Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering

hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.

昔者庄周梦为蝴蝶,栩栩然蝴蝶也,自喻适志与,不知周也。俄然觉,则戚戚然周也。不知周之梦为蝴蝶与,蝴蝶之梦为周与?周与蝴蝶则必有分矣。此之谓物化。

    周与蝴蝶则必有分矣。此之谓物化。These two sentences were missing from your English version.

    @Shamus I meant you didn't read a clause which is before "unaware that I was Chou"

    @傅建峰 Joe Fu 我查了各种文献,以及我自己的理解,这句话应该理解为: 周与蝴蝶则必有分矣。此之谓物化。 庄周与蝴蝶一定有分别。这就是所说的物化,也就是变化同为一体,不分彼此,消除物我差别的境界。 Zhou and butterfly must be divided. This is called materialization.But the state where changes are one and the same, regardless of each other, and the difference between things and me is eliminated.
