⽜郎织⼥
The Love Story of Cowherd and Girl Weaver
很久很久以前，⼀个孤⼉跟着哥嫂过⽇⼦。嫂⼦为⼈刻薄，经常虐待他，叫他吃剩饭，穿破⾐，每天天没亮，就赶他上⼭放⽜。他没有名字，⼤家都叫他⽜郎。每天放⽜，⽜郎他总是挑最好的草地，让它吃⼜肥⼜嫩的青草；⽼⽜渴了，他就牵着它到⼩溪的上游，去喝最⼲净的溪⽔。
The story begins with a poor orphan who lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law after his parents passed away. He had
to herd the old ox and worked on the farm fields with his ox before dusk everyday.Since he had no name, he was named as Niu Lang, the cowherd.
Each day, Niu Lang fed his ox with the tenderest grass and cleanest water at the upper reach of the brook.
One day, when Cowherd went into the cowshed, he heard someone call him. The cowherd’s ox, which was actually an immortal from heaven because he made mistakes in heaven and was reincarn
ated as an ox to toil on earth, suddenly said to the cowherd: “You are a nice person.If you want to get married, go to the brook and your wish will come true.”
第⼆天黄昏，⽜郎翻过右边那座⼭，来到湖边的树林⾥。这时，远处传来轻盈的欢笑声，⽜郎循着笑声望去，只见湖边有七个姑娘正在嬉戏。
At Dusk, NIU Lang climbed over the mountain and came to the lake in the woods. There came light l
aughter from the distance. He followed the laughter and saw seven girls playing in the lake.
过了⼀会⼉，⼀个姑娘离开伙伴，向树林⾛来。
这姑娘是谁呢？原来她是王母娘娘的外孙⼥，织得⼀⼿好彩锦，名字叫织⼥，每天早晨和傍晚，王母娘娘拿她织的彩锦装饰天空，那就是灿烂的云霞。原来，这天下午王母娘娘多喝了⼏杯美酒，靠在宝座上睡着了。织⼥和仙⼥们见机会难得，便⼀起飞到了⼈间。
After a while, a girl left others and walked towards the woods. This beautiful girl was the granddaughter of the Queen Mother. As a great master of weaving Choi Jin (colorful brocade), she was named Girl Weaver. Every morning and evening, the Queen Mother decorated thesky with Girl
Weaver’s brocade to produce the bright cloud. That afternoon the Queen Mother got drunk and fell asleep on the throne. Girl Weaver and the fairies seized this chance and flew to the earth.
⽜郎和织⼥⼀见倾⼼，在树林⾥交谈起来。
织⼥见⽜郎⼼眼⼉好，⼜能吃苦，便决⼼留在⼈间，做⽜郎的妻⼦。
Cowherd and Girl Weaver appreciated each other and fell in love with each other. Girl Weaver thought Cowherd a kind and hard working man and resolved to stay in the earthly world and marry him.
从此，⽜郎在地⾥耕种，织⼥在家⾥纺织，两个⼈⾟勤劳动，⽇⼦过得美美满满。
Since then, Cowherd worked on farm and GirlWeaver weaved at home, industriously but happily.
转眼间三年过去了，⽜郎织⼥有了⼀⼉⼀⼥。
Three years passed at a blink, and this couple had a son and a daughter.
⼀天，⽜郎去喂⽜，那头衰⽼的⽜⼜讲话了。
它眼眶⾥满是泪花，说：“我不能帮你们下地⼲活了。我们要分别了。
我死了以后，你把我的⽪剥下来留着，碰到紧急的事，你就披上我的⽪……”
⽼⽜话没说完就死了。
One day, Cowherd went to feed the ox. The aged ox said to him, with tears in its eyes, “I can’t help you work in the field any longer. We will part soon. After I died, you decorticate my fur
and keep it. Once you are in danger, put my fur on. …”
牛郎织女的神话故事天上⼀⽇，⼈间数年。
天上王母娘娘⼀觉醒来，得知织⼥下嫁⼈间，⽓得暴跳如雷，
发誓要把织⼥抓回天庭，严厉惩罚。
One day in heaven, some years on the earth. The Queen Mother woke up in heaven and found Girl Weaver marry a humble man on the earth. She got so furious that she vowed to recapture Girl Weaver back to heaven and punish her severely.
天兵天将闯进⽜郎家⾥，来抓织⼥。
Heavenly generals and soldiers descended to the earth and broke into Cowherd’s home to recapture Girl Weaver.
⽜郎得知织⼥被王母娘娘抓⾛，⼼急如焚。
可是怎么上天搭救呢？
忽然，他想起⽼⽜临死前说的话，便赶紧出⽜⽪，披在⾝上，
然后将⼀⼉⼀⼥放在两只⽵筐⾥，挑起来就往外跑。
⼀出屋门，他就飞了起来。
Cowherd’s heart was broken when he knew his wife had been recaptured by the Queen Mother. But how could he save her? Suddenly he thought of what the old ox said before death. He took out the hide, put it on, put two kids in two bamboo baskets, and ran after the heavenly generals and soldiers. Once he ran out of his house, he flied.
他越飞越快，眼看就要追上织⼥了。
