English to Chinese: The Garden 花园 General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English The Garden
The Garden is characterized by a unique feature: it’s a garden within a garden. Beyond its botanical value, the garden is also shaped through the story of the Dream of the Red Chamber. The irregular shape is meant not to distribute plants in a schematic way, but rather to give an insight into the value of plats within the story, which is also a metaphor for our lives. The Garden is placed in the Westernmost side of the Sensory Experience Field on the slight slope toward the lake. It is divided into smaller plots through three curved walkways and minor stone walls. The walkways are flanked by metal plates fixed into the ground, the stone walls are made of metal cages filled up with white or black stones. A small L-shaped stream crosses through the middle of the Garden reminding us of the continuous life dynamism in all living beings. The scene of dropping petals into the flowing water can be experience along the stream. Tall trees are distributed along the Northern and Southern sides of the Garden, while small walls made of parallelepipeds are located on the Eastern and Western sides with protecting hedges towards the lake, in line with the biodynamic principles. At the entrance points, sheets with different quotations from the Dream of the Red Chamber can be picked up and read aloud freely by visitors. Using the human voice also highlights the value of plants as living beings.
Many of the stories within the book deal with trees, flowers, colours and scents. The plants’
role within the Sensory Experience Field is therefore not confined to their sensory value, but is
more deeply integrated into the general mission of the whole project: taking care and revitalizing the dream, the five elements and the twelve senses as key-elements of our life.
Translation - Chinese 花园
这个花园有一个独特之处：它是一个园中园。除了植物学上的价值，这个花园也是基于《红楼梦》的故事而塑造的。花园的不规则形状是为了避免过于严谨地布置植物，而让人们更多专注于故事中植物的价值，这也是对我们生活的一种隐喻。花园被放置在感官体验场的最西侧，位于朝向湖边的小坡上。它被三条弯曲的人行道和小石墙划分为更小的区域。人行道的两侧是固定在地上的金属板，石墙则是由白色或黑色石头填充的金属笼子构成。一条L形的小溪从花园中间穿过，象征着所有鲜活存在具有的生命活力。沿着小溪可以体验到“落花流水”的场景。高大的树木分布在花园的北面和南面，而由方木条搭成的小墙则位于东面和西面，湖边有起保护作用的树篱，符合生物动力农耕的原则。在入口处，有印着《红楼梦》语录的纸张供游客自取，他们可以自由地大声朗读这些文字。对于人声的使用也突出了植物作为生命体的价值。
书中的许多故事都涉及到树木、花朵、颜色和气味。因此，植物在感官体验场中的作用并不局限于它们的感官价值，而是更深入地融入了整个项目的总体使命：将梦、五行和十二感官作为我们生活中的关键元素，时时留心，注入活力。
