八仙说不定真是被陶醉了呢。
maybe the Eight Immortals were
really intoxicated by it.
韩佳： 不会吧。
It couldn’t be true.
旁白： 说起八仙，我和渊源可来了兴致。
When talking about the Eight Immortals,
both Yuanyuan and I got into high spirits.
既然到了仙境，
Now that we are in this
fabled fairyland,
不如我们也扮回神仙。
we’d better put on a play about
the immortals.
王渊源：我要扮成吕洞宾，
I’ll play the part of Lu Dongbin,
八仙里就数他最潇洒了。
the most handsome of the
Eight Immortals.
韩佳： 那我也只能扮演何仙姑了。
And I have only to play the only
female role of He Xiangu.
没得选！
I have no choice!
郭金： 哎，我说老李，
Hey, Lao Li,
这身衣服还挺适合你的。
this costume suits you perfectly.
张晶： 老吕，你也很不错嘛。
Lao Lu, you also look pretty good.
这身儿挺潇洒的。

Lao Li, Lao Lu, Tieguai Li,
Lu Dongbin?
不行。我要扮演吕洞宾啊。
Oh, no. I want to play Lu Dongbin.
韩佳： 不过，幸好何仙姑还没有人扮演。
Fortunately, the role of He Xiangu
has not been taken.
我呢就…
I just play …
吕媛： 韩佳，看我这身儿怎么样？
Han Jia, what do you think of
my costume?
走啦。
Let’s go.
韩佳： 八仙里面唯独的一个女的也被抢了！
The only female role of the Eight Immortals
has also been taken!
别呀。
Oh, no.
王渊源：看来这吕洞宾我是当不上了。
It seems I can’t play the part of
Lu Dongbin.
要说这张果老其实也不错。
But the part of Zhang Guolao
is also good.
韩佳： 反正何仙姑也演不上了，
Since I can’t play the part of
He Xiangu,
不如就演演张果老。
it isn’t bad to play Zhang Guolao.
反串一把也有新意嘛。
It’d be interesting for me to
play a male role.
王渊源：这不行。张果老可是我先看上的。
No, you can’t. I chose the role of
Zhang Guolao first.
韩佳： 女士优先嘛！
Ladies first!
王渊源：张果老是个男士。
But Zhang Guolao is a male character.
韩佳： 你长得也不像啊。
But you don’t look like him.
与其不像，不如让我来呢。
In this case, you’d better
let me play him.
王军： 你们俩干吗呢？
What are you two doing?
韩佳： 啊，张果老也有人抢了？
What, the role of Zhang Guolao has
also been snatched by someone else?
王军： 瞧这话说的？
What do you mean “snatched”?
我演张果老最合适。
It’s most suitable for me to
play Zhang Guolao.
合： 没错儿！没错儿！
Absolutely! Absolutely!
我们是各取所长，
We’re simply making use of
our different advantages,
我们是八仙过海，各显神通。
like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea,
each using his or her own special power.
王渊源：得，正好八个！
Right, there are just eight of you!
没咱们俩什么事啊？
What should the two of us do?
韩佳： 那我们还是干好自己的本职工作吧，
We’d better do our own jobs well
来讲讲”八仙过海，各显神通。”
and explain what “baxian guo hai,
ge xian shentong.”
