Cowherd and Weaver Girl

The orphan Cowherd lives on his brother and sister-in-law. His sister-in-law was mean and often abused him. He was forced to separate and feed himself on an old cow. The old cow is very clever.

One day, the weaver girl and the fairies went down to play and bathed in the river. The old cow advised the cowherd to meet each other and told him that if the fairies could not go back before dawn, they could only stay in the world.

The cowherd stayed by the river to see seven fairies. He found that the smallest fairy was very beautiful and had a sudden love for her. Remembering the words of the old cow, Niulang quietly took away the fairy's clothes.

The fairies took a bath and were ready to return to heaven. When the fairies found that their clothes were missing, they could only stay. The Cowherd made an encounter with the fairy Weaver Girl.

Later, they talked very well and understood their difficulties. The Weaver Girl became the wife of the Cowherd. After marriage, they farmed and woven, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Their life was very happy.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Heaven found out the matter and ordered the Queen Mother to escort the Zhinu back to heaven for trial.

Lao Niu couldn't bear the separation of their wives, so he broke the horns on his head and turned into a boat, letting the Cowherd chase his children by boat.

Seeing that she was about to catch up with Zhinu, the Queen Mother suddenly pulled out the gold hairpin on her head and drew a galaxy rolling in the sky.

Niulang could not cross the river, but watched and wept with Zhinu by the river. Their steadfast love moved magpies. Countless magpies flew to build a colorful bridge across the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that Cowherd and Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe River.

The Emperor had no choice but to allow Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet on Magpie Bridge once a year on July 7, and Magpie would also be around. Every year after that, Cowherd and Weaver Girl will meet on July 7.

老牛劝牛郎去相见，并且告诉牛郎如果天亮之前仙女们回不去就只能留在凡间了，牛郎于是待在河边看七个仙女，他发现其中最小的仙女很漂亮，顿生爱意，想起老牛的话于是牛郎悄悄拿走了小仙女的衣服。

仙女们洗好澡准备返回天庭，小仙女发现衣服不见了只能留下来，牛郎于是跟小仙女织女制造了邂逅，后来他们很谈得来，明白了各自的难处，织女便做了牛郎的妻子。

婚后，他们男耕女织，生了一儿一女，生活十分美满幸福。不料天帝查知此事，命令王母娘娘押解织女回天庭受审。

老牛不忍他们妻离子散，于是触断头上的角，变成一只小船，让牛郎挑着儿女乘船追赶。眼看就要追上织女了，王母娘娘忽然拔下头上的金钗，在天空划出了一条波涛滚滚的银河。牛郎无法过河，只能在河边与织女遥望对泣。

他们坚贞的爱情感动了喜鹊，无数喜鹊飞来，用身体搭成一道跨越天河的彩桥，让牛郎织女在天河上相会。天帝无奈，只好允许牛郎织女每年七月七日在鹊桥上会面一次，喜鹊也会在身边。以后每年的七月七日牛郎织女都会见面了。

Long long time ago, there lived a little princess named Niu Wa who was the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, the legendary ruler in ancient Chinese mythology.

精卫填海讲的是中国古代神话中炎帝宠爱的小女儿女儿的故事。

The littel princess loved watching the sunrise, admiring the spectacle of nature. She once asked her father where the sun rises. Her father said it was in the Eastern Sea and promised to take her there to see sunrise on a boat, but he had been too busy to do that.

女娃很喜欢看日出，喜欢大自然。她很想让父亲带她出去，到东海——太阳升起的地方去看一看。可是因为父亲忙于公事：太阳升起时来到东海，直到太阳落下；日日如此，总是不能带她去

One day, the little princess got a boat behind her father's back, sailing to the Eastern Sea. When she was away from the shore, unfortunately, a strong wind rose and overthrew her boat. She was buried by the surging waves, being drowned quickly.

这一天，女娃没告诉父亲，便一个人驾着一只小船向东海太阳升起的地方划去。不幸的是，海上突然起了狂风大浪，像山一样的海浪把女娃的小船打翻了，女娃不幸落入海中，终被无情的大海吞没了。

After her death, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird with white beak and red claws. Since it often stood on a branch, mourning herself sadly in the sound "jing wei, jing wei", people called it "Jing Wei".

女娃死了，她的精魂化作了一只小鸟，花脑袋，白嘴壳，红色的爪子，十分可爱，可发出的，却是“精卫、精卫”的悲鸣，所以，人们便叫此鸟为“精卫”。

Jing Wei hated the sea very much for taking her life. In order to revenge and keep other kids from being drown, the small bird decided to fill up the roaring sea.

精卫痛恨无情的大海夺去了自己年轻的生命，她要报仇雪恨。因此，她一刻不停地从她住的发鸠山上衔了一粒小石子，展翅高飞，一直飞到东海。

From then on, Jing Wei flew to and fro between the mountain and the Eastern sea, carrying a twig or a pebble and dropping it into the sea. Day after day, it never stopped.

从此以后，她在波涛汹涌的海面上回翔阒，悲鸣着，把石子树枝投下去，想把大海填平。

Puzzled by its behaviors, the sea said to Jing Wei with irony, "Stop doing that, poor little bird, it is totally meaningless! You'll never fill me up."

大海奔腾着，咆哮着，嘲笑她：“小鸟儿，算了吧，你这工作就干一百万年，也休想把我填平！”

To it, Jing Wei replied firmly, "I'll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it'll take me thousands of years! I'll fight on until doomsday!"

精卫十分执著，在高空答复大海：“哪怕是干上一千万年，一亿年，干到宇宙的尽头，世界的末日，我终将把你填平的！

The brave little bird kept carrying twigs and pebbles from the mountain to the Eastern Sea without taking a rest. 她衔呀，扔呀，成年累月，往复飞翔，从不停息。

have drinking

你可以找翻译器什么的翻译并修改下南柯一梦隋末唐初的时候，有个叫淳于棼的人，家住在广陵。他家的院中有一棵根深叶茂的大槐树，盛夏之夜，月明星稀，树影婆娑，晚风习习，是一个乘凉的好地方。淳于棼过生日的那天，亲友都来祝寿，他一时高兴．多贪了几杯。夜晚，亲友散尽，他一个人带着几分酒意坐在槐树下歇凉，醉眼惺忪，不觉沉沉睡去。梦中，他到了大槐安国，正赶上京城会试，他报名入场，三场结束，诗文写得十分顺手，发榜时，他高中了第一名。紧接着殿试，皇帝看淳于棼生得一表人才，举止惆院，亲笔点为头名状元，并把公主许配给他为妻，状元公成了驸马郎，一时成了京城的美谈。婚后，夫妻感情十分美满。淳于棼被皇帝派往南河郡任太守，一呆就是20年。淳于棼在太守任内经常巡行各县，使属下各县的县令不敢胡作非为，很受当地百姓的称赞。皇帝几次想把淳于棼调回京城升迁，当地百姓听说淳于棼太守离任，纷纷拦住马头，进行挽留。淳于棼为百姓的爱戴所感动，只好留下来，并上表向皇帝说明情况。皇帝欣赏淳于棼的政绩，赏给他不少金银珠宝，以示奖励。有一年，敌兵入侵，大槐安国的将军率军迎敌，几次都被敌兵打得溃不成军。败报传到京城，皇帝震动，急忙召集文武群臣商议对策。大臣们听说前线军事屡屡失利，敌兵逼近京城，凶猛异常，一个个吓得面如土色，你看我，我看你，都束手无策。皇帝看了大臣的样子，非常生气地说：“你们平日养尊处优，享尽荣华，朝中一旦有事，你们都成了没嘴的葫芦，胆小怯阵，一句话都不说，要你们何用？”宰相立刻向皇帝推荐淳于棼。皇帝立即下令，让淳于棼统率全国精锐与敌军决战。淳于棼接到圣旨，不敢耽搁，立即统兵出征。可怜他对兵法一无所知，与敌兵刚一接触，立刻一败涂地，手下兵马被杀得丢盔解甲，东逃西散，淳于棼差点被俘。皇帝震怒，把淳于棼撤掉职务，遣送回家。淳于棼气得大叫一声，惊醒过来。但见月上枝头，繁星闪烁。而梦中经历好像已经整整过了一辈子。 淳于棼把梦境告诉众人，大家感到十分惊奇，一齐寻到大槐树下，果然掘出个很大的蚂蚁洞，旁有孔道通向南枝，另有小蚁穴一个。梦中“南柯郡”、“槐安国”，其实原来如此！从梦中惊醒，此时他才知道，所谓南柯郡，不过是槐树最南边的一枝树干而已。
