若いときは「体が楽しみ」であり、年を取れば取るほど「目の楽しみ」だ。若いときは細胞が生きて体が感じながら楽しむけれども、年を取れば細胞が死ぬので、触っても、食べても、よく感じられない。だから目で見ながら楽しむ。
It is ‘the joy of the body’ when one is young; it is ‘the joy of the eyes’ as one grows older.When you are young, your cells are alive, so your body feels and enjoys. When you grow older, your cells die, so you cannot feel well even though you touch or eat. Therefore, you enjoy while looking at it with your eyes.
