There was a little cave in the mountain. He entered in the cave. 初极狭，才通人。复行数十步，豁然开朗。 At the beginning it was very narrow, just enough for one man. He walked again for ten steps, it was opened and lightened. 土地平旷，[…] 有良田美池 […]。其中往来种作，男女衣着，悉如外人。 The ground was wide and flat, [...] there was a beautiful pond and a virtuous land. In the middle of it, there were backwards and forwards to cultivate, ...., all as strangers. […] 见渔人，乃大惊 […]。村中闻有此人，咸来问讯。 ..., so it's a great surprise... In the middle of a village, people learned to have it... They all came to be informed. 自云先世避秦时乱，率妻子邑人来此绝境，不复出焉，遂与外人间隔。 He thoughts that the previous generations have avoided the trouble during the Qin, ... 问今是何世，乃不知有汉，无论魏晋。 ...., then if for the Han we don't know, there are no doubt for the period Wei-Jin. 停数日，辞去。 .... Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
