庄子（选二） The Carefree Excursion (excerpted) [战国]庄子 逍遥游（节选） By Zhuang Tzu 北冥有鱼，其名为鲲。鲲之大，不知其几千里也。化而为鸟，其名为鹏。鹏之背，不知其几千里也；怒而飞，其翼若垂天之云。是鸟也，海运则将徙于南冥。 南冥者，天池也。 In the northern ocean there is a fish, called the leviathan, which is no one knows how many thousand li in size. This fish changes into a bird called the roc, whose back spreads over no one knows how many thousand li.When the bird rouses itself and ilies, its wings are as clouds, hanging over the sky. When it moves itself in the sea, it is preparing to start for the southern ocean, which is the Celestial Lake, 齐谐者，志怪者也。谐之言曰: “鹏之徙于南冥也，水击三千里,搏扶摇而上者九万里去以六月息者也。野马也，尘埃也，生物之以息相吹也。天之苍苍， 其正色邪？其远而无所至极邪？其视下也，亦如是则已矣。 A man named Ch'i-hsieh was a collecter of strange tales. Chli-hsieh said; "When the roc travels to the southern ocean, it flaps along the water for three thousand li, and then it soars upon a whirlwind to a height of ninety thousand li, for a flight lasting six months.There is the floating air, there are the darting motes—liule bits of creatures blowing one against another with their breath.We do not know whether the blue of the sky is its real color, or is simply caused by its infinite height. Whichever it is, the roc will get the satne effect when it looks down from above. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/548bc7fbf66527d3240c844769eae009581ba2a7.html
