Hi Eric & All,

Eric, your text was in Formal Hanzi. You can convert it to Chinese Simple

text in Google Translate at <http://translate.google.com/#zh-CN|en|> and

copy in the Hanzi text [formal form characters), [select Chinese to Chinese

Simplified before you press the translate button.

 

This outputs the following Simplified Chinese characters:

 

 

 

,,,

,

 

() ()

()

,,,,,

 

,

,, (

,)

 

You can re-enter the Simplified text and convert it to English. This gives a

poor-quality translation but if you copy the text and translation into Wenlin,

you can tidy it up to look something like this:

A titied-up version would read:
