evaluation

幽静的山里看不见人影，但是却能听见人的说话声，夕阳的光芒透过茂密的树林照射下来，青苔上也就有了一丝阳光。
There is no one in the peaceful mountains, only a voice that can be heard. The rays of the setting sun shine through thick woods, sprinkling onto the green moss.
这首诗描绘了诗人在鹿柴附近的森林里的所见所闻。傍晚时分，茂密的树林深处非常幽静，人的说话声和夕阳给了这种安静一些活力，静中有动。虽然是空山，却有人声，动中有静，太阳闯入了深林，但是青苔依旧在。
This poem depicts what the poet hears and sees in a forest near the place called Luzhai. At dusk, it is very tranquil deep in the dense forest. The voice of people and the setting sun give this tranquility a dash of vitality, giving life to the quietness. In spite of the bare mountains, there is a voice, giving movement to the silence. But as the sunlight breaks through the thick foliage, the green moss remains.
