A“Party”at the Orchid Pavilion我在蘭亭開“派對(duì)”

“六一”國際兒童節(jié)到來，很多學(xué)校都會(huì)舉行聯(lián)歡活動(dòng)（party）。在古代中國，文人墨客也很喜歡組織熱鬧、快樂的“派對(duì)”，他們稱之為“雅集”。歷史上最著名的雅集之一，便是東晉大書法家王羲之組織的“蘭亭雅集”，著名的《蘭亭集序》便誕生于此呢。那么，跟隨故事，讓我們?nèi)ァ疤m亭雅集”來一番深度體會(huì)吧。

It was the third day of the third lunar month in the year 353. I held a party at the Orchid Pavilion and invited my family and friends. In the end， 42 people joined， including me.

To enjoy the beauty of spring， I made it an outdoor party. The mountains and plants around were our decorations（裝飾）， and the earth（大地） served as（充當(dāng)） our seats. But what about a table for food and drinks？ We used a stream（小溪）！

We played a fun game called “Drifting cups on a meandering stream（曲水流觴）”. All of us sat by the the stream and filled our cups with rice wine（米酒）. Then we let the cups float（漂浮） on the stream. If a cup stopped， the person closest to it had to write a poem（詩）.

Oh， one cup stopped in front of my 10-year-old son， Wang Xianzhi（王獻(xiàn)之）. Haha， he was too young to write a beautiful poem. Let’s wait and see.

We wrote 37 poems that day and put them together in a book. I was so happy that I wrote a preface（序言） for the book. That’s the famous Preface to the Collection of Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion（《蘭亭集序》）.

在聚會(huì)之前，王羲之需要做好計(jì)劃。根據(jù)故事內(nèi)容，運(yùn)用你所學(xué)的英語知識(shí)幫助王羲之補(bǔ)充完整這份計(jì)劃書吧。
