家园 文言口语可看《世说新语》

《世说新语》记述魏晋风流人物的趣闻,其中对白很多。说到吃饭的问题其实就和现在的说法基本一致。例如《政事第三》里说:

存时为何上佐,正与謇共食,语云:“白事甚好,待我食毕作教。”食竟,取笔题白事后云:“若得门庭长如郭林宗者,当如所白。汝何处得此人?”謇于是止。

这里“时为”是过去时,“正与謇共食”是进行时,“待我食毕作教”和“当如所白”是将来时。翻译成英文如下:

Yu Cun was He Chong's assistant at that time. He was eating with Yu Jian (when Yu Jian submitted the petition.) "What you suggested is great! I will reply you after finish eating " Yu Cun said. After eating, Yu Cun took a pen and wrote on the back of petition:" If you can get a doorman like Guo Lin Zong, I will do as you suggested. Where can you find such person?" Yu Jian thus withdrew the petition.
