你喜歡觀賞葉子，還是喜歡觀賞花朵？就任由你選吧！蘭花，就有那麼好的能耐，任人喜歡觀賞葉子還是花朵，它們都能任人精挑細選，各取所需，它們都能盡出渾身解數，大顯其身手，大展其才華。
是孤芳自賞也罷！是大家共賞也罷！
多少種葉子，
多少種花朵，
紛呈著。
多少種姿態，
多少種顏色，
紛呈著。
在山中，在田野，在森林，它們自由自在地生長，繁榮，開花：有些被人們遷移了，遷移到了花園裡，遷移到了人家的大客廳中，它們照樣自由自在地生長，繁榮，開花，絲毫不受影響。所以，有多少人唱著：
我從山中來，
帶來蘭花草……
你喜歡觀賞葉子，還是喜歡觀賞花朵？那都是絨質的，綢質的，多麼柔和，多麼美好！
而且，也喜歡嗅聞它們的芳香吧！

The Orchid Hsu ChiCheng
Do you like to appreciate the leaf or the flower? It up to you as you pleased. The orchid has the talent to let people to appreciate. They all promised to let people to handpick, take what they want, they all promised to let people to do what they can, gotta show what they’re all about, to show their talent.
May be self-appreciate own beauty and fragrance! May be appreciated by all!
As many as the leaves,
As many as the flowers,
Come thick and fast.
As many as the postures,
As many as the colours,
Come thick and fast.
In the mountain, in the country field, in the forest, they grow leisurely and carefree, flourishing, bloom: some moved by people to plant in the garden, to the parlour, they still grow and bloom leisurely and carefree, not have any influence on them. So, as many as the people to sing:
I come fro the mountain,
Carry the orchid…
Are you like to appreciate the leaf or the flower? They all are flannel-like, silk-like, how soft and how fine they are!
And, you may love to smell the sweet-scented!@*
