《愚公移山》的原文及翻译

太行王屋二山，方七百里，高万仞。本在冀州之南，河陽之北。

北山愚公者，年且九十，面山而居。惩山北之塞，出入之迂也。聚室而谋曰：“吾与汝毕力平险，指通豫南，达于汉陰，可乎？”杂然相许其妻献疑曰：“以君之力，曾不能损魁父之丘，如太行、王屋何？且焉置土石？”杂曰：“投诸渤海之尾，隐士之北。”遂率子孙荷，担者三夫，叩石垦壤，箕畚运于渤海之尾。邻人京城氏之孀妻有遗男，始龀，跳往助之。寒暑易节，始一返焉。

河曲智叟笑而止之曰：“甚矣，汝之不惠。以残年余力，曾不能毁山之一毛，其如土石何？”北山愚公长息曰：“汝心之固，固不可彻，曾不若孀妻弱子。虽我之死，有子存焉；子又生孙，孙又生子；子又有子，子又有孙；子子孙孙无穷匮也，而山不加增，何苦而不平？”河曲智叟亡以应。

操蛇之神闻之，惧其不已也，告之于帝。帝感其诚，命夸娥氏二子负二山，一厝朔东，一厝雍南。自此，冀之南，汉之陰，无陇断焉。

【译文】

太行、王屋（这）两座山，（占地）方圆七百里，高七八万尺，本来在冀州的南边，黄河北岸的北边。

北山一位叫愚公的人，年纪将近九十岁，面对着山居住。（他）苦于大山北面堵塞交 通，出来进去（都要）绕路，就集合全家来商量说：“我跟你们尽全力铲除险峻的大山，（使道路）一直通向豫州的南部，在汉水南岸到达，可以吗？”（大家）纷纷表示赞成。他的妻子提出疑问说：“凭借您的力量，连魁父这座小山都不能铲平，又能把太行、王屋这两座山怎么样呢？况且把土石放到哪里去呢？”众人纷纷说：“把它扔到渤海的边上去，隐土的北面。”于是（愚公）率领（能）挑担子的三个人（上了山），凿石开垦土地，用箕畚装了（土石）运到渤海的边上，邻居姓京城的寡妇 有个孤儿，才刚刚换牙，也跳跳蹦蹦前去帮助他们。冬夏换季，（他）才往返一次。

河湾上的一位聪明的老者讥笑愚公并制止他（干这件事），说：“你太不聪明了！就凭你衰残的年龄和剩下的力量，连山上的一棵草都不能毁掉，又能把泥土、石头怎么样呢？”北山愚公长叹说：“你思想顽固，顽固到了不可改变的地步，连孤儿寡妇 都比不上。即使我死了，我有儿子在；儿子又生孙子，孙子又生儿子；儿子又有儿子，儿子又有孙子；子子孙孙没有穷尽，然而山却不会增加高度，何愁挖不平？”河湾上的智老头没有话来回答。

手里拿着蛇的山神听说了这件事，怕他不停地干下去，将这件事告诉了天帝。天帝被他的诚心所感动，命令大力神夸娥氏的两个儿子背负着两座山，一座放在朔东，一座放在雍南。从此，冀州的南部，（到）汉水南岸，没有山冈阻隔了。
