汉语讲解：传说盘古开天辟地，女娲用黄泥造人，日月星辰各司其职，子民安居乐业，四海歌舞升平。
后来共工与颛顼争帝位，不胜而头触不周之山，导致天柱折，地球上除了人类所有生物灭绝，地球两极颠倒，九州裂，天倾西北，地陷东海，洪水泛滥，大火蔓延，人民流离失所。
女娲看到她的子民们陷入巨大灾难之中，十分关切，决心炼石以补苍天。
于是她周游四海，遍涉群山，最后选择了东海之外的海上仙山—天台山。
天台山是东海上五座仙山之一，五座仙山分别由神鳌用背驼着，以防沉入海底。
女娲为何选择天台山呢，因为只有天台山才出产炼石用的五色土，是炼补天石的绝佳之地。
于是，女娲在天台山顶堆巨石为炉，取五色土为料，又借来太阳神火，历时九天九夜，炼就了五色巨石36501块。
然后又历时九天九夜，用36500块五彩石将天补好。
剩下的一块遗留在天台山中汤谷的山顶上。
天是补好了，可是却找不到支撑四极的柱子。
要是没有柱子支撑，天就会塌下来。
情急之下，女娲只好将背负天台山之神鳌的四只足砍下来支撑四极。
可是天台山要是没有神鳌的负载，就会沉入海底，于是女娲将天台山移到东海之滨的琅琊，就为今天日照市涛雒镇一带。
至今天台山上仍然留有女娲补天台、补天台下有被斩了足的神鳌和补天剩下的五彩石，后人称之为太阳神石。
女娲补天之后，天地定位，洪水归道，烈火熄灭，四海宁静。
人们在天台山载歌载舞，欢庆补天成功，同时在山下建立女娲庙，世代供奉，朝拜者络绎不绝，香火不断。
这则著名的神话故事反映了我国古代劳动人民与大自然抗争的不屈不挠的精神：女娲挺身而出、救民于水火的高尚，这源自人类渴望征服自然、创造美好生活的愿望。
Nü Wa Mends the Sky In ancient times, the four corners of the sky collapsed and the world with its nine regions split open. The sky could not cover all the things under it, nor could the earth carry all the things on it. A great fire raged and would not die out; a fierce flood raced about and could not be checked. Savage beasts devoured innocent people; vicious birds preyed on the weak and old.Then Nü Wa melted rocks of five colours and used them to mend the cracks in the sky. She supported the four corners of the sky with the legs she had cut off from a giant turtle. She killed the black dragon to save the people of Jizhou, and blocked the flood with the ashes of reeds.Thus the sky was mended, its four corners lifted, the floodtamed, Jizhou pacified, and harmful birds and beasts killed, and the innocent people were able to live on the square earth under the dome of the sky. It was a time when birds, beasts, insects and snakes no longer used their claws or teeth or poisonous stings, for they did not want to catch or eat weaker things.Nü Wa’s deeds benefited the heavens above and the earth below. Her name was remembered by later generations and her light shone on every creation.篇三：女娲补天英文翻译女娲补天——Nvwa mends the sky往古之时，四极废，九州裂，天不兼复，地不周载。
