1. Three Thatched Roofs

Original:

Three thatched roofs, ten miles of spring breezes, orchids in the windows, and bamboo outside. This is a great pleasure, and the people who enjoy it do not know it. I'm not sure where the joy lies.

But the labor of the poor and sick, suddenly got ten days five days of leisure, closed wood, sweeping the bamboo path, on the orchid, sipping bitter tea, when there is a breeze and a fine rain, moist in the sparse hedges and narrow paths; ordinary guests do not come, good friends at every turn, but also suitable for the self-exposure to shock, this is the day of the rare also.

Where I paint orchids and bamboo and stone, to comfort the world's laborers, not for the world's peace of mind.

Translation:

Three thatched cottages, ten miles of spring breeze, from the window to look at the mountains of bamboo, this is how elegant things, can have such enjoyment of the people, but they do not know, it is really regrettable. And those who are ignorant and have no ink, in such a situation, they do not know where the joy is.

Only those who labor, suddenly have 10 days of leisure time, only to close the wood door, sweep the path, facing the fragrant orchids, sipping bitter tea, sometimes the breeze and rain, moisturizing the fence and the path. There is no annoying mundane things, facing a good friend who knows what he is doing, and sighing for having such a rare day of leisure.

So I paint orchids and bamboo and stones to comfort the people who are laboring, not for the enjoyment of those who are greedy for enjoyment. The bed is not dry, and the rain is like hemp. When the children sleep, they kick and kick, breaking the lining of the quilt. There is no dry place in the whole house, and the raindrops are as continuous as twine.

Secondly, the book of the deceased was cut off, and the color of the child was bleak. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it. My old bones are about to be thrown into the ditch, no official, no money only a wild, themselves laugh ah, when the madman old but more wild.

Third, the ring plug Xiao Ran, not sheltered from the wind and sun; short brown wear knot, fandangs repeatedly empty, Yanyu also.

Fourth, the son said: "The virtuous Huiya, a round basket of food, a scoop of water, in the ugly alley, people can not bear to worry about, back also do not change their happiness. Xianjia Hui also." --The Analects

Translation: Confucius said, "How noble is the quality of Yan Hui! He lived in a humble hut with a bowl of rice and a dipper of water. No one else could endure such poverty and hardship, but Yan Hui did not change his joy of learning. How noble is the quality of Yan Hui!"

Fifth, the son said: "rice sparse food and water, curved arm and pillow, music is also in it. Not righteous and rich and noble, in me as floating clouds." -- "Analects - Shui Er"

Translation: Eat coarse food, drink cold water, and bend your arm as a pillow, and the fun is in it. Riches and wealth obtained by improper means are like floating clouds in the sky to me.
