《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记三十一》
大体上南北两列山，自州城西面八里就像门扇样排列而来，中间分开一个山坞，溪水流经坞中，到了这里东面就有石峰屹立在中央而山坞才到了头，溪水由石峰的南麓往东奔入峡中，就是昨天跟随农君进去的地方。
盖南北两界山，自州西八里即排闼而来，中开一坞，水经其间，至此则东石峰中峙而坞始尽，溪水由石峰之南而东趋岭中，即昨所随而入者。
To the general North and South lie two lines of mountains, eight li to the west of the prefecture city they line up like door panels, in the middle is separated by a mountain valley, a stream flows through the valley, when it gets here to the east there is a stone peak standing tall in the centre and the mountain valley ends, the stream from the southern foot of the stone peak runs east into the gorge, which is the place I followed the farmer into yesterday.

[原文]

昔者庄周梦为蝴蝶，栩栩然蝴蝶也，自喻适志与！不知周也。俄然觉，则蘧蘧然周也。不知周之梦为蝴蝶与，蝴蝶之梦为周与？周与蝴蝶，则必有分矣。此之谓物化。

[译文]

从前，庄周梦见自己变成了一只蝴蝶，轻盈地飞舞，自由适意。不知道自己是庄周。忽然醒来，却又成了庄周，不知道是庄周梦见了蝴蝶，还是蝴蝶梦见了庄周？庄周和蝴蝶，一定是不同的。这就是所谓“物化”。

[Modern Chinese Translation]

从前，庄周梦见自己变成了一只蝴蝶。蝴蝶在花丛中翩翩起舞，自由自在，快乐无比。庄周觉得自己就是蝴蝶，非常高兴。后来，庄周突然醒了过来，发现自己还是庄周。他不知道是庄周梦见自己变成了蝴蝶，还是蝴蝶梦见自己变成了庄周？庄周和蝴蝶，必定是有区别的。这就是所说的万物化生，万物都在变化。

[English Translation]

Once upon a time, Zhuangzi dreamed that he had turned into a butterfly. He fluttered about, happy and free, and didn't know that he was Zhuangzi. Suddenly he woke up, and he was once again Zhuangzi. He didn't know whether Zhuangzi had dreamed he was a butterfly, or whether the butterfly had dreamed it was Zhuangzi. Between Zhuangzi and the butterfly, there must have been some distinction. This is what is meant by the transformation of things.

**Explanation:**

In this translation, I used a variety of techniques to convey the meaning of the original text:

* **Literal translation:** I translated the core ideas of the text as directly as possible, while still maintaining the flow and readability of the English text.
* **Paraphrasing:** In some instances, I paraphrased the text to make it more understandable for modern readers. For example, I translated "栩栩然蝴蝶也，自喻适志与" as "he fluttered about, happy and free."
* **Adaptation:** I made some adaptations to the text to make it more culturally appropriate for an English-speaking audience. For example, I changed "蘧蘧然周也" to "he was once again Zhuangzi," which is a more familiar concept to Western readers.

Overall, my goal was to create an English translation that was both accurate and accessible, while still preserving the spirit of the original text.</s>
