cheer the heart and please the feeling ❍ 你们不知：我自幼于花鸟山水题咏上就平平的； 如今上了年纪，且案牍劳烦，于这～的文章更生疏了。(《红楼梦》188)Frankly,I was never a good hand even in my young days at writing verse about nature—flowers,birds and scenery. Now that I’m old and burdened with official duties I’ve quite lost the light touch required for belles-lettres.
