Art/Literary - Philosophy | | Chinese term or phrase: 润物细无声 | Hi everyone,
I have found this complex sentence and I believe it's a sort of philosophical classical sentence, but I cannot find a suitable translation in English (or Italian:)
Does anybody know what it means. I'm not sure context is important in this case but I will add the entire sentence anyway:
....使“设计”于“润物细无声”之中渗透到方方面面
Thanks everybody

The phrase comes from a famous poem by Tofu, referring how the drizzle falls silently while everyone is asleep. The writer here has flaunted his literature knowledge by citing this phrase. The only option for translation is to replace this word play with a direct expression. |
