interest/sense of interest/enjoyment etc.. Explanation: I would not give any single translation of 趣味 in isolation from the sentence. 这种油然而生的趣味,令人回味无穷。 I would say something like: 'There's a sort of natural interest here that's unforgettable.' But it's really hard because the Chinese language is so much more 'decorative' than English when it comes to this stuff. |
