【正确答案】
1、正确答案:The man cannot be identified. No one knows his name. As there are five willows grown beside his hut, he has come to be known as the " Man of Five-Willows. Tranquil and spare of speech, he covets neither fame nor profit. He takes delight in books, but is not concerned with details. Whenever an idea flashes upon him he becomes so overjoyed as to forget his meals. Drinking is his natural weakness, but, being poor, he cannot afford to buy wine. Knowing it well, his relatives and friends are wont to provide some for him to share. Then he finishes every drop and does not stop till quite drunk. While tipsy, he leaves them without more ado. Four bare walls enclose his rooms: the wind and sun find free access through the roof and the chinks. His clothes are ragged and his dishes usually empty. But he takes it perfectly at ease. Sometimes he writes to amuse himself, to express what is in his mind. He cares little for worldly gain or loss. It is thus he passes his allotted span on earth.
