醉翁之乐

北宋文体家欧阳修在《醉翁亭记》中提议的寄情山水、排遣沉闷之乐趣。欧阳修政事失落，惨遭贬谪，内心沉闷，遂雷同出游，寄情山水，借醉酒以消愁，追求与民同乐。因此，“醉翁之乐”即欧阳修寄情山水之乐，但这种乐趣之中却隐含着谪居糊口的悔过，推行是借助外皮的山水之乐来排遣内心的沉闷。

The Joy of the Old Drunkard

This refers to the joy Ouyang Xiu, a Northern Song scholar, found when casting his thoughts to nature, so as to dispel his gloom. This concept was proposed in his essay "The Old Drunkard Pavilion." Ouyang Xiu was despondent and depressed. Hence he took frequent outings and excursions to indulge in the natural environment of mountains and rivers, often intoxicated with drink while sharing his joys with the common folks. The joy of the old drunkard thus refers to his way of deriving pleasure from nature. It also connotes a sense of bitterness due to his demotion.

引 例

心中有鬼不在酒，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》）（醉翁的情意不在酒上，而在湖光山色之中。晓行夜宿的乐趣，意会在心里而托福在酒上。）

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)开yun体育网
