. But when he returned to the market, it had closed.Someone asked him, “Why don’t you try the shoes on to see if they fit well?”He replied, “I trust the measurement of my feet rather than my feet.’’英语译文注释：1．“吾忘持度”的意思是“我忘了带尺码”，这里的“带”应该理解为“带来、拿来”，应选用bring，指从别处把某物带到说话人所在之处。

古文观止中英对照
古文观止是中国古代文学的经典之作，其中包含了许多优秀的古文作品。
在古文观止中，有许多经典英译版本，以下是其中一些较为常见的版本：版本一：译文一：The book of ancient writings is a collection of ancient literary masterpieces. Among them are many classic English versions, some of which are quite popular.版本二：译文二：Ancient prose classic, an anthology of classic English translations, is a classic collection of ancient Chinese prose works.译文三：Ancient Chinese Classic, which includes a variety of excellent ancient Chinese prose works, has been widely translated into English.以上译文仅供参考，具体译文可能会因翻译者的翻译方法和语境而有所不同。
此外，由于古文观止中包含了许多不同的古文作品，因此这些译文可能无法涵盖所有古文作品。
此外，对于古文观止中的一些经典英译，也有一些有趣的对比和对照。
例如，《岳阳楼记》中的“不以物喜，不以己悲”这句话，可以翻译为“Not pleased by external things, nor moved by selfish desires.”或者“Not delighted by external things, nor distressed by selfish desires.”两种译法都表达了作者豁达、淡泊名利的情怀。
再如，《醉翁亭记》中的“醉翁之意不在酒，在乎山水之间也”这句话，可以翻译为“The intention of the drunken recluse is not on the wine, but in the mountains and rivers and forests.”这种译法既保留了原文的意境，又符合英语的表达习惯。

古文英译
3、古今、通假和词能消长
先秦两汉古籍中通假字很多，不明通假就会误译。
请看下例：八月剥枣。(《诗经· 七月》) “剥”就是 通假字，剥者，击也。
此句许渊冲译成： In eighth moon down the dates we beat. (八月 打下大红枣。)
再比较下面两个句子中的“说”字。 (1)成事不说，遂事不谏，既往不咎。(《论语· 八 佾》)。 (2)非不说子之道，力不足也。(《论语· 雍也》)。 第1句中的“说”字古义今义相同，该句可译成： It is bootless to discuss accomplished facts, to protest against things past remedy, to find fault with bygone things. 第2句中的“说”同“悦”，不明古今就可能将 “说”字译错。理雅各译成： It is not that I do not delight in your doctrine, but my strength is insufficient.

十篇经典古文
十篇经典古文一、论语论语是孔子及其弟子的言行录，由孔子的弟子及再传弟子编纂而成。
注释：例如“三人行，必有我师焉”，“三”在这里表示多人，并非确切的数字三。
翻译：很多人同行，其中必定有人可以做我的老师。
赏析：这体现了一种谦虚好学的态度，提醒人们要善于发现他人的长处并向他人学习。
在生活中，无论对方身份地位如何，都可能有值得我们学习的地方。
孔子作为儒家学派的创始人，他的思想核心之一就是“仁”，这种理念贯穿于论语之中。
二、孟子作者孟子，名轲，战国时期邹国人。
孟子的文章气势磅礴，富有雄辩性。
例如“生于忧患，死于安乐”这一篇章。
注释：“舜发于畎亩之中”，“畎亩”指田间。
翻译：舜从田野之中被任用。
赏析：这篇文章强调了忧患意识的重要性。
通过列举舜、傅说等古人在困境中成长最终成就大业的例子，来论证一个人要经历磨难才能有所作为，国家也一样，如果安于享乐则会走向灭亡。
三、庄子庄子，名周，战国时期道家学派的代表人物。
逍遥游是庄子中的名篇。
注释：“北冥有鱼，其名为鲲。
鲲之大，不知其几千里也。
”“冥”通“溟”，指大海。
翻译：北海里有一条鱼，它的名字叫鲲。
鲲非常巨大，不知道有几千里。
赏析：逍遥游充满了奇幻的想象，庄子通过对鲲鹏等巨大事物的描写，探讨了自由的境界。
他认为真正的自由是超越世俗的限制，顺应自然，达到一种精神上的绝对自由。
这种思想反映了道家追求自然、超脱的理念。
四、左传左传是一部编年体史书。
以曹刿论战为例。
注释：“肉食者鄙，未能远谋。
”“肉食者”指居高位、享厚禄的人。
翻译：有权势的人目光短浅，不能深谋远虑。
赏析：这篇文章展现了曹刿的军事才能和政治远见。
曹刿虽为一介平民，但关心国家大事，在战争中能够准确地把握战机，同时也反映了当时鲁国的政治状况以及民众对国家事务的关注。
五、战国策战国策主要记述了战国时期的纵横家的政治主张和策略。
像邹忌讽齐王纳谏。
注释：“邹忌修八尺有余，而形貌昳丽。
”“修”指身高。
翻译：邹忌身高八尺多，而且容貌光艳美丽。

Among any three people walking, I will find something to learn for sure. Their good qualities are to be followed, and their shortcomings are to be avoided.士不可以不弘毅，任重而道远。
仁以为己任，不亦重乎？死而后己，不亦远乎？An educated gentleman cannot but be resolute and broad-minded, for he has taken up a heavy responsibility and a long course. Is it not a heavy responsibility, which is to practice benevolence? Is it not a long course, which will end only with his death?士之为人，当理不避其难，临患忘利，遗生行义，视死如归。
A moral intellectual is one who escapes no danger in face of truth, discards personal interests in front of disaster, practices righteousness at the expense of life, and looks upon death as going home.逝者如斯夫！不舍昼夜。
The passage of time is just like the flow of water, which goes on day and night. 顺天者存，逆天者亡。
Those who follow the Heaven’s law will survive; those who go against it will perish.天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为，所以动心忍性，增益其所不能。
When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, harasses him by troubles and setbacks so as to stimulate his spirit, toughen his nature and enhance his abilities.天生我才必有用。
Heaven has endowed me with talents for eventual use.天时不如地利，地利不如人和。
Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are less important than terrestrial advantages, which in turn are less important than the unity among people.天行健，君子以自强不息。
