贡邦 gòng bāng


贡邦是怎么来的呢?
gòng bāng shì zěnme lái de ne?
传说,在一个村子里,有一棵枯树会发出魔音
Chuánshuō, zài yígè cūnzi lǐ, yǒuyì kē kū shù huì fāchū mó yīn
使人进入昏睡状态,村民很害怕
shǐ rén jìnrù hūnshuì zhuàngtài, cūnmín hěn hàipà


一天当村民用火去烧树时,突然,
Yìtiān dāng cūnmín yòng huǒ qù shāo shù shí, túrán,
突然,一条大红蛇从树洞里
钻了出来,
túrán, yìtiáo dàhóng shé cóng shù dòng lǐ 
zuānle chūlái,
并且发出魔音,大家听了,顿时昏睡
过去,
bìng qiě fā chū mó yīn, dàjiā tīngle, dùnshí hūnshuì guòqù,
只有耳聋阿里没受影响。
zhǐyǒu ěr lóng ālǐ méi shòu yǐngxiǎng.

阿里立刻往伙伴身上泼水
Ālǐ lìkè wǎng huǒbàn shēnshang pōshuǐ
把他们弄醒,身体像石头一般坚硬,
bǎ tāmen nòng xǐng, shēntǐ xiàng shítou yìbān jiānyìng,
村民怎么打都伤不了他,只好逃回家去
cūnmín zěnme dǎ dōu shāng bùliǎo tā, zhǐhǎo táo huí jiā qù


当晚,一个村民梦到
一种特别的火石可以消灭大红蛇,
dàngwǎn, yígè cūnmín mèng dào 
yì zhǒng tèbié de huǒshí kěyǐ xiāomiè dàhóng shé,
这种火石一淋到水就会烧起来。
zhèi zhǒng huǒshí yì lín dào shuǐ jiù huì shāo qǐlái.
于是,村民设法找来火石,用布塞住耳朵,
Yúshì, cūnmín shèfǎ zhǎo lái huǒshí, yòng bù sāi zhù ěrduo,
趁大红蛇沉睡的时候,把火石投进树洞里,
chèn dàhóng shé chénshuì de shíhou, bǎ huǒshí tóu jìn shù dòng lǐ,
并奋力泼水。大红蛇终于被消灭了。
bìng fènlì pōshuǐ. Dàhóng shé zhōngyú bèi xiāomièle.


村民把蛇皮剥下来,用盘子撑开
Cūnmín bǎ shé píbō xiàlái, yòng pánzi chēng kāi
他们一拍打蛇皮,他就发出低沉的声音
tāmen yì pāidǎ shé pí, tā jiù fāchū dīchén de shēngyīn
