In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
The original words are "in my heart, the tiger smells the roses." Yu Guangzhong translated it as: There is a tiger in my heart, smelling the roses.
This sentence wants to express two sides of the human heart.
He believes that even the fiercest tiger can smell roses, and its busy and ambitious ambition will be moved by tenderness and beauty. Everyone is more or less masculine and feminine. Life is like a battlefield, and everyone has a tiger in his heart, who uses his own strength to resist countercurrent, wind rustling and water cooling; But life is like a garden, which will become gentle and quiet because of the dew left on the roses in the morning. If there is only one tiger in your heart, it is reckless, and only one rose is not tough enough. The human heart is also a two-sided body of tigers and roses. If there are no roses, it will inevitably become reckless and vulgar. Without tigers, you will inevitably become weak and lose courage. However, no matter what kind of person, as long as there is love in his heart, he will become very gentle. Even a tiger will creep and approach the beautiful rose carefully, for fear of stepping on the rose and disturbing the morning dew.
My culture is limited and I don't know the original poem. The first time I heard this sentence, it was Li Jian who said it on TV. At that time, I was deeply impressed and felt that I understood it very well. Actually, my understanding is not that complicated.
There is a tiger in my heart. I think it refers to those grand plans and ideas in my heart, or something very powerful and sharp in my heart. But if you want to realize it, or express your thoughts, you still have to calm down, do it slowly and express it gently. If you are desperate to let the tiger out at once, it will not succeed, and it is likely to hurt others!
To put it simply, no matter how powerful a person is, he should exert his strength slowly, gently and sharply!
"There is a tiger in my heart, smelling the roses" is a well-known classic sentence. Nowadays, what most of us understand is that tigers sometimes smell roses, their busy and ambitious ambitions will be moved by tenderness and beauty, and they will feel beautiful with peace of mind.
However, if you want to be true and understand the true meaning of this sentence, then you must continue reading!
19 17 On July 28th, Austria-Hungary, with the support of Germany, declared war on Serbia under the pretext of Sarajevo incident, and the First World War officially started.
Countless young people were forced or volunteered to join the war. In Britain, an educated young man studying at Cambridge University volunteered to join the army.
He is the English poet Heathcliff Sason, who later wrote the classic poem "There is a tiger in your heart, smell the roses" in To Me, Past, Present and Future. (Poetry translated by Yu Guangzhong)
Perhaps it was for the great cause of the motherland, perhaps to realize the young people's personal ideals, or perhaps he witnessed the slaughter that the people of the country did not resist, and he volunteered to join the army.
On the battlefield of World War I, he showed bravery and made many meritorious deeds.
But instead of being happy, he felt fear and emptiness because of the cruel scenes on the battlefield and the death of his comrades.
In this way, he retired on 19 17, and then returned to his hometown and wrote "In Me, Past, Present and Future".
There is a sentence in this poem.
My desire usurped the present tense.
All kinds of desires are robbing me of my present.
Kill reason in the seat.
Kill "reason" on its throne
It shows that the poet is dominated by his own reason, but at the same time he is dominated by desire, which stifles reason and occupies his heart.
This poem just shows that the author has suffered from the invasion of the mind by war. Desire breeds in the heart and reason is impacted.
Later, I said:
Look at my heart, dear friend, tremble,
Look at my heart, dear friend, you should tremble,
Because that's where your elements gather.
Because this is who you really are.
It shows that the poet cries, we should really know ourselves, face our weaknesses and follow our inner thoughts, where is our real source.
Although the author's mind is constantly violated, it is precisely because of the misfortune of war that he honed his mind and made the author realize that we should follow our own nature, so he cherishes life, opposes war and calls for peace.
The middle part happens to be
In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
There is a tiger in my heart, smelling roses,
This is a sentence connecting the preceding with the following.
In me the tiger sniffs the rose. That is, even if you are in a war, surrounded by desires and your reason is violated, you still have to follow your heart and keep yearning for good things.
Text/Xiaobei
At first glance, "a tiger smells roses in his heart" thought it was a classic sentence. In fact, this sentence is imported, and the original version was said by the British. To be precise, this is a very classic translation.
The origin of "there is a tiger in the heart and a rose in the nose"
This sentence comes from the poem "To Me, Past, Present and Future" by the English poet Sason. The original text is "the tiger in my heart smells the rose", which was translated by the famous poet Yu Guangzhong as "the tiger in my heart smells the rose".
Sason was born into an upper-class family in London. As a modern English poet and novelist, he deeply observed the social situation and closely linked his personal destiny with the national destiny.
He not only took part in the First World War, but also was brave and fearless on the battlefield and made many remarkable achievements. However, the endless war and the constant sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms made him more aware of the cruelty of war with human life as a bargaining chip and the involuntary sorrow of human destiny, so he chose 19 17 to retire.
After returning to his hometown, Sason will never forget the losses and persecution brought to the people by the war. He put the fear and anxiety brought by the war into words and wrote many anti-war poems, among which "To Me, Past, Present and Future" is one.
How to understand "a tiger smells roses in his heart"?
There is a tiger in my heart, but I can smell the roses carefully. It uses a set of interesting contrasts, namely "tiger" and "rose". Tigers show strength and wildness, and wild roses give people an intuitive feeling of beauty and weakness. So the literal meaning of this sentence is very touching, that is, the beast inside me is smelling the fragrance of roses at the moment. When these two things in the world are in harmony, we can actually intuitively imagine the beauty of peace and tranquility.
It turns out that the fiercest tiger will stop to smell the roses. It turns out that people and things in the world who are strong and sharp in appearance have their gentle side. Even the most ambitious people may one day be moved by the beauty and peace of some things.
Therefore, in human nature, there are always two different souls. One soul is as ambitious and wild as a wild animal, and dares to go in and out of all the dangers in life, while the other soul is as beautiful and agile as grass, content to watch the clouds rolling in the sky calmly and peacefully, and simply enjoy the beauty of life.
There is both strength and femininity in human nature, which makes life diverse and wonderful, and also shows that the attributes of life are adjustable to some extent. As Laozi said, "The world is the softest, the world is the strongest, and it is made out of nothing."
It is often the weakest thing in the world that can control the strongest thing in the world. This is Laozi's philosophy of "combining rigidity with softness". No matter how tough a person is, once the love in his heart is awakened, he will know how to pick up a little tenderness, get closer to those beautiful things in life step by step and protect them carefully.
End.
"There is a tiger in my heart, smelling the roses" literally means there is a tiger in my heart, smelling the beautiful and fragrant roses. This sentence actually describes a picture and hides a deep meaning. A tiger that is fierce and mighty can sometimes show warmth, tenderness and delicacy, and will stop to feel beautiful things.
This sentence is not a common saying in China's traditional culture, but comes from the west.
The British modern writer Sason (1886- 1967) wrote a poem around 1920. The first sentence is "Meet me, past, present and future", which is translated into Chinese as "For me, past, present and future".
There is a sentence in this poem, "I smell roses in my tiger." Chinese means "there is a tiger sniffing roses in my heart".
Why does this picture appear? Because of their inner beliefs, most westerners practice repentance. Whenever I think I have done something wrong, I will talk to God with a sincere heart, admit my mistake and ask for forgiveness.
When Sason wrote this poem, it was not long after he voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield of World War I ... Because he had seen too much ruthlessness brought by war on the battlefield, a comrade-in-arms shared life and death with others instantly. The battlefield is like a huge black hole, mercilessly devouring life. So he had an unspeakable fear and disgust for the war, decided to leave here, and then wrote the poem.
In the 1970s, when the famous poet Yu Guangzhong translated this poem, he translated it as "a tiger in his heart and a rose in his nose", which was very in line with the artistic conception of China's traditional poetry.
Since its publication, this poem has been constantly added with new understanding by readers, and finally rose to the height of revealing the duality and complexity of human nature and even the attributes of all things.
The complexity of human nature has always been a topic that people like to discuss. Both the East and the West have stories that explain the complexity of human nature. For example, in ancient Roman mythology, "the mother wolf suckles the baby". In people's eyes, the wolf has always been a cruel animal, but at a certain moment, it can show its kindness and nobility. Saving two children is tantamount to indirectly saving Rome.
In Chinese idiom stories, "talking with a honey in your mouth and a sword in your stomach", "referring to a deer as a horse" and "inviting a gentleman to the urn" are all another interpretation of the complexity of human nature. When a person is not threatened and hurt by the outside world, even a vicious person can show his lofty side. But if he is in a dangerous environment, he can show the destructive power of avalanches.
The two images of tiger and rose, like two sides of human nature, symbolize cruelty and fortitude on the one hand and charity and gentleness on the other. Only when they live in harmony and are in a state of balance can they show their warm and beautiful side.
Tigers and roses are like love and hate, love and hate, or water and fire in human nature. Warm and sincere love can influence and melt hatred, dispel a person's inner darkness and make him sunny. On the other hand, violent hatred will obliterate deep feelings and destroy the proper atmosphere. Water can put out the fire, but if the fire is too big, there is nothing water can do.
These eight words perfectly explain the combination of rigidity and softness. I can't help but think of a line from the movie The Beast and the Beauty, "Even though you are ugly and covered in animal hair, you are very gentle with me."
1 origin
This sentence has been quoted by many people and even flooded. It can be found that Mr. Yu Guangzhong, a poet, has a collection of essays entitled "There is a tiger in my heart, sniffing the rose carefully", and the source of this sentence originally came from the poem "In my tiger, sniffing the rose" by Sason, a British poet, which was translated by Mr. Yu Guangzhong, a scholar.
Translation is very poetic and philosophical, and many people like it.
What do you mean?
My heart is like a tiger, galloping in the wilderness, but I can also stop and savor the fragrance of wild roses.
There is always a wild and submissive side in human nature, one is a scourge, and the other is gentle and quiet. I am constantly pursuing the distance, and I am arrogant. From time to time, I bow my head and let tears flow, showing tenderness.
Cold and fierce eyes and occasional tenderness can always bring a warm heart feeling! An attractive person must combine rigidity with softness, release his ambition and not be stingy with his warmth.
Mr. Yu Guangzhong said: "Life is a battlefield, only tigers can gain a foothold in the countercurrent ... Life is also a valley, and only a rose can hide candles ..."
There are many contradictory and unified characteristics between nature and human nature. This sentence is a beautiful and emotional expression of this poem.
The mountains are rough, the water is slender, the sun is hot, and the moon is gentle ... but human nature and human heart can cover the dynamic and static, the rigid and the soft, even if a thousand stones can be dripped through, a hundred steelmaking can be soft. How to understand this sentence?
"There is a tiger in my heart", and there is a fierce tiger in my heart. It is not the evil of human nature, but the wildness, courage and courage, wisdom and dreams of human heart. The beast's "king" consciousness, defending its authority and status, is inviolable. Although the power of human thought is not high, it has the ambition to conquer and possess, the great ambition to advance and create and the iron will.
"Smell the roses" and feel their fragrance. The English word is "rose", translated by Mr. Yu Guangzhong as "rose", which has a general artistic conception. Not just wild flowers, but all tiny and beautiful things.
"Fine", as opposed to "fierce", has a fine feeling and taste, and can perceive tiny beauty with heart, peace and gentleness. The fierceness of tigers and the humbleness of wild flowers can also constitute beautiful scenery.
"There is a tiger in my heart" is of course the passion and lofty ambition of hard work, which is shocking. However, the moment you lower your head and smell the flowers quietly, you miss the insignificant beauty, which is the touching moment when heaven and earth are all spiritual and time is stagnant.
The last sentence emphasizes the unconquerable wildness, which is a hard place, and the next sentence emphasizes the natural expression of emotions, which is a delicate feeling. It is this strong contrast that makes this beautiful unity amazing.
The more powerful he is, the more attractive and valuable he is when he smiles gently. Why do some people like it?
In fact, many people prefer the latter sentence. Why?
Combining rigidity with softness is the perfect personality.
There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "Kun Rougang, Jing Xian." Soft ground, rigid movement and quietness are the virtues, bearing everything.
Confucius said, "A wise man is as good as water, and all rivers run into the sea; Benevolent people stop at the top of the mountain and carry things with virtue. "If a wise man is like water, a benevolent man is like a mountain, and Bona is thick and broad, he is a gentleman. The toughness of the mountain, the softness of the water, the combination of benevolence and wisdom, and the gentleness of the gentleman.
Laozi said: "The world is not weaker than water, and the strong cannot win, so it is not easy." Water from weak to strong, if people have the virtue of water, they are invincible.
"Stiffness" is a wise strategy to guide the country and assist the monarch. It is the principle and integrity of a gentleman to seek things in life and not to be chaotic in times of crisis. "Richness cannot be lewd, and power cannot be bent", while "softness" is a kind of reconciliation with the world, people and self, which can bear the burden of humiliation, compromise expediently and be as gentle as jade.
People pay more attention to the softness in human nature and are closer to the true heart. "rigidity" is fearless after experience, "softness" is an undisguised expression of true feelings, and it is a pure heart.
Smell roses, which emphasizes love and warmth, is so touching!
Qiao Feng in "Dragon's Eight Branches", with his martial arts, resisted foreign enemies and was upright and upright, had a deep affection for Arjun until his death, which made many people feel distressed!
"Wisdom is bound to hurt, and love will not last long." The protagonist's children are affectionate and always make people want to stop and sigh!
"Look at a thousand fingers coldly and bow your head as a willing ox." What impressed Lu Xun most was his standing hair and bright eyes. His article propped up the stiff national backbone, but his smile warmed a generation.
Only a tiger-like heart, cold and heartless, only smells "rose fragrance", which is cowardice and incompetence. Running to the distance and enjoying the beautiful scenery under your feet can not only glare at bandits, but also warm others. This is the real personality charm.
Smelling roses emphasizes being single-minded only to the person you love!
"Tiger" regardless of the object, just from beginning to end, and "Rose" must only care, only show gentle eyes.
The more tenacious and calm a person is, the more he will hide his heart and the less he will expose himself. Only the casual love of the loved one will make people feel more valuable.
The surface is as clear as ice and as deep as a valley, but the heart is as delicate as water. Gao Lengfan just didn't meet the right person.
These eight words just illustrate the way the so-called overbearing president does things. Not only can you win the sky with one skill, but there is only room for one flower in your eyes. It may be your own dream to combine ability with tenderness, reason and sensibility.
