【No. 2178】Yūyū Jiteki (悠々自適 - Leisurely)

Oct 8, 2023 18:34
Yūyū Jiteki

Someday, I would like to live a life that is described as yūyū jiteki (悠々自適).

Yūyū jiteki is a four-character idiom that means to live a free and quiet life away from the troubles of the world.

Yūyū (悠々) describes a state of being relaxed and calm.

In addition, jiteki (自適) means to enjoy things as one's heart desires.

A life represented by either yūyū or jiteki is wonderful, and combining them makes it even more awesome.

Unfortunately, I might be leading a life far from both yūyū and jiteki today.
悠々自適

私はいつか「悠々自適」な生活を送りたいです。

「悠々自適」は、世の中のわずらわしさから離れ、自由気ままに静かに暮らすことを意味する四字熟語です。

「悠々」はゆったりと落ち着いているさまを表します。

また、「自適」は心の赴くままに楽しむさまを表します。

「悠々」と「自適」、どちらの熟語で表される生活も素敵ですが、組み合わせることでさらに素敵なものになります。

私は今、「悠々」とも「自適」ともかけ離れた生活を送っているかもしれません。
