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。
