Journey to the Peach Garden (2)

Hello everyone! Today, I tried to translate a classical Chinese article called "Journey to the Peach Garden". I will translate the original text in three parts. This is the second part of this article, and the first part can be found on my homepage.

They were very surprised when they saw the fisherman. People asked him where he was from. He answered the questions in detail. Then they invited the fisherman to go their home and made a big meal. The whole tawn came to visit and ask him some news when they heard that. They said that their ancestor came to this isolated place to escape from war in Qin Dynasty with his wife, his children and his neighbor, and they didn't go out anymore. Thus they began to isolate themselves from society. Some of them asked the fisherman what dynasty was there outside now. To his surprise, they didn't know that there had been a dynasty named Han, not to mention the Wei and Jin Dunasty. The fisherman told them what he had heard outside in detail, they all lamented. Each of the other people invited hin to their own home, they all took out a big diner to entertain him. The fisherman stayed there for a few days, then he said goodbye to the villager, but they all told him that this place wasn't beneath to the people outside the forest.

Journey to the Peach Garden (2)

Hello everyone!

Today, I tried to translate a classical Chinese article called "Journey to the Peach Garden".

I will translate the original text in three parts.

This is the second part of this article, and the first part can be found on my homepage.

They were very surprised when they saw the fisherman.

People asked him where he was from.

He answered the questions in detail.

Then they invited the fisherman to go their home and made a big meal for him.

I think by adding "for him" it makes the details less vague. For example the fishermen could be making the meal together with the people and we wouldn't know.

The whole taown came to visit and asked him for some news when they heard that he had came.

They said that their ancestor came to this isolated place to escape from war in Qin Dynasty with his wife, his children, and his neighbor, and that they didn't go out anymore.

Thus they began to isolate themselves from society.

Some of them asked the fisherman what dynasty was there outside now.

To his surprise, they didn't know that there had been a dynasty named Han, not to mention the Wei and Jin Dunasty.

The fisherman told them what he had heard outside in detail, they all lamented.

Each of the other people invited hinm to their own home, they all tookprepared out a big dinner to entertain him.

The fisherman stayed there for a few days, and then he said goodbye to the villagers, but they all told him that this place wasn't beneath to the people outside the forest.

I don't know what you mean by the last part. Do you mean that there is another village that is under this one? Do you mean that there is another village that knows less than this one does?

Great job! It's always great to hear about traditional stories from other cultures!
