《豫园》英译文

豫园

Yuyuan Garden

位于上海市南的豫园是著名的古典园林。花园的原主人姓潘，曾是明代四川省的布政使。花园的建造始于1558年，但由于资金短缺时建时停，二十年以后才建成。后来，潘家败落，其子孙急于出售，一些商人得以低价购入。以后豫园与城隍庙合并，成为其“西花园”。鸦片战争和太平天国时期，外国侵略者不止一次在此驻军，因此，历史上豫园屡经灾难，许多原有的风采不复存在。

Yuyuan Garden which is located in the south downtown of Shanghai is a famous classical garden. The former owner of the garden，whose family name is Pan, was a Buzheng Shi (the chief executive) of Sichuan Province in Ming Dynasty. The construction of the garden started in 1858, but it was not completed until twenty years later because it went on and off for lack of money. Later, it was bought by some businessmen at a low price from his desperate descendents when the family went into a decline. Some years after that it was incorporated into the City God Temple and became its “West Garden”. During the Opium War and the Taiping Revolution, the garden suffered repeated devastation by foreign aggressors (stationed there) and, consequently, lost much of its original grandeur.

解放以后，在人民政府的关怀下，豫园经历了多次修复。最近一次在1987年，恢复了其东西部分。豫园在1982年被列为国务院重点保护单位，是中国南方最优秀的园林之一。园内有亭台楼阁，有池塘和假山，景点超过40个，每天至少有一万人在园内游览。难怪人们说：“到上海不去豫园和城隍庙商场不算来过大上海。”

After the Liberation, Yuyuan Garden received restoration for several times concerned by the People’s Government, among of which the latest time was in 1987 when its east and west parts were successfully renewed. As one of the best of its kind in the south of China, the garden was listed in the key cultural protection units by the State Council of PRC in 1982. With over 40 scenic spots, such as pavilions and platforms, ponds and rockeries, the garden draws over 10,000 visitors every day. No wonder people say, “You can’t claim to have been to Shanghai without visiting Yu Yuan Garden and the City God Temple Bazaar.”

豫园前面，有一漂亮的莲池，池上有桥，桥中央有亭。湖心亭重建于1784年，90年前改为茶楼。这个上海著名的茶楼深受老年人的喜爱，他们喜欢在这里边喝茶，边聊天。茶楼下面的九曲桥，供游人在曲折的桥上缓缓而行，轻松地欣赏两边的景色，每次转折，都会让他们看到一种不同的景色。在一些特别的日子里，譬如阴历正月十五的元宵节，一般会在这附近举行庆祝活动，使这里更加变得熙熙攘攘，热闹非凡。

In front of the garden, there is a lotus pond with a pavilion in the middle of the bridge across, called the Mid-lake Pavilion, which was rebuilt in 1784．It became a teahouses 90 years ago. This famous tea-house is a favourite place for the elderly people, where they can enjoy chat leisurely with a cup of tea. Under the tea-house, there is a zigzag bridge, on which tourists can take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery from different angles. On special occasions, such as festival of lanterns, there are celebrations outside the garden, which make the garden an even more exciting place.
