文质彬彬·每日好词语｜醉翁之乐

「01、」

欧阳修在《醉翁亭记》里讲述的那份寄情山水、排遣愁绪的乐趣。这位北宋文人政治上遭遇挫折，被贬谪外地，心情沉重，便常常外出漫游，在山水中寄托情怀，靠饮酒来忘却烦恼，追求与百姓一同欢乐。所以，“醉翁之乐”便是欧阳修寄情于山水的乐趣，但这种乐趣里却隐藏着贬谪生活的苦闷，本质上是借山水之乐来排遣内心的忧愁。

The Joy of the Old Drunkard

This refers to the happiness Ouyang Xiu, a Northern Song scholar, experienced when he channeled his thoughts toward nature, thereby eliminating his sadness. The idea was put forward in his composition "The Old Drunkard Pavilion." Ouyang Xiu was feeling down and desolate. For this reason, he went on frequent travels and outings, immersing himself in the natural scenery of mountains and rivers, often losing himself in drink while enjoying life with the people around him. The joy of the old drunkard thus represents his pursuit of pleasure in nature. It also suggests a hint of sorrow stemming from his discharge.

引 例

醉翁之意不在酒，在乎山水之间也。山水之乐，得之心而寓之酒也。（欧阳修《醉翁亭记》）（醉翁的心意不在酒上，而在山光水色之中。游山玩水的乐趣，领会在心里而寄托在酒上。）

What intoxicates this old drunkard is not the wine but the mountains and rivers. The joys afforded by nature are felt in the heart and savoured through the wine. (Ouyang Xiu: The Old Drunkard Pavilion)
