Step 1: 首阳山 = Shouyang Mountain; 昔尧帝所居 = where Emperor Yao used to live; 登之 = to climb it; 者 = one who; 百余步 = a little over one hundred steps; 无一寸平地 = no part even and level; 唯众松柏榛棘皆数十围 = the pines, cypresses, hazel trees, and other trees all are dozens of spans in circumference; 或株或连 = either single in rows or in clusters; 或偃或仰 = either bowing or looking up; 或挺或挫 = either straight or twisted; 或长或短 = either long or short; 或小或大 = either small or large; 以至于 = so as; 屈伸反侧 = to stretch or bend, to turn or lay out; 倾侧低昂 = to lean or tilt, to rise or be low; 千奇百态 = a thousand queer and varied shapes; 备矣 = all exhaustive.

Step 2: 登之者百余步 = one who climbs it a little over one hundred steps, meaning it only takes about one hundred steps or so to climb it up.

Step 3: 无一寸平地 = no part even and level, meaning there is no slightly even ground to walk on throughout the way.

Step 4: 唯众松柏榛棘皆数十围 = the pines, cypresses, hazel trees, and other trees all are dozens of spans in circumference, meaning all these trees on the mountains are of great size.

Step 5: 或株或连 = either single in rows or in clusters, meaning some trees are of one trunk while some are of many trunks.

Step 6: 或偃或仰 = either bowing or looking up, meaning some trees are bending or bowing while others are looking up, showing their flexibility and distinctive ways.

Step 7: 或挺或挫 = either straight or twisted, meaning some trees are straight while some are twisted or bent away, showing their different appearances.

Step 8: 或长或短 = either long or short, meaning some trees are tall while some are short, showing their different heights.

Step 9: 或小或大 = either small or large, meaning some trees are big while some are small, showing their different sizes.

Step 10: 以至于屈伸反侧 = so as to stretch or bend, to turn or lay out, meaning the branches of the trees can stretch or bend, turn or lay out, depending on the need.

Step 11: 以至于倾侧低昂 = so as to lean or tilt, to rise or be low, meaning the trees can lean or tilt, can rise or bow, depending on the need.

Step 12: 千奇百态 = a thousand queer and varied shapes, meaning all the trees' shapes look different and pretty.

Step 13: 备矣 = all exhaustive, meaning everything is here as imaginable.

Final English translation: Shouyang Mountain is where Emperor Yao used to live. To climb it is only a little over one hundred steps, but there is no single part that is even and level. The numerous pines, cypresses, hazel trees, and other trees are all dozens of spans in circumference, either single in rows or in clusters, either bowing or looking up, either straight or twisted, either long or short, either small or large. So as their branches stretch or bend, turn or lay out, lean or tilt, rise or bow, they present one thousand queer and varied shapes, all exhaustive</s>
