古文观止(汉译英)(郑伯克段于鄢)(1)

当初郑武公从申国娶来妻子,就是后来的武姜,生了庄公和共叔段。庄公出生时分娩很难,惊吓了姜氏,因而给庄公取名为“寤生”,于是厌恶他。姜氏喜爱共叔段,想立其为储君,屡次请求武公,武公都不答应。ZhengWuGong took a wife from the state of Shen, (later Wujiang), and she gave birth to  Zhuanggong and Gongshuduan. When Zhuanggong was born, his mother had a hard time giving birth and was frightened , so she named him Wusheng and hated him. Jiang was fond of Gongshuduan and wanted to appoint him as the successor.She requested Wugong  many times, but he refused.
