兰亭集序翻译赏析
• It is such a wonderful day, with fresh air and mild breeze.Facing upwards to the blue sky, we behold the vast immensity of the universe; when bowing our heads towards the ground, we again satisfy ourselves with the diversity of species.Thereby we can refresh our views and let free our souls, with luxuriant satisfaction done to both ears and eyes. How infinite the cheer is! • 是日也，天朗气清，惠风和畅。 仰观宇宙之大，俯察品 类之盛。所以游目骋(chěng)怀，足以极视听之娱，信可 乐也。
