At dusk each day during summer, the jasmine flowers that the farmers didn't manage to harvest during the preceding day slowly start to open up, their light scent slowly filling the air. Then, in the dark of night, the delicate white flowers open fully, completely saturating the night air with the scent of jasmine.
每到夏天傍晚時分，花農們白天來不及採收的茉莉花正慢慢吐蕊，淡淡的香氣在空氣中飄散著；等到半夜，白色的花朵全綻放了，濃郁的氣味瞬時在山區瀰漫，台灣歌謠「六月茉莉」裡的那句「六月茉莉透暝香」，就是茉莉最香時節最寫實的描繪。
