3. Once, when Youren was constructing a new mansion, he invited the famous scholar Ji Xiaolan to inscribe a plaque for the main hall of his mansion. After a moment's thought, Ji Xiaolan wrote the characters "Zhu Bao," meaning "the bamboo is flourishing," in reference to the idiom "the bamboo is flourishing and the pine is robust."

4. 估计纪晓岚当时心里肯定是五味杂陈，不舒服，但也从侧面指出，清朝皇帝的专制思想太严重，整个国家都是由皇帝的个人意识决定的。有人说皇帝应该这样。不然他怎么统治？

4. It is estimated that Ji Xiaolan must have been experiencing a mixture of emotions in his heart at the time, feeling uncomfortable, but also indirectly pointing out that the autocratic thinking of the Qing emperors was too severe, and the entire country was decided by the personal consciousness of the emperor. Some people say that the emperor should be like this. Otherwise, how can he govern?

5. 半夜归心三径远，一囊秋色四屏香；床前未觉黄金尽，镜前难教白发长。?>

8. With my life, and by the vow of my deceased mother, I swear to you... (What a heavy vow this is) Ziqi: Your Majesty, being so exalted, have you not become accustomed to the most ordinary filial piety in the world? The Ministry of Works is to undertake major construction projects, and the Minister of Works, Jin Shangshu, has requested for funding from He Sen. He Sen, taking this as a topic, posed a couplet to Ji Xiaolan: The Water Ministry is on fire, and Minister Jin is undertaking major construction. This couplet contains the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Ji Xiaolan thought for a moment and replied: The northerners are southern in appearance, what does the Zhongtang have? This immediately angered He Sen to the point of near death.

10. When he was young, he particularly loved to read the stories of Liu Yong, Ji Xiaolan, Li Daoyuan, and Ji Gong.

11. 用今天的话来说，就是：纪晓岚你别没数！我看你有点文采，才让你领着编编《四库全书》；其实不过是把你当作戏子养着，给我解闷而已！你有什么资格在我面前议论国家大事？

11. To put it in today's language, it would be: Ji Xiaolan, you don't have a clue! I see you have some literary talent, so I let you lead the compilation of the "Four Books and Five Classics"; in reality, it's just like keeping you as an actor to amuse me! What资格 do you have to discuss national affairs in front of me?

12. 纪晓岚是乾隆时期的文臣，是《四库全书》的总编辑官，大家所了解到的，以为纪晓岚深得乾隆皇帝的器重，其实不然，在历史上，他远远不如和珅受宠的程度，甚至在乾隆皇帝根本就没啥分量。

12. Ji Xiaolan was a civil official during the Qianlong period and served as the chief editor of the "Four Books and Five Classics." As everyone knows, it is believed that Ji Xiaolan was highly favored by Emperor Qianlong. However, in reality, this was not the case. Historically, he was far less favored than He Shen, and even had little weight in the eyes of Emperor Qianlong.

13. 尔康：“都是我的错我的错，我不该和她一起看雪看星星看月亮，从诗词歌赋谈到人生哲学……我答应你今后只和你一起看雪看星星看月亮，从诗词歌赋谈到人生哲学……” 皇上，你还记得当年大明湖畔的夏雨荷吗？ 蒙丹与含香私奔，香父率兵追赶，在沙漠上堵住二人，众兵殴打蒙丹,同时拖走含香,含香身子拖在地上，仍奋力回头，眼含热泪大喊:“蒙丹！你是风儿我是沙！”而后口吟诗句:“风儿萧萧，沙儿飘飘；风儿吹吹，沙儿飞飞。风儿飞过天山去，沙儿追过天山去！” 从今以后，我的马背上只有你的位置，再也没有别人的位置了，我发誓！

13. Er Kong: "All my fault, all my fault. I shouldn't have watched the snow, stars, and moon with her, talking about poetry, songs, and odes, and philosophy of life... I promise you that from now on, I will only watch the snow, stars, and moon with you, and discuss poetry, songs, odes, and philosophy of life..." Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake from back then? Meng Dan ran away with Han Xiang, and her father led his troops to chase after them. They blocked the two in the desert, where the soldiers beat Meng Dan while dragging Han Xiang away. Han Xiang was dragged on the ground, but she fought back with all her might, tears in her eyes, shouting, "Meng Dan! You are the wind, and I am the sand!" Then she recited a poem: "The wind is howling, the sand is fluttering; the wind is blowing, the sand is flying. The wind flies over the Tianshan Mountains, and the sand chases after it over the Tianshan Mountains!" From now on, there is only your place on my horseback, no room for anyone else, I发誓!

14. 谁种潇潇数百竿，伴吟偏称作闲官；不随妖艳争春色，独守孤贞待岁寒。

14. Who planted a bamboo forest, hundreds of poles, accompanying recitation, is known as a leisurely official; not following the allure of spring colors, it remains loyal and waits for the cold of winter.

15. 经总纂修纪晓岚复勘过的文津阁藏本竟查出谬误之书61部

15. The Wenjin Pavilion edition that has been reviewed and revised by Jing Zongxuanxi Ji Xiaolan was found to contain 61 books with errors.

16. 忆息花间初识面，红袖半掩，石榴裙带，故将纤纤玉指偷捻，双凤金线；碧梧桐，深深院，谁料得两情何日教缱绻。

16. First met in the midst of flower memories, her red sleeve half-hiding, the peach skirt trailing, she stealthily twists her slender jade fingers, intertwining with golden threads of two phoenixes; deep in the courtyard with green paulownia trees, who would have thought that their deep affection would ever intertwine so intimately?

17. 曾经有一次，纪晓岚为他的朋友尹壮图求情，尹壮图是礼部侍郎，因直言议罪银制为朝廷带来的不利，而遭受乾隆的处分，要知道，议罪银制度是乾隆发起的，是乾隆填充国库的一种方式，不允许别人反对。

17. Once, Ji Xiaolan interceded for his friend Yin Zhuangtu, who was the Minister of Rites, due to his straightforward criticism of the silver penalty system, which he believed was detrimental to the court, leading to punishment from Emperor Qianlong. It should be noted that the system of silver penalties was initiated by Emperor Qianlong himself as a method to replenish the national treasury, and it was not permitted for others to oppose it.

18. 生我的，我不敢；我生的，我不淫。其余的无可无不可！

18. I dare not take life; I dare not indulge in lust for the life I give. As for the rest, I am indifferent!

19. 乾隆其实知道当时国外的情况，但他心里一直抵触，不想改变。因为一旦你改变或者进行政治改革，你的财富就会动摇。清朝虽然也有一个推动变法的皇帝，就是光绪皇帝，但是没有用，很快就被慈禧太后推倒了。也许乾隆早年确实有所建树，否则历史上不会有“康乾盛世”，但乾隆晚年是整个清朝的转折点，是急剧衰落的起点。

19. Qianlong actually knew the situation abroad at that time, but he always had a resistance in his heart, not wanting to change. Because once you change or carry out political reforms, your wealth will be shaken. Although the Qing Dynasty also had an emperor who promoted reforms, it was Emperor Guangxu, but it was of no use and he was quickly overthrown by Empress Dowager Cixi. Perhaps Qianlong did indeed achieve something during his early years, otherwise there would not have been a "Kang-Qian Flourishing Era" in history. However, Qianlong's later years were a turning point for the entire Qing Dynasty, marking the beginning of its rapid decline.

20. 你是流氓啊，你就是一个彻头彻尾流氓文人！

20. You're a rascal! You're nothing but a thorough-going scoundrel of a literati!

21. 乾隆皇帝是一个有争议的皇帝。有人说他是清王，有人说他是昏君。不管他是什么，至少他是一个极度专制的皇帝。什么叫很任性的人，很自重，听不进臣子的意见。

21. Emperor Qianlong is a controversial emperor. Some say he was a wise ruler, while others call him a ruler of ignorance. Regardless, he was at least an extremely autocratic emperor. What does it mean to be extremely capricious, self-respecting, and unwilling to listen to the opinions of his ministers?

22. 乾隆皇帝是人民群众熟知的，很大程度上是从电视上了解到的。在中国古代历史上的众多皇帝中，乾隆皇帝是拍照最多的一位。也是实际掌权时间最长的一个（当然要加上他当太上皇的几年）。

22. Emperor Qianlong is well-known to the masses, largely due to their knowledge from television. Among the numerous emperors in ancient Chinese history, Emperor Qianlong is the one who has been photographed the most. He is also the one who actually held power for the longest period of time (of course, including the years when he was the Emperor Emeritus).

23. 不料纪晓岚前来求情，乾隆勃然大怒：“朕以你文学优长，故使领四库全书，实不过以倡优蓄之，尔何妄谈国事！”这句话是啥意思？

23. Unexpectedly, Ji Xiaolan came to beg for mercy, and Emperor Qianlong was extremely angry: "I appointed you to lead the Four Treasuries because of your literary talents, but it's actually just to keep you as a pet, why do you talk nonsense about national affairs!" What does this sentence mean?

24. 众所周知，乾隆时期是清朝的关键时期。当时，工业革命在国外兴起，加速了世界格局的变化。而乾隆依旧闭关锁国，自得其乐。

24. As is widely known, the Qianlong period was a key period in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Industrial Revolution was rising overseas, accelerating the changes in the world order. Yet, Emperor Qianlong continued to isolate the country, content with his own state.

25. 人就是一张纸，你别揭穿，你要揭穿就那么回事。

25. A person is like a piece of paper, don't tear it open. If you must, it's just the way it is.

26. 客从江南来，来时月上弦；悠悠行旅中，三见光清圆；晓随残月行，夕与新月宿；谁谓月无情，千里远相逐。

26. The guest comes from the South of the Yangtze, with the crescent moon shining as he arrives; In the leisurely journey, three times I see the bright, round moon; In the morning, I follow the waning moon; In the evening, I rest with the new moon; Who says the moon has no feeling, as it chases me across a thousand miles.

27. 江南，千山千水千才子；塞北，一天一地一圣人。

27. South of the Yangtze River, there are thousands of mountains, thousands of rivers, and thousands of geniuses; while in the northern desert, there is one day, one place, and one sage.

28. 疯了，范进考中状元才疯，这倒好，没考上就疯了。

28. Crazy, Fan Jin went crazy only after passing the imperial examination and becoming the top scholar. But this time, it's quite the opposite; he went crazy before even failing the exam.

29. 将纪晓岚的遗物撕碎裹挟在引柴里点燃。

29. Tearing up Ji Xiaolan's relics and wrapping them in kindling, they set them ablaze.

31. 清朝的乾隆帝与何珅、纪晓岚、刘庸等名属君臣

31. The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and He Shen, Ji Xiaolan, Liu Yong, etc., were famous for their titles as ministers and their sovereign.

32. 叮当叮当，海螺烧香，精米细米，放屁是你！人生不过就是一个土馒头，和大人就是馒头馅。

34. Your Majesty, look! This is a clay doll I bought at the Little Moon Fair. She's so white and chubby, she really resembles you! Only, she's missing her head.

35. 还牵连到了纪晓岚、卢见曾、刘统勋这几位鼎鼎有名的历史名人

35. It also involved the famous historical figures Ji Xiaolan, Lu Jianzeng, and Liu Tongsun.

36. 通今博古阅微堂。铁齿铜牙利齿纪晓岚的下一句是通今博古阅微堂。这两句对偶句描写了能言善辩的纪晓岚，与纪晓岚的著作《阅微堂笔记》的丰富内容。上下对仗工整，构思巧妙。《阅微草堂笔记》原名《阅微笔记》，是清朝翰林院庶吉士出身的纪昀于乾隆五十四年（1789年）至嘉庆三年（1798年）间以笔记形式所编写成的文言短篇志怪小说。

36. Through the ages, ancient wisdom, and the hall of subtle observations. The next line for the phrase "Iron-jawed and copper-teeth, a sharp-tongued Ji Xiaolan" is "Through the ages, ancient wisdom, and the hall of subtle observations." These two parallel sentences describe the eloquent and articulate Ji Xiaolan, as well as the rich content of his work, "Notes from the Hall of Subtle Observations." The couplets are well-matched in structure, and the composition is ingeniously crafted. "Notes from the Hall of Subtle Observations" (originally titled "Notes from the Hall of Subtle Observations"), is a collection of classical Chinese short tales of the supernatural, written in the form of notes by Ji Yun, a scholar-official of the Qing Dynasty's Hanlin Academy, between the 54th year of Qianlong (1789) and the 3rd year of Jiaqing (1798).

37. 在封建社会，皇帝从来都是专制的。没错。要保持长期稳定，就要开阔眼界，听取各种意见。俗话说“忠言逆耳”，所以整个清朝没有一个真正贤惠的大臣，只有能干的干大臣。皇帝说什么，大臣只需要做好，而不是提出意见，更不用说提出反对意见。

37. In the feudal society, the emperors have always been autocratic. That's true. To maintain long-term stability, one must broaden one's horizons and listen to various opinions. As the saying goes, "Advice that is beneficial is not always pleasant to the ear," so there was not a truly virtuous minister throughout the Qing Dynasty. There were only capable ministers. Whatever the emperor said, the ministers were only required to execute it, rather than to offer opinions, let alone to express any opposition.

38. 圣诞节到了，愿我朋友财富多“圣”过李嘉诚，健康长寿“圣”过张果老，幽默机智“圣”过纪晓岚，快乐逍遥“圣”过活神仙。愿“圣”利永远属于你！

39. 紫薇含着泪委屈地说：“她说你们一起看雪看星星看月亮，从诗词歌赋谈到人生哲学……我都没有和你一起看雪看星星看月亮，从诗词歌赋谈到人生哲学。”

39. Zǐwēi, with tears in her eyes and feeling aggrieved, said, "She said you two watched the snow, stars, and the moon together, discussing poetry, songs, and prose, and even philosophy of life... I haven't watched the snow, stars, and the moon with you, nor have we discussed poetry, songs, prose, and the philosophy of life."

40. 圣诞节来到了祝愿我的朋友，财富多多“圣”过李嘉诚，健康长寿“圣”过张果老，幽默机智“圣”过纪晓岚，快乐逍遥“圣”过活神仙。愿“圣”利永远属于你！

40. Christmas is here, wishes for my friends, to be as prosperous as Li Ka-shing, as healthy and long-lived as Zhang Guolao, as humorous and wise as Ji Xiaolan, and as carefree and happy as an immortal. May the "holy" benefits always belong to you!

41. 顺水人情，我从来不做，也从来不受；凡是涉及准则，我是当仁不让；所谓令行禁止，这关系重大。

41. I never do favors that go with the flow of the river, nor have I ever accepted them; whenever it comes to principles, I do not shy away from taking a stand. As for the saying "command to do, command to stop," this is a matter of great significance.

42. 圣诞节到了祝愿我的朋友，财富多多“圣”过李嘉诚，健康长寿“圣”过张果老，幽默机智“圣”过纪晓岚，快乐逍遥“圣”过活神仙。愿“圣”利永远属于你！

42. Christmas is here, and I wish my friends a lot of wealth that is 'sacred' more than Li Ka-shing, longevity that is 'sacred' more than Zhang Guolao, humor and wit that is 'sacred' more than Ji Xiaolan, and happiness and carefree-ness that is 'sacred' more than the immortals. May the 'sacred' benefits always belong to you!

43. 一次，京城工部衙门失火，乾隆命令大司空金简召集民工重建。朝中有一官员百无聊赖，遂根据此事自题一上联：“水部火灾，金司空大兴土木。”由于此句含有“水、火、金、土、木”五行，所以很久都没人能够对出下联。当时朝廷中有位状貌魁梧、老炫耀自己是南人北相的中书科，他也挺爱对对子，然而他左思右想，却始终得不出下联。于是他求助纪晓岚，要纪晓岚帮忙想想。纪晓岚笑笑说：“对上此句不难，只是怕对出来有妨先生哟。”中书科急切地说：“啊，无妨无妨，只要对得上就行！”纪晓岚于是对曰：“南人北相，中书科什么东西！”纪晓岚用上了“南、北、中、东、西”五个方位，与“水、火、金、土、木”五行相对本来很合适，但放到一起就变成了一句骂人的话了。又如一个我们都知道的笑话：有一天散朝时，一个太监想听纪晓岚讲笑话，纪晓岚假装沉思半天，说：“从前有一个太监……”说了半句就不再说了。这个太监等了半天，就问：“底下如何？”纪晓岚答道：“底下一样没有。”闻者绝倒。 有一次纪晓岚入值南书房，有位老太监久闻纪晓岚大名，特地前来一睹风采，只见纪晓岚身穿皮袍，并按当时文人的习惯手持折扇。老太监出题：“小翰林，穿冬衣，持夏扇，一部春秋曾读否？”此联巧妙地将春、夏、秋、冬四季相嵌，且暗含对纪晓岚打扮的讥讽，非常不易回对。不料纪晓岚轻松应对：“老总管，生南方，来北地，那个东西还在么？”此事迅速被传为笑谈。这里纪晓岚公然拿太监的生理缺陷作笑料，有些缺乏厚道。再有一个，说的是纪晓岚当礼部侍郎时，一天尚书和御史联袂来访。几个人聊着聊着，突然外头跑来一只狗，这只狗还有个名字，叫“四儿”。看到这条狗，尚书心中突生一计，欲取笑纪晓岚，便道：“咦，你们瞧那是狼是狗（侍郎是狗）？”纪晓岚知道尚书是在捉弄自己，当下不动声色地说：“要分辨是狗还是狼有两种方法。一种是看它的尾巴，尾巴下垂的是狼，上竖是狗（尚书是狗）。”一旁的御史大笑道：“哈哈，我还道那是狼是狗呢，原来上竖是狗，哈哈，哈。”纪晓岚不慌不忙地接着又说：“另一种分辨的方法就是看它吃什么。狼是非肉不食，狗则遇肉吃肉，遇屎吃屎（御史吃屎）。”这下子连御史也噤声无言了。

43. Once, the Bureau of Works in the capital city caught fire, and Emperor Qianlong ordered the Grand Minister of Works, Jin Jian, to recruit civilian laborers to rebuild it. Among the officials at court, there was one who was bored and idle, so he came up with a couplet on his own: "The Water Bureau caught fire, Minister Jin starts a grand construction." This sentence contained the five elements of "water, fire, metal, earth, and wood," so no one could come up with a matching couplet for a long time. At that time, there was a grand secretary who was tall and muscular, boasting that he had a southern appearance but lived in the north. He was also quite fond of riddles and couplets. However, after much thought, he could not come up with a matching couplet. So he asked Ji Xiaolan for help, wanting him to think of a solution. Ji Xiaolan smiled and said, "It's not difficult to come up with a match for this sentence, but I'm afraid it might offend you, Mr. Minister." The grand secretary said eagerly, "Never mind, just as long as it matches!" Ji Xiaolan then replied: "People with a southern appearance, what is the Grand Secretariat?" Ji Xiaolan used the five directions of "south, north, east, west, and center" to counterbalance the five elements of "water, fire, metal, earth, and wood," which was originally a good match, but put together, it became an offensive remark. For example, there is a well-known joke that we all know: One day, when the court was dismissed, a eunuch wanted to hear Ji Xiaolan tell a joke. Ji Xiaolan pretended to think deeply for a while and said, "Once there was a eunuch..." and then stopped. The eunuch waited for a long time and asked, "What comes next?" Ji Xiaolan replied, "There's nothing below." Those who heard it were overwhelmed with laughter. Once, Ji Xiaolan was in the Southern Study, and an old eunuch who had long heard of Ji Xiaolan's fame came to see him. He saw Ji Xiaolan wearing a fur coat and holding a folding fan as per the habits of contemporary scholars. The eunuch proposed a riddle: "Young scholar, wearing winter clothes, holding a summer fan, have you ever read the Spring and Autumn Annals?" This couplet cleverly weaves in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and subtly criticizes Ji Xiaolan's attire, making it very difficult to respond. Unexpectedly, Ji Xiaolan answered it easily: "Old supervisor, born in the south, coming to the north, is that thing still around?" This incident quickly became a source of laughter. Here, Ji Xiaolan openly used the eunuch's physical defect as a joke, which was somewhat lacking in decorum. Another story is about when Ji Xiaolan served as the Minister of Rites, one day, the Minister of Rites and the Censor came together to visit. As they chatted, a dog named "Si'er" ran out. Seeing the dog, the Minister of Rites suddenly had an idea to mock Ji Xiaolan and said, "Hey, look, is that a wolf or a dog (the Minister of Rites is a dog)?" Ji Xiaolan knew that the Minister of Rites was teasing him, so he calmly said, "There are two ways to distinguish whether it's a wolf or a dog. One is to look at its tail: tails hanging down are wolves, and those standing up are dogs (the Minister of Rites is a dog)." The Censor laughed and said, "Haha, I thought that was a wolf or a dog, turns out it's a dog with its tail standing up, Haha, Haha." Ji Xiaolan calmly continued, "Another way to distinguish is to see what it eats. Wolves only eat meat, while dogs will eat meat if they see it and eat shit if they see it (the Censor eats shit)." This time, even the Censor was left speechless.
