这一句确实是经典，苏轼也确实是大文豪，只字片语就将宇宙人世的道理道明，以月亮的圆缺类比人世的离合，虽无法两全却可以善处。
zhè yī jù quèshí shì jīngdiǎn ，Sū Shì yě quèshí shì dàwénháo ，zhīzìpiànyǔ jiù jiāng yǔzhòu rénshì de dàolǐ dào míng ，yǐ yuèliàng de yuán quē lèibǐ rénshì de líhé ，suī wúfǎ liǎngquán què kěyǐ shàn chǔ 。
This line is indeed a classic, Su Shi was also indeed a master. With just a few words he can capture the logic of the world and the universe, using the phases of the moon as a metaphor for the meeting and parting in the world. Although you can't have everything, you can come to a good compromise.
