元丰二年，一群兵士闯进了湖州知州的家中，时任湖州知州的苏轼被当场逮捕。

In the second year of Yuanfeng, a group of soldiers broke into the home of the governor of Huzhou, and Su Shi, who was then the governor of Huzhou, was arrested on the spot.

原来是因为苏轼曾在朝堂之上，公开反对新法的实行，以至于朝廷的高官大多都对他心怀不满。

It turned out that Su Shi had openly opposed the implementation of the new law in the court, to the extent that most high-ranking officials in the court were dissatisfied with him.

在担任湖州知州时，苏轼又多次深入民间，发现了新法的诸多弊端，感慨之余，他便将心中的不满发泄到诗词中。

When serving as the governor of Huzhou, Su Shi went deep into the people multiple times and discovered many drawbacks of the new law. While feeling emotional, he vented his dissatisfaction in his poetry.

苏轼没有想到的是，自己的无心之举，被“有心人”故意揭发，写下的诗词成为了铁证，如今等待他的不仅是仕途受损，恐怕还会有牢狱之灾。

What Su Shi did not expect was that his unintentional actions were intentionally exposed by those with intentions, and the poems he wrote became ironclad evidence. Now, waiting for him not only damages his career, but also may lead to imprisonment.

尽管在苏辙的求情下，苏轼免去了牢狱之灾，但也因此被贬黄州，并且没有薪酬。

Although Su Shi was spared from prison at Su Zhe's request, he was also demoted to Huangzhou without any salary.

当得知这种种不公平的待遇时，苏轼轻轻说出一句：算了。

When he learned about this kind of unfair treatment, Su Shi lightly said, "Forget it.".

在苏轼笔下，荒凉的黄州似乎没有那么令人畏惧和荒芜，反而是一片宜居之地，令人心生向往。

In Su Shi's writings, the desolate Huangzhou seems less intimidating and desolate, but rather a livable place that people yearn for.

虽然没有了薪酬，吃不起最爱的羊肉，但他却会用猪肉来代替解馋。

Although he couldn't afford his favorite lamb without his salary, he would use pork instead to satisfy his craving.

正如当初那句算了，既然生活不如意，那就学会乐观，让自己开心。

As the saying goes, forget it. Since life is not going well, learn to be optimistic and make yourself happy.

人到晚年，此生已过大半，之后的时光已经不多，何不珍惜当下，好好享受每一天。

In old age, half of one's life has passed and there is not much time left. Why not cherish the present and enjoy each day well.

与其每天操心一切，不如就同苏轼一样，看开一点，豁达一点，如此便能快乐一点。

Instead of worrying about everything every day, it's better to be like Su Shi, to be open-minded and open-minded, so that we can be happier.
