2. 优美的事是，瘦长的潇洒的贵公子穿着直衣的身段。可爱的童女，特地不穿那裙子，只穿了一件开缝很多的汗衫，挂着香袋，带子拖得长长的，在勾栏旁边，用扇子障着脸站着的样子。年轻美貌的女人，将夏天的帷帐的下端搭在帐竿上，穿着白绫单衣，外罩二蓝的薄罗衣，在那里习字。薄纸的本子，用村浓染的丝线，很好看的装订了的。长出嫩芽的柳条上，缚着用青色薄纸上所写的书简。在染得很好玩的长须笼里，插着五叶的松树。?>

2. The beautiful thing is, the slender and elegant nobleman in straight robes. A lovely maiden, deliberately not wearing that skirt, but just a shirt with many openings, hanging a sachet, with a long cord dragging, standing beside the stage with a fan covering her face. A young and beautiful woman, hanging the bottom of the summer curtain on the curtain pole, wearing a white silk single garment, with a light blue gauze robe over it, practicing her calligraphy there. A notebook made of thin paper, beautifully bound with village-dyed silk thread. Young willow twigs with sprouts tied with letters written on thin blue paper. In the amusingly dyed beard cage, there is a five-leaf pine tree.

3. 然而《枕草子》又是什么意思呢历来的说法也很是不少。有人把“枕”字同“枕词”(和歌中一种固定的修饰词，大多是五个音，类似英语的epithet)联系起来，认为是“枕词的草子”；有人认为“枕”字有“枕边”的意思，这样《枕草子》就是个人放在枕边的随手的记录或是人们可以放在枕边随意翻阅的笔记了；此外还有别的各种各样的说法。但无论怎样，对照内容来看，认为《枕草子》是个人的随笔、杂感、笔记、手记之类的东西，大体上是妥当的罢。

3. However, what does "Makura no Sōshi" mean? There have been many interpretations over the years. Some people associate the character "makura" (pillow) with "makura no kotoba" (a fixed type of modifying word in Japanese poetry, usually consisting of five sounds, similar to an epithet in English), and consider it to mean "the grass of pillow words"; others believe that "makura" implies the meaning of "beside the pillow," making "Makura no Sōshi" a personal notebook kept beside one's pillow or something that people can flip through at will. Additionally, there are other various interpretations. But in any case, when comparing it to the content, it seems generally appropriate to consider "Makura no Sōshi" as a personal essay, miscellaneous notes, diaries, or hand-written records and the like.

6. 春天是破晓的时候‘最好’。渐渐发白的山顶，有点亮了起来，紫色的云彩微细的横在那里，这是很有意思的。

6. Spring is the 'best' time at dawn. The top of the hill, gradually lightening, begins to glow a bit, with purple clouds delicately hanging in the air, which is quite interesting.

7. 在秋天，水和蓝天一样的清凉。天上微微有些白云，水上微微有些波皱。天水之间，全是清明，温暖的空气，带着一点桂花的香味。山影儿也更真了。秋山秋水虚幻的吻着。山儿不动，水儿微响。那中古的老城，带着这片秋色秋声，是济南，是诗。

7. In autumn, the water is as cool as the blue sky. There are a few wisps of clouds in the sky and a few ripples on the water. Between the sky and the water, there is clarity and warm air, carrying a hint of osmanthus fragrance. The shadows of the mountains are also more real. The mountains and waters of autumn are embracing each other in an ethereal manner. The mountains remain still, while the water makes a faint sound. That ancient city with its own charm, carrying this autumn color and sound, is Jinan, a poem.

8. 《枕草子》是日本平安时代的散文集。与《源氏物语》一起被誉为古典文学史上的双璧，也是当今文学史上随笔文学的代表之作。清新明快，形式多样、行文自由的写作风格对后来的散文文学的发展，也产生了巨大影响。

8. "The Pillow Book" is a collection of essays from the Heian period of Japan. Together with "The Tale of Genji," it is hailed as a pair of masterpieces in the history of classical literature, and also represents the pinnacle of essay literature in contemporary literary history. Its refreshing and straightforward writing style, characterized by its diverse forms and free-flowing prose, has had a significant impact on the development of prose literature that followed.

10. 早晨起来，泡一碗浓茶，向院子一坐，你也能看得到很高很高的碧绿的天色，听得到青天下驯鸽的飞声。从槐树叶底，朝东细数着一丝一丝漏下来的日光，或在破壁腰中，静对着像喇叭似的牵牛花（朝荣）的蓝朵，自然而然地也能够感觉到十分的秋意。

10. Upon waking up in the morning, brew a bowl of strong tea, sit in the courtyard, and you can see an extremely high and emerald sky, and hear the flight of pigeons under the blue sky. From beneath the locust leaves, counting the thin threads of sunlight filtering through, or in the middle of a broken wall, quietly facing the blue flowers of the trumpet creeper (Chao Rong) like a trumpet, you can naturally feel the fullness of autumn.

11. 前途无望，却一味地老老实实、厮守着虚幻的幸福而安然度日的女人，使人感到心中郁闷，理应予以鄙视。 大概每个人都有这么个时段，有点玛丽苏，认为自己总是例外，是特别的。不同的是认清事实的机遇早晚不同。你可以是例外是特别的，前提是你是否付出对等的努力。

11. Women who have no hope for the future, yet stubbornly adhere to a phantom happiness and live a life of complacency, are frustrating to the heart and should be scorned. Perhaps everyone has such a period in their life, feeling a bit like a Mary Sue, believing that they are always the exception, the special one. The difference lies in the timing when one recognizes the facts. You can be an exception, a special case, but the premise is whether you have put in equal effort.

12. 和许多古代作品一样，《枕草子》这部传世将近千年的名著，从书名、作者、成书年代到成书的情况还都存在着尚待进一步确定的问题。

12. Like many ancient works, the famous classic "The Pillow Book," which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, still has some issues regarding its title, author, the time of its composition, and the circumstances of its creation that are yet to be further determined.

14. 住在一起，彼此客客气气，称赞对方是杰出人才，却终于不见面了。这样的人委实罕见。 不论男人和女人、法师与僧徒，即使山盟海誓，相亲相爱，但能好到最后的颇为罕见。

14. Living together, treating each other with politeness, praising each other as outstanding talents, yet finally not seeing each other. Such people are indeed rare. Whether men or women, wizards or monks, even if they make solemn promises and love each other, it is rather rare for them to remain good to the end.

15. 一年当中每个季节都有自己的美妙之处。……老年就是人生的秋天。即使是秋天也有它迷人的地方，有它的优越性。

15. Each season in a year has its own charm. ... Old age is the autumn of life. Even autumn has its own enchanting aspects, its own advantages.

16. 坦然接受人生的春，夏，秋，冬的四季迭替，懂得欣赏秋天的美，就不会苦苦痴恋夏季的热烈。

16. Embrace the changing seasons of life's spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and learn to appreciate the beauty of autumn. In doing so, one will not be so deeply infatuated with the intensity of summer.

17. 并不是被爱的很深的女人，又心绪不佳，长期患病，她的男人肯定会觉得心烦的。

17. A woman who is not deeply loved, is in a bad mood, and has been suffering from a long-term illness, her man would definitely feel troubled.

18. 在四时中，我于秋是有偏爱的，所以不妨说说。秋是代表成熟，对于春天之明媚娇艳，夏日之茂密浓深，都是过来人，不足为奇了，所以其色淡，叶多黄，有古色苍茏之慨，不单以葱翠争荣了。这是我所谓秋的意味。

18. Among the four seasons, I have a special preference for autumn, so I might as well talk about it. Autumn represents maturity, having surpassed the bright and lovely spring and the lush and dense summer, it is no longer surprising. Therefore, its colors are light, and the leaves are mostly yellow, exuding an ancient and rugged charm, not just vying for fame with lush greenery. This is what I mean by the essence of autumn.

19. 洗头，化妆，穿上浸满香气的衣裳，即使在没人看见的地方，心中也十分快活。

19. Wash your hair, apply makeup, dress in clothes imbued with fragrance; even in places where no one sees, you feel extremely joyful in your heart.

20. 雨静悄悄地下着，只有一点细细的淅沥沥的声音。桔红色的房屋，像披着袈裟鲜艳的老僧，垂头合目，受着雨底的洗礼。那潮湿的红砖，发出有刺激的猪血的颜色和墙下绿油油的桂叶成为强烈的对照。灰色的癞蛤蟆，在湿烂发霉的泥地里跳跃着；在秋雨的沉闷的网底，只有它是唯一的充满愉快的生气的东西。

20. The rain fell softly, with only a faint sound of dripping. The orange-colored houses, like resplendent old monks clad in robes, bowed their heads and closed their eyes, undergoing the baptism of the rain. The damp red bricks emitted a stimulating color reminiscent of pig's blood, contrasting sharply with the lush green leaves beneath the wall. The gray toads hopped around in the soggy, moldy mud; in the heavy net of autumn rain, they were the only things brimming with joy and vitality.

21. 人的青春时期一过，就会出现名象秋天一样的优美成熟时期，这时，生命的果实象熟稻子似的在美丽的平静的气氛中等待收获。

21. After the period of youth has passed, there will emerge a period of mature grace akin to autumn. At this time, the fruits of life await harvest in a beautiful, serene atmosphere, much like ripe rice waiting for the harvest.

22. 不珍视秋天的人，不会真正爱春天；不珍惜果实的人，不会真正爱花朵。

22. Those who do not cherish autumn will not truly love spring; those who do not value the fruits will not truly love the flowers.

24. 首先，目前通行的书名《枕草子》，我们就不清楚是作者原来的，还是后人加给它的。过去有人只著录作者清少纳言的名字；有人则称此书为《清少纳言枕草子》，也有人称它为《清少纳言抄》等等，后来才去掉作者的名字，单称之为《枕草子》。至于“草子”一词，在日语中又写成不同的汉字：或作草纸，或作双子，或作双纸，或谓系册子的音转，也没有定论。“草子”可以理解为一般的册子，也可以理解为草稿、稿本。

24. Firstly, the current title of the book, "Makura no Sōshi," is unclear whether it was the original title by the author or was added by later generations. In the past, some only recorded the name of the author, Sei Shōnagon, while others called the book "Sei Shōnagon Makura no Sōshi," and some referred to it as "Sei Shōnagon Shū," among others. It was only later that the author's name was dropped, and it was simply called "Makura no Sōshi." As for the word "sōshi," it is written in different Chinese characters in Japanese: sometimes it is written as "sōshi," sometimes as "futaba," sometimes as "futabashi," and some say it is a phonetic transformation of "kikaku" (booklet). There is no definitive conclusion. "Sōshi" can be understood as a general book, as well as a draft or manuscript.

25. 这是一个颜色很深的秋天，天很蓝，很幽静，也很遥远。太阳的光线很亮彻，很柔媚，也很纯粹，像被过滤过一样。

25. This is a very deep autumn, with a blue sky that is serene and distant. The sunlight is bright and piercing, soft and charming, and also pure, as if filtered.

26. 秋天是傍晚最好。夕阳辉煌地照着，到了很接近山边的时候，乌鸦都要归巢去了，三四只一起，两三只一起急匆匆地飞去，这也是很有意思的。而且更有大雁排成行列飞去，随后越看去变得越小了，也真是有趣。到了日没以后，风的声响及虫类的鸣声，不消说也都是特别有意思的。

26. Autumn is the best time in the evening. The setting sun shines brilliantly, and as it gets close to the mountains, crows start to head back to their nests, flying in pairs or small groups, all in a hurry, which is quite fascinating. Moreover, there are geese flying in formation, which, as you watch, seem to get smaller and smaller, truly amusing. After the sun sets, the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects, needless to say, are also particularly interesting.

28. 同是一个人，没有了感情，便简直觉得像别个人的样子。

28. It is the same person, but without emotions, it seems almost like a different person.

29. 春天黎明很美。逐渐发白的山头，天色微明。紫红的彩云变得纤细，长拖拖的横卧苍空。

29. The spring dawn is beautiful. The mountain peaks gradually lighten, the sky beginning to brighten. The purple and red彩clouds become slender, stretching long and lying horizontally across the sky.

30. 已经长大成人的女孩，假如听到有关她的意外传闻，当面也是很难启齿的。

30. It is difficult to bring up the rumors about her accident in front of the grown-up girl, even if she hears them.

31. 有关作者的一切，甚至她的名字，都难以确定。至今人们还只能从作品本身对她的身世作若干推测。中外古代的大作家属于这类情况的实非少数。周作人先生为此所写的《关于清少纳言》一文把她本人的问题作了概括的介绍，可以参看，这里就不再重复了。

31. Everything about the author, even her name, is difficult to ascertain. To this day, people can only make some speculations about her background from her works themselves. There are not a few ancient great writers from both China and the West who fall into this category. Mr. Zhou Zuoren wrote an article titled "On Sei Shonagon" for this very purpose, which provides a comprehensive introduction to the author herself. It can be referred to; therefore, it will not be repeated here.

32. 荒废的屋子上爬满了蔓草，而蓬草又长长地丛生，月华明亮，普照其上。

32. The abandoned house was overgrown with vines, and the brambles grew densely, bathed in the bright moonlight that shone upon them.

33. —— 谚语

33. —— Proverb

34. 人生世上如岁月之有四时，必须要经过这纯熟时期……须知秋天的景色更华丽，更惊奇，而 秋天的快乐有万倍的雄壮、惊奇、华丽。

34. Life on earth is like the changing seasons; one must go through this period of maturity... It should be known that the scenery of autumn is more magnificent and more surprising, and the joy of autumn is ten times more heroic, surprising, and magnificent.

35. 最动人是秋林映着落日。那酡红如醉，衬托着天边加深的暮色。晚风带着清澈的凉意，随着暮色浸染，那是一种十分艳丽的凄楚之美，让你想流几行感怀身世之泪，却又被那逐渐淡去的醉红所慑住，而情愿把奔放的情感凝结。

35. The most charming is the autumn forest reflecting the setting sun. The blush of red is intoxicating, contrasting with the deepening dusk at the horizon. The evening breeze carries a clear coolness, as the dusk deepens, it is a very brilliant and melancholic beauty that makes you want to shed a few tears of sentimentality over your life experiences, yet you are captivated by the gradually fading intoxicating red, and are willing to condense your overflowing emotions.

36. 大概我所爱的不是晚秋，是初秋，那时暄气初消，月正圆，蟹正肥，桂花皎洁，也未陷入懔烈萧瑟气态，这是最值得赏乐的。那时的温和，如我烟上的红灰，只是一股熏熟的温香罢了。或如文人已排脱下笔惊人的格调，而渐趋纯熟炼达，宏毅坚实，其文读来有深长意味。这就是庄子所谓“正得秋而万宝成”结实的意义。

36. Perhaps what I love is not the late autumn, but the early autumn, when the warmth begins to fade, the moon is full, the crabs are plump, the osmanthus is bright and clean, and it has not yet fallen into a cold and desolate state. This is the most enjoyable time. The mildness of that time, like the red ash on my cigarette, is just a warm fragrance that has been smoked. Or like a scholar who has shed the style of being astonishing with his pen, and gradually approaches maturity and skillfulness, his writing is profound and meaningful. This is the solid meaning of what Zhuangzi said, "The autumn is right and all treasures are accomplished."
