幽深与生机
Deep shade, living growth
返景入深林，复照青苔上。
The low sun enters the deep wood and lights the moss again.
全唐诗 · 王維《輞川集 鹿柴》
· our translation
Not a wilderness: a wood deep enough to be quiet, with light still getting through.
此处「林」是成片的树，取幽深、静而不死之意——光还进得去。
独处而不孤
Alone without being lonely
深林人不知，明月来相照。
Deep in the wood, no one knows I am here; the bright moon comes to keep me company.
全唐诗 · 王維《輞川集 竹里館》
· our translation
The wood is where people are not; the moon answers instead. Solitude that is not abandonment.
「深林」是人所不到之处，句子的落点是「明月来相照」——独处，但有人（有月）应。
林木林泉山林松林林泉林壑林风
In a name
A grove rather than a single tree: 林 gives the name a place to be, not just an object.
「林」在名字里不是一个字，是一片地方——它让名字有了可以待着的地方感。
