祝zhù英yīng台tái女nǚ扮bàn男nán装zhuāng去qù杭háng州zhōu读书dú shū,路上lù shang遇到yù dào梁liáng山shān伯bó,两liǎng人rén结jiē拜bài成chéng兄弟xiōng dì。

Disguised as a boy to study in Hangzhou, Zhu Yingtai met Liang Shanbo on the road; they swore brotherhood.

同tóng窗chuāng三sān年nián,英yīng台tái处处chù chù留líu情qíng,山shān伯bó一yī点diǎn也yě不知bù zhī道dào她tā是shì女nǚ的de。

Three years together — she hinted constantly; he never guessed she was a woman.

英yīng台tái要yào回家huí jiā了liǎo,山shān伯bó送sòng她tā十shí八bā里lǐ路lù。英yīng台tái一路yī lù打dǎ比方bǐ fang:池塘chí táng里lǐ的de鸳yuān鸯yāng、井jǐng里lǐ的de影子yǐng zi,山shān伯bó都dōu不bù明白míng bai。

Escorted home eighteen li, she tried every riddle — the paired ducks, their double reflections in the well — in vain.

最后zuì hòu英yīng台tái说shuō:我wǒ家jiā有yǒu个gè九jǐu妹mèi,你nǐ来lái我wǒ家jiā提tí亲qīn吧ba。等děng山shān伯bó明白míng bai过来guò lái赶到gǎn dào祝zhù家jiā,英yīng台tái已经yǐ jīng许xǔ给gěi了liǎo马mǎ家jiā。

At last she said: I have a ninth sister — come ask for her hand. By the time he understood and came, she was promised to the Ma family.
