河南少室山山勢(shì)頗陡，山道卻是一長(zhǎng)列寬大的石級(jí)，規(guī)模宏偉，工程著實(shí)不小，那是唐朝高宗為臨幸少林寺而開鑿，共長(zhǎng)八里。郭襄騎著青驢委折而上，只見對(duì)面山上五道瀑布飛珠濺玉，奔瀉而下，再俯視群山，已如蟻蛭。
Mount ShaoShi of HeNan province were a set of large stone steps, these steps were constructed under the order of Emperor GaoZong of the Tang dynasty. It looked very impressive as Guo Xiang proceeded up the mountain. Before long she could see the monastery.

2、monastery?/'mɑn?st?ri/ (n.) 修道院；僧侶? ?Shaolin Monastery: 少林寺
她望著連綿屋宇出了一會(huì)神，心想：“少林寺向?yàn)樘煜挛鋵W(xué)之源，但華山兩次論劍，怎地五絕之中并無(wú)少林寺高僧？難道寺中和尚自忖沒(méi)有把握，生怕墮了威名，索性便不去與會(huì)？又難道眾僧侶修為精湛，名心盡去，武功雖高，卻不去和旁人爭(zhēng)強(qiáng)賭勝？”
She stared at the roof for a moment and thought: "The ShaoLin Monastery is said to be the origin of martial arts, but why aren't there any ShaoLin experts among the 5 Greats? Is it because the ShaoLin experts knew there weren't a match for the other experts and were afraid to disgrace ShaoLin and refused to go? Or was it because the monks had evolved beyond earthly matters and didn't want to scramble for power and fame.

她下了青驢，緩步走向寺前，只見樹木森森，蔭著一片碑林。石碑大半已經(jīng)毀破，字跡模糊，不知寫著些甚么。心想：“便是刻鑿在石碑上的字，年深月久之后也須磨滅，如何刻在我心上的，卻是時(shí)日越久反而越加清晰？”
After a while she saw a large stone tablet, half of it was gone and the characters were unclear, Guo Xiang was thinking: "How come characters carved into stone can fade away through time, but my feelings carved in my heart become more and more stronger as time goes by."
瞥眼只見一塊大碑上刻著唐太宗賜少林寺寺僧的御札，嘉許少林寺僧立功平亂。碑文中說(shuō)唐太宗為秦王時(shí)，帶兵討伐王世充，少林寺和尚投軍立功，最著者共一十三人。其中只曇宗一僧受封為大將軍，其余十二僧不愿為官，唐太宗各賜紫羅袈裟一襲。她神馳想象：“當(dāng)隋唐之際，少林寺武功便已名馳天下，數(shù)百年來(lái)精益求精，這寺中臥虎藏龍，不知有多少好手?！?/p>
This tablet was bestowed?by Emperor TaiZong of the Tang dynasty. He praised?the ShaoLin monks for helping him suppress the rebellions. The tablet states the military credits of the ShaoLin monks for helping Emperor TaiZong defeat the rebel general Wang ShiChong, of which 13 monks were most famous. Only one monk became a general and the other 12 didn't want to become officials and Emperor TaiZong bestowed 12 purple kasayas. Guo Xiang was thinking: "During the Sui and Tang Dynasty, the ShaoLin Monastery was already very famous for its martial arts, and now after a few hundred years they must be even more formidable."
