大观园 dàguānyuán Prospect Garden
曹雪芹 Cáo Xuěqín Cao Xueqin, reputed author of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" ("DRC")
封建社会 fēngjiàn shèhuì feudal society
大户人家 dàhù rénjiā large family
哇，这就是传说中的大观园。过来，我帮你拍张照片。
wā ，zhè jiùshì chuánshuō zhōng de dàguānyuán 。guòlai ，wǒ bāng nǐ pāi zhāng zhàopiàn 。
Wow, this is the legendary Prospect Garden. Come on over and I'll take your picture.
不拍不拍，我们先看吧。曹雪芹真是神了，一本书里，吃的、用的、住的都写得那么精致，这个大观园就是人们根据书里的描写建的。
bù pāi bù pāi ，wǒmen xiān kàn ba 。Cáo Xuěqín zhēnshì shén le ，yī běn shū lǐ ，chī de 、yòng de 、zhù de dōu xiě de nàme jīngzhì ，zhè ge dàguānyuán jiùshì rénmen gēnjù shū lǐ de miáoxiě jiàn de 。
Let's not take pictures. Let's look around first. Cao Xueqin was just amazing. In a single book he wrote so exquisitely about things for eating, using and living in. This Prospect Garden was built according to his description in the book.
可能他真的是封建社会大户人家的少爷吧！要不他怎么会知道这么多？
to be able to tā zhēnde shì fēngjiàn shèhuì dàhù rénjiā de shàoye ba ！yàobu tā zénme huì zhīdào zhème duō ？
Maybe he really was a young scion of a powerful family in feudal society. Otherwise, how would he know so much?
也许吧。哎，这么大，这么漂亮！我们从哪边走呢？
yěxǔ ba 。āi ，zhème dà ，zhème piàoliang ！wǒmen cóng nǎbiān zǒu ne ？
Maybe...Oh, it's so big, and so beautiful! Where should we start from?
