Back to the house has been divided into three drums and one room.

The drum has been drummed three times. I fell asleep in the house/covered with a quilt and began to snore again.

Original text:

Last year, when I was in Danzhou (place name, now Hainan), several old scholars came and said, "This is a beautiful moon and a beautiful night. Can you surprise me?" I am very happy to follow it, step into the west of the city, enter the monk's home, and cross the alley. People are mixed and rubbed, and the slaughter is full of troubles. I've gone back to the house for three drums. I fell asleep in the house and began to snore again. What are the gains and losses? Guo (Su Shi's youngest son) asked Mr. Why he was laughing, and Gai laughed at himself. However, he also laughed and said that Han quit fishing and wanted to go far away. I don't know that those who walk in the sea may not catch big fish.

Translation:

Last year, when I was in Danzhou, several old scholars came to me and said, "Can you go out with me on such a sunny moonlit night?" I happily followed them to the west of the city, into the monastery and through the alley. People from all over the country live together in an orderly way. When I got home, it was already midnight. Everyone at home sleeps with the door closed and sleeps soundly. I put down my cane and couldn't help laughing. What is gain and what is loss? Sue asked me why I was laughing, probably laughing at myself! However, it is also a laugh when Han retired from fishing and failed to catch it. He wants to go fishing further, but he doesn't know that people by the sea may not catch big fish.
