And because the breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air (where it comes and goes like the warbling of music) than in the hand, therefore nothing is more fit for that delight, than to know what be the flowers and plants that do best perfume the air.
花的芬芳飘散在空气中,远比握在手中更为馥郁——它时来时去,宛如婉转的乐声;因此,要享受这种乐趣,最好知道哪些花草最能使空气生香。
