附錄三 馮友蘭的《逍遙遊》英譯文
The Happy Excursion
“Although the great is different from the small，yet if they all indulge themselves in the sphere of self-enjoyment，then all things are following their own nature and doing according to their own capacity；all are what they ought to be and equally happy.There is no room for the distinction of superior and inferior.”—Kuo Hsiang
In the Northern Ocean there is a fish，by the name of kun（鯤），which is many thousand li in size.This fish metamorphoses into a bird by the name ofp’eng（鵬），whose back is many thousand li in breadth.When the bird rouses itself and flies，its wings obscure the sky like clouds.
“The general idea of Chuang Tzu is to show the happy excursion，the indulgence in the way of nonaction and self—enjoyment.He，therefore，told the story of the extremely great and the extremely small，in order to illustrate the fitness of the nature of things.”—Kuo Hsiang
When this bird moves itself in the sea，it is preparing to start for the Southern Ocean，the Celestial Lake.
“The p’eng cannot move itself，unless in the ocean.The air cannot bear its wings，unless it reaches to a height of ninety thousand li.The P’eng is not doing so for the sake of curiosity.It does so，simply because large things must live in a large place；and in a large place，large things must be produced.Reason is naturally so.There is no mistake to fear；there is no room for conscious purpose.” —Kuo Hsiang
A man named Ch’i Hsieh（齊諧），who recorded novel occurrences，said：“When theP’eng is moving to the Southern Ocean，it flaps along the water for three thousand li.Then it ascends on a whirlwind up to a height of ninety thousand li，for a flight of six months’ duration.”
“Since the wings are large，they are difficult to move.They must mount upon a whirlwind in order to get up，and must get to the height of ninety thousand li，in order to be supported by the air.Since the p’eng has such wings，how can it suddenly get up，and get down at the height of tens of feet？Thep’eng has its own way of doing things，because of necessity，not because it likes to.The large bird flies with a duration of half a year and stops at the Celestial Lake.The small bird flies with a duration of half a morning and stops at the trees.If we compare their ability，there is a difference.But what each does is proper to its own nature；in this way are the same.” —Kuo Hsiang
