it is the environment.
Editor: I disagree. I think there is a good reason why C-E dictionaries give
"nature" as their definition of 大自然, and not "the environment." 大自然
(nature) is a concept that was understood by pre-scientific minds, thousands
of years ago. The concept of "the environment" is relatively modern notion that
developed out of a scientific understanding of the world.
Diff:
= 大自然 大自然 [da4 zi4 ran2] /nature (the natural world)/
# 大自然 大自然 [da4 zi4 ran2] /nature (the natural world)/the environment/
